Does anyone have any information on a James E. BERRY, born March 1839 in Wakefield, Carroll Co, NH. His wife, Abby D. UNKNOWN was also born in NH abt 1851. They had two daughters, Eunice BERRY, born May 1881 and Alice BERRY born August 1883, both in NH. In the 1880 Federal Census for Washington, DC, it shows James (age 40) and Abby (age 29) boarding in the hotel of the wealthy Hiram J. King on F Street, NW, and James working at "keeping a livery stable". They were married during that census year. In the 1900 Federal Census for Washington, DC, it shows James E. Berry, now widowed and 61 yrs old, living on G Street with his two daughters, Eunice, 19, single and "at school", and Alice, 16, single and "attending school." It says "livery stable" for James' occupation. Interestingly, it lists both girls as born in New Hampshire, not Washington, DC. James and Abby may have returned to NH for the birth of their daughters? Cannot find any proof or information. Again in 1910, James is listed with his daughters, Eunice and Alice renting in Precinct 1 in Washington, DC. James had not remarried, was 71 yrs old and occupation listed as "proprietor livery." Eunice, 28 and still single, has occupation listed as "none." Her sister Alice, 26 and also still single, is listed as a teacher. I assume James died after 1910 as there are no other listings of him in the 1920 Census. In 1890, various Washington, DC directories list him as proprietor of Ebbitt House Stables. I have information on James' parents and siblings, but would be most interested in learning more about James' death and burial, all information about his wife Abby, and his two daughters Eunice and Alice, who seem to disappear after 1910. Did they marry? I also would love to know more about the Ebbitt House and its stables. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance. Wendy
