Mary Surratt's Decision

[RobertLC]

Hi RobertLC,

What led Mary to that location on H Street in D.C., was the fact that her husband, had previously purchased that property. Therefore, since Mary already owned it, that is what led her there.

Hi,

Perhaps Mary thought she could be more financially sound by moving to the city and running the boarding house instead of running the tavern in the country.

However, if there is a place to find the answers to your questions, it is this forum.
