Who Ran the Tavern After Mr. Surratt's Death

[Susan Higginbotham]

I was able to visit the tavern this weekend and had an excellent tour guide. Unfortunately, after I left I thought of a question: who ran the tavern portion of the business during the period after Mr. Surratt's death and before Lloyd began leasing the premises? Would Mary have been in the tavern serving drinks in addition to her other duties when her son John wasn't home?
