It seems like he was hospitalized in Feb 1902 with PTSD from his military service.
''Son of late Dr. John Maury., grandson of Mayor Maury''

DC Lists him as single, Congressional, 1866 DC, May 14, 1907

1902 note mentions him being found by a policeman, ''suffering from a nervous affliction'',
Also seems to been married, at least for a time to a Henrietta Brooke in 1896
As per the 1970 census he was son of Thomas, not John, and may have been raised or overseen by John, for a time, and mistakenly named in the above newspaper notice.
It is conceivable too I guess that his mother was 13 - 14 year old Lucy Fontaine Gregory , which could explain the 1905 ''Gregory'' shift from an original 1907 listing by others. A few possibilities for the problematic listing of a troubled grandson of a former DC Mayor.
