Mayor of Washington, D.C., from 1822 to 1824.
Married November 2, 1826 Mary H. Manning
Brother to Louis , a probate notice notes that his residence will be kept by his 2 sisters Ruth and Caroline.
His grandnephew Colonel William McSherry Ritchie & Dr.Louis W Ritchie are buried at Holy Roodichard Lay, buried nearby was noted as an executor to help Mr. Carbery's 2 sister's with details. Also one of Mr. Lay's kids has Carbery as a middle name in tribute it would seem.
He was on the first listing of Committee for building of the Washington Monument Sept 26, 1833.
Searching the papers of the day his name is mentioned in numerous places but nothing else stood out, and am still working. Banking seemed to be somewhat primary and came across something that noted that he was on a committee to help build the Washington Monument. It said that his name appeared on the cornerstone but can't find that reference. Newspaper comments and committee notes over a 20 years span on the Monument never included his name but he may have been more active in the later stages and was one of the names on that cornerstone and not a central name over that 20 year span.
