Owned a hotel until his death until his death at age 85.
Also in this family lot are two of his employees/or individuals that lived in the hotel. Hepsabeth Dudley who was 60 in 1850 but doesn't have an occupation listed for her and Susan Robbins who was buried in this lot after his death. She is also listed in the 1850 census, but in 1903 she was working at another hotel when she died. Should there be a blood relationship, this writer could not locate it and would appreciate it if someone could contact me if they know of one.

In Manchester, New Hampshire, is an old hotel which has borne several
names and finally was removed bodily and joined to another hotel.
Recently the house was purchased, refitted and renamed, being now called
the Rice Varick Hotel.
For many years after it was originally built, in 1840, the place was
called Shepherd’s Tavern, from the landlord, William Shepherd, who
leased it from the Amoskeag Manufacturing Company, which built the
house, having just sold off by auction a number of building lots in the
town. The house prospered, and in 1851 was much enlarged. Not long
afterwards Shepherd purchased the property, which later was named the
Manchester House. Situated so remotely from the great centres of things,
the old hotel was nevertheless favored with guests whose names were
house-hold words throughout the nation. President Lincoln, President
Pierce, John C. Calhoun, Lewis Cass, General Winfield Scott, General
Benjamin F. Butler, Theodore Parker, Daniel Webster and Stephen A.
Douglass were among those who stopped at Shepherd’s Tavern. When the
hotel building was moved a few years ago and incorporated with the New
Manchester House, its old names were discarded and it was known by the
name of the latter. Its historical significance is entirely confined to
the nineteenth century.
