Notes:
The 1900 Census says Thomas Thackeray was born January 1844 in England, and was living at 625 9th
St SW Washington DC, working as a Bottler. I assume it's the same guy whose name is on the bottle
below, even though it's spelled with an 'ay', and the name on the bottle just ends in 'y'.
The city directories list Thomas Thackery (without the 'ay') in the 1870s as a confectioner and
seller of "tonic beer". But in the 1880s-1900 the city directories have his name spelled with
the 'ay'. I'm assuming it's all the same guy with 2 ways of spelling his name.
