| Info | John J. ENRIGHT, of Burlington [Chittenden County, Vermont], was born 06
April 1862 in South Burlington [Chittenden County, Vermont]. In 1878
graduated from the Burlington high school and began the study of law in the
office of Judge Hamilton S. PECK and later with Hon. Henry BALLARD. At the
age of twenty-one he was admitted to the Chittenden County bar; had charge of
Mr. [Henry] BALLARD's office for a year while that gentleman was absent in
the West, doing quite a large business at that time. He then opened the
office which he now occupies; these quarters are nicely furnished and
equipped, covering the whole ground floor; his clientage is steadily on the
increase, he having been obliged to employ a stenographer the past three
years to assist him. In politics has always been a strong Democrat; has a
large following in the Democratic ranks; in 1882 was a candidate for the
Legislature from South Burlington and only beaten by one vote; in 1892 was a
candidate for the office of Secretary of State. He has unusual business
ability and has been long identified with several business enterprises in his
city; is one of the owners of Mirror Lake Hotel at Lake Placid in the
Adirondacks and is interested in the Hotel Burlington; is also somewhat
interested in real estate in Burlington; takes great pleasure in owning and
driving fine horses and enjoys the reputation of possessing the finest
driving horses at all times; is well known among horsemen and has sold
several valuable horses at a large figure. He has risen to a prominent
position as a lawyer in this county and has a lucrative legal business,
ranking as one of the best commercial attorneys in the state.
[The father of John J. ENRIGHT appears to be John ENRIGHT, farmer, age
fifty-eight, born in Ireland (about 1822 by his census age) to parents also
born in Ireland, who is enumerated in the 1880 census of South Burlington,
Chittenden County, Vermont with: his wife Joanna (mother of John J. of the

there; son Michael (brother of John J.?), age twenty-one, born in Vermont;
son John, age twenty, born about 1860 in Vermont (the subject of the
biography?); and son T. J. (younger brother of John J.?), age fourteen, born
in Vermont about 1866. Was John W. ENRIGHT, born about 1868 and enumerated
in the household of Horace FRENCH in the 1880 census of Wardsboro, Windham
County, Vermont, related to John J. ENRIGHT of the biography? Bracketed
material added by submitter, who is not researching this surname, to support
and clarify information given in the biography and to raise questions.]
