What happened to William Marbury after the US Supreme Court decision was handed down in Marbury v. Madison?

William Marbury decided against trying the case in the lower courts, and never got his commission. Marbury was already a wealthy man, and may have been less interested in becoming a justice of the peace than in challenging Jefferson's authority.

He went on to found two Georgetown banks, Bank of the Potomac (1809) and Farmers and Mechanics' Bank, where he also served as president, in 1814. He died in 1835, the same year as John Marshall.
