Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thomas Talbott McGee (b. 13 Sep 1849, VA, d. 24 Nov 1894, TX) married Mary Blandy Taylor (b. abt 1870, MO, d. 1943, England) on 5 Jun 1889 at the home of her uncle, George T. Lynn (b. abt 1844, OH, m. Julia Jane Blandy of OH, on 26 Apr 1871, in Muskingum, OH), in Kansas City, Jackson Co., Missouri. In the 1880 census, George T. Lynn is listed as Mary’s uncle, having married Julia Jane Blandy. The Blandys came from England via Muskingum and Licking Counties, Ohio. Am guessing that Julia is a sister of Mary's mother, but I can't yet figure who that would have been, as I can't find Mary or her family in 1870. It is possible that Mary's age, 14 on the 1880 census, is incorrect, as later records, e.g. her burial marker, indicate she was born in 1871. Here is what I think I know about Julia Jane Blandy Lynn, wife of George T.
