When looking at the https://geesnmore.wordpress.com/charles-gee-and-hannah/captain-james-gee/ above, within the section "Gees of Lunenburg County" there is a granddaughter of Charles Gee II (brother of Captain James Gee) and Bridget Neville who is named Sarah, who married an unknown "Barry". She is also Identified as the daughter of James Gee and as Sarah Barry in the section about James Gee. This is also supported in "The Gee Family" resource provided by Ancestry: https://www.ancestry.com/interactive/11633/dvm_GenMono001133-00025-1 in the section "The Lunenburg and Brunswick Gees Descendants of Charles II and Bridget Gee".

To me it appears that Charles II was the brother of Captain James Gee, who had a son named James who is the father of this Sarah who married a Barry. (William Taylor Barry)

The book, Barry Lore p. 61, does have a Sarah Gee married to a William Barry, but one born in 1755 in Virginia, not 1740 in Wales.

According to the book (p. 61), a William Taylor Barry Jr. was born ca. 1727 in Virginia and one of his son's was named William Barry, born ca. 1755 - he is the one married to Sarah Gee.

It seems unlikely that the wife of William Taylor Barry was the daughter of Capt. James Gee. His daughter, Sarah, did first marry John Rives, but secondly married John Bradley.

Edit (18 Jan 2024): He was dead by 1760 when his will was probated. Sarah Gee, the wife of William Taylor Barry who died ~ Jan 1798, appointed a James Gee to sell land for her that year. https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSL6-4DTB
