He married Hannah Elizabeth Megredy (a double Jobe descenant) on April 11, 1839 Cecil Co., Maryland. She was the d/o Daniel Megredy and Mary Reynolds. Daniel Megredy was s/o John Megredy and Elizabeth Maxwell Job, gd/o Archibald 'Arch' Job and Margaret Rees, and gt gd/o Thomas Vernon Job and Elizabeth Maxwell and gt gt gd/o Andrew Job JUNIOR.

He was the s/o David Evans Blair and Sarah Job, gs/o Morris Morrico Job and Lidia Bond, gt gs/o Archibald 'Arch' Job and Margaret Rees. So BOTH the wife of Col. Edwin W. Wilmer and M. W.

Hannah's father, Daniel Megredy and M. W. Blair's mother, Sarah (Job) Blair were 1st cousins, Hannah's grandmother, Elizabeth (Job) Megredy and M. W. Blair's grandfather, Morris Job were siblings. But don't forget that Col Wilmer's wife also had the Job connection through Andrew's son, Jacob. Colonel Wilmer wrote a series of interesting articles for the Smyrna Times which appeared in 1880. They were reminiscences of what Smyrna was like 50 years ago (therefore in the years 1830 or so). They were reproduced (in part) in Feb of 1931 in that same newspaper. from The Cecil Whig, Elkton, 1888: Cecil Co., MD Saturday, February 4, 1888: Death of Col. Edwin Wilmer. (NOTE: This article is abridged due to its length) As announced briefly in our last issue Col. Edwin Wilmer died suddenly at his residence at Govanstown, Baltimore Co.,, at a very early hour on Friday morning of last week. He had been suffering from cold and shortness of breath. The cause of death was paralysis of the heart. Col. Edwin Wilmer was in his 69th year, having been born September 10, 1819, in Smyrna, Del.

Pennell Combe, of the Philadelphia Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and left three children; Susan Elizabeth, who married Lampson Farrow merchant of Baltimore and left one child; Wm. Carmichael, who died in infancy. Col. Wilmer's father died when he was an infant, and the care of the family devolved on his widowed mother.
