I do show an ancestral record on the web of a Jon McKim, father Robert, mother Mary, who married a Mary Elizabeth Townsend. Their children were: Elizabeth, Nettie Susie, Judi, Lucretia J., Boon, David, and Ludi. I'm not sure if this is the same person, but since they have a child named Lucretia, which is also the name of Major's wife, and another child named Ludi, which is possibly also the name of Lena's child, it's possible there's a relation. Found the tree in familysearch.org's Ancestral File.
