Note:

a) "moved from Canada to Union City, TN in 1880" - Virginia Reaves
(Obviously, this was more like 1881)
I guess when he got to the states he couldn't quite remember how old he was because his first US census is way off, giving birthdate as 1842, when the other three in Canada have been for 1851, 1850, and 1849

Hello Valerie
Here is what I found in the 1900 Obion Co. Tenn census on your family.
Note, Sarah gave her name as Sallie which is the diminutive for Sarah.
The census was taken June 1st, 1900 13th District, Union City, TN.

This is the only George that is close to matching ours - all
others are way too young (according to LDS full transcription of
the 1880 census)
The only thing is the birthplace of LA - but you know....

1- I have a George T. McManus born in Canada abt 1851 in Lanark
Ontario. Have not been able to find him I know that his brother
Robert T was in Union City in 1900.This could be the one i'm
looking for.Hope to hear from you.
2- George T McManus was born abt 1851 in Lanark Ontario Canada
Father Edward McManus Mother Catherine Quinn he had five
brothers and five sisters. I'm sure it is the same George T
McManus as no trails of him in Canada after about 1880 . Hope
this helps.
3- George's parents where Edward McManus and Catherine Quinn.
Brothers James, Edward,William, Robert,and William John sisters
Mary,Margaret, and Elizabeth. Hope this will help.If you find
out anymore on him would you let me know.
