I just checked the 1850 census of Lawrence Co. & you have most of the info
that is shown there with these exceptions:

You have the name of Jancy Jo & on the census it says Nancy Jane, age 10.

Also living in the household is J. Davis Collins, age 48, b. in TN & Nancy
Collins, age 42, b. in TN.

Have you written to the courthouse for a death certificate on William? It's
very possible that there is a record. I research there quite often & they
do have some very old records.
