We do not have a date of death for Jane: but reading the census information would indicate she had died between the 1870 census and the 1880 census, Jane was said to be deeply involved in the "Banks Cumberland Presbyterian Church that was about 10 or 12 miles south of Smithville in Dekalb County, Tennessee.
