Biography
Find A Grave: Memorial #6213087
With Nancy's death in 1850 and Levi's in 1852, who took in their young children? Levi and Betsy Snell Collins's son Edmund lived next door (or on the next farm) to his father in 1850 census, and his family may have been able to do this. [JSC]
Is this Nancy named Sleeth (marriage record) or Sparks (original profile writer?) ?

Hi Ted, I have Levi Collins's first wife Elizabeth Snell in my family, so I've taken a look at the two sets of children. In doing that, I found FAG page for Nancy Sleeth Collins # 6213087. It cites IN Marriages to 1850 as source of her last name. I have not checked this reference, but you might want to. Best from Jane
