Jane Younger "Jincy" Mackey (1818–1864) was born on June 30, 1818. She married Charner
Hopson Neely (1816–1864) in Lauderdale County, Alabama, in 1845. They had two children and settled in 1851 in McNairy County, residing on land adjoining her father's property.

After her father died in August 1862, Jincy Mackey Neely and her family moved to Illinois, after her husband enlisted in the Union Army in October 1862 (Company G, 6th Tennessee Volunteer Calvary), at about age forty-six. He was captured by the Confederates and sent to the infamous Andersonville Prison in Georgia, where he died in August 1864. He is buried at the National Cemetery there. Jincy Mackey had already died of smallpox at the Federal Hospital in Mound City, Illinois, in February 1864, at age forty-five. She is buried in the cemetery near the hospital.

After their deaths, Jane and Charner's daughter Martha was raised by Jane's youngest sister, Rocinda, and her husband.

Note: I am unsure if this is the cemetery Jane was buried in. It is the only cemetery near the Federal Hospital that I know of, but I am deterred by the sheer amount of soldiers-to-civilian ratio here. Maybe Jane was buried here because of Charner's service in the Union?
