Her name appears as Jane on various records.

Henderson County Cemetery Book cites death date as between 1880-1890 though she appears as widowed, age 77, born March 1823, on the 1900 census residing with their married daughter Winifred 'Winnie' E and John H Maxwell family on Fruitland Road, in Clear Creek.
Jane is also listed on the 1910 census, Clear Creek, age 87, residing with her grandson William J. Maxwell family. This record indicates she had 9 children, 2 living.

Findagrave contributor and researcher Jennie Jones Giles (#48363002) provided the article that appears on the Corn Family Cemetery home page. I've included some excerpts:

"The written report of the survey states that four of the graves had decipherable markings: Jesse B. Corn, 1818; Jean Drake, (wife of J.B. Corn, daughter of Hezekiah Drake) 1822; Mitchell Corn; and Leander Corn.
Jesse Corn and Jean Drake Corn are also noted in the book at Ebenezer Baptist Church Cemetery. A stone bearing their names was not found at Ebenezer, George Jones, founder of the Henderson County Genealogical and Historical Society, said. Early in the cemetery survey, some Corn family members believed that indecipherable stones at Ebenezer marked the couple’s burial sites.
“Their stones, with names and dates, were located and seen at the Corn cemetery,” Jones said."
