After you click on the first Martin (to America 1741) and go to his page, click on son George, then John ("Fisher") Loy.You'll see Nancy and her marriage there.One county history gave "Fisher" John Loy with middle name William, but in most records you'll see him a just John Loy.(Some gedcoms have Fisher as his middle name, but it was only a nickname).While on the Martin Loy page, ifyou go to the "Special links of interest to Martin Loy's family" link, it will take you to a page that includes the link to a photo of the marker of John ("Fisher") Loy's grave, courtesy of the Union Co. [TN] Historical Society.
After posting your reply, I found William and Nancy in the 1880 Fannin Co., TX census.(I have a subscription to Ancestry's online census images.)They are still a mystery in 1870.The 1880 census gives more children, and some were born in MO.But the 1870 MO census index gives two William Longmires and neither are William and Nancy.
Here is the info I gleaned from the 1880 census:
Pct. 8, Fannin Co., TX, ED 31 pg. 29 sup 2, (the general index pg. # is 543.) 12 June 1880

Nancy 57 TN keeping house father nc mother TN
Mary 23 TN (daughter)
Haney (dau) 20 TN(looks like Nancy at first glance, but after studying it, it is "Haney")
Parley 18 TN (dau)
Ellen 15 MO (dau)
Jordan 14 MO (son) works on farm cannot write (apparently can read, since that part isn't marked)
Cynthia 12 MO (dau) cannot write(apparently can read, since that part isn't marked)
