Death Certificate of Joseph Collins
Note that it says Jane or "Jensy's" maiden name was Bryant. Not what it says in the records, but one of Joseph's illnesses was senility, perhaps he got mixed up. The records say he was married to Jane Kello and there has been no indication he was remarried. Also the person giving the death certificate information was his youngest daughter, and she might have not remembered correctly.

Another note: Greene County, Tennessee was the birthplace of Davy Crockett in 1798. So there is the possibility that some of the Collinses knew some of the Crocketts.
