Could anyone enlighten me on more details about this woman?

I have just located this name in the 1870 Fed Census, it shows enumerated as
COLCOISON, Nenny
Doniphan County, Burr Oak Twp, pg 046
KS 1870 Federal Census Index

I have not been successful in finding an operable copy of this document so if someone else can get to the information I would appreciate knowing what the details are about this woman. I have been looking for a Nenny Phillips or we suppose that is the name that she would have gone by before she married.

Our Nenny's mother was Caroline (?Castline, Casterline) Phillips who married our gg gf John Johnson (b.Denmark) in Lucas County, Iowa in 1870-71. Nenny reportedly was born before they met and married. Many Phillips family and extended family members moved from Iowa to Kansas although we had never found a potential Nenny until possibly? now!

Our Caroline is shown as a Castline child in the Daniel Phillips household, Lucas Co., IA, White Breast twp, 1850 Fed Census. The woman, Catherine that is in this household may be a second wife of Daniel or it may be his sister who was widowed. We know that family stories have that Daniel Phillips was widowed with one son, James who we believe is the child listed in the Census enumeration as the oldest child listed last in the Census after the Castline children which we have assumed to be Catherine's.

There was always a family story about Caroline having an older daughter named Nenny but we never had any indication where she had gone or exactly when. Our John Johnson and Caroline has 12 of their own and in the only family photograph that we have of them, the older daughter, Nenny is not shown-------so we had always assumed that she had married and moved away before the photograph was taken. In that photograph, the eldest son of John Johnson(b.Denmark), Peter William ("Will") (born about 1872) is shown as an adult young man.

If anyone has any information or can get to the complete census record of this COLCLOISON, Nenny---I would certainly appreciate any help!
Thanks in advance for anything that you may find.
