Jane's last name was TREDINICK.
Jane was supposed to have been from Platte City, Missouri, although as you said she was born in Wisconsin and her parents were born in England. Her brother-in-law, Cowan, also married a girl from Platte City.
The family knew nothing of her parents, she was supposed to have been an orphan. It may be that her parents died on a trip out west and that's how she ended up in Missouri.
The most common spelling for her surname seems to be TREDINNICK. The TREDINICK spelling was used in a family bible passed down from Henry Clay Bonney, although the family bible of Henry Jr. spelled the name TREDENIC. I believe the name is pronounced with the emphasis on the second syllable. There are various other ways to spell the name.
The surname is apparently Cornish (as in Cornwall, England). There's an old saying "By TRE-, POL-, and PEN- Ye shall know most Cornishmen." The 1871 Cornwall Census (on the internet at www.kindredkonnections.com) shows a number of Tredinnicks (including several named Jane).
I located a family in the Wisconsin 1860 Federal Census Index which may be hers. There is a Jane who is close to the same age. The evidence is thin, but if this is her this family has been traced back several generations.
