Hi Margaret,
I cannot find William Nesbit in Hancock County, but there is a William Nesbit with wife Isabel in Adams County, IL in the 1840-1870 census records, and their son William Matthew is there until his death in 1916.

This couple seems to be almost a generation younger than you had indicated in your message, but they do not consistently report their ages--she starts out older than he is, but by 1870 he's caught up.
I don't find either of them in the 1880 census. Findagrave has no listings for them in Adams County. Their daughter Mary apparently married Albert Cory May 21, 1865 (IL Sec of State marriage index) in Adams County, and by 1870 they are in Tama County, Iowa.
This could just be coincidence that another William R. Nesbit with a wife named Isabel, both born in KY happens to live in a county that borders Hancock County, but I thought I would pass the information along for you to check into.
