Her death certificate records Mrs. Damie Lewis, age 85, born 13 May 1922 in Morgan Co., Ky, died 13 May 1922 in Morehead, Rowan Co., Ky, widow, father’s surname Lewis, mother’s maiden name blank, cause of death asthma and chronic bronchitis, informant John H.

Morgan Co., Ky marriage records list the marriage on 9 Aug 1859 of Milton Robinson/Robertson, age 20, and Diadama Lewis, age 21, both born in and residents of Morgan Co., at H. H. Lewis’s by T. N. Perry, witnesses H. H. Lewis and Jo. Perry.

(The ages and birthplaces are from the annual report to the state auditor, which gives Milton’s surname as Robinson. The witnesses, wedding location and minister are from the minister’s return in register book 1, which has no age, birth place or residence info, and spells Milton’s surname as Robertson, and has only the initial “D” for Damie’s given name.)

1860 census of Morgan Co., Ky, district 1, West Liberty P.O., enumerated 9 June, lists on p. 13 as family #79/77:
Milton Robison, 21, farmer; Damia, 21; Frank, 1/12. All born in Kentucky.

The next household is headed by Damie’s brother Tilman A. Lewis, age 27.

In 1870 Damie and the children of this marriage are recorded with her parents:
