Eliza was born in about 1864 to the parents of Sampson and Patsy Smith Lewis.
She married Bill Johnson prior to 1882 in Clarksville, Texas. One child, Hattie, was born to this union on January 27, 1882, in Clarksville. Eliza died when Hattie was very young, so young that she couldn't remember her mother. The rumor going around at that time was that Eliza had been poisoned by a jealous woman. Hattie was left to be raised by her grandmother, Patsy, and her uncle and aunt, Edmond and Mattie Lewis.
No one knows what happened to Eliza's husband, Bill.
