This comes from the 1850 census, Hunting Quarters District, Carteret County:

183. Euriah Lewis76 MWFisherman
Elizabeth78 FW
Aga15 FW

This and the fact that their daughter was named Elizabeth Clarrisa is presumptive evidence that was the name of Clarissa Davis. Aga was probably their grandchild, child of a deceased child.

Your data agrees with mine:
