She is listed in her father's will, along with a sister Hannah Doss. She was buried at the church which was the center of the great revival of 1803.

In 1830, she was not with James A, Azariah, John, Gabriel or George W Doss, Lydia Ann Hynes, Hannah Hundley, Elizabeth Turner, or with sister Hannah (Ayres) Doss and her husband Joel. Son Stephen died in 1818. In an effort to locate her residence in 1830, I searched the Logan Co KY census. There were a total of 22 women 70-80 in 1830 in Logan Co KY, none on houses headed by Lydia Ann's family members.

One very large household in 1830 Logan Co KY was George Hankins and Eli McLean, "Trustees at South Union," apparently a Shaker community, with 242 white people and 17 slaves and free people of color, including six white women 60-70, one woman in her 70s and two in their 80s. Lydia is not listed among the people who died there.

Another large residence, although nothing near as large as the other, was that of Nancy Daniel, with 13 people, including a woman in her 70s.
