Note: NOTE: Not entirely sure about this, Maria and Louisa could be different people. One disappears early and the other turns up later. Both have dates of birth around the same time.

NOTE: Not entirely sure about this, Maria and Louisa could be different people. One disappears early and the other turns up later. Both have dates of birth around the same time.

If they are different then Louisa is probably older, since she doesn't appear on the 1850 US Federal Census, but then would only be 15 or 16 if she married. We also have a couple of other Louisa's born at around the same time and place to confuse things even more. Time will tell.
