On August 11, 1853 in Jackson Co., TN, Louisa was united in marriage to Hiram Hargate (Hargett), son of James Hargate, by the Baptist Church Minister of the Gospel, Felix Patterson.
They had 4 children: Martha Frances (b. Sept. 16, 1854 in TN), James Alexander (b. December 11, 1856 in TN and died April 18, 1923 in Wayne Co., MO), William Henry (b. March 13, 1859 in IL), and John Riley (b. October 1, 1861 in IL).
In 1862, Louisa's husband, Hiram, enlisted in the Union Army during the Civil War and began serving with the 87th Illinois Infantry, Co. F, out of White Co., IL. According to his military records, he died on February 24, 1863 at Baptist Church Hospital in Memphis, TN during a measles epidemic that swept through camp while he was stationed there.
