Louisa Rebecca Reich was the fourth (and fifth, as she was an identical twin) of ten known children (three sets of twins in family) of Johann Peter Reich (1808-1883) and Lydia McFarland Lockenour Priest (1813-1881), who married 19 Jan 1832 at Bartholomew County, Indiana. Most records show Lydia's maiden name as Lockenour (daughter of Jacob Lockenour Jr. (1789-???) and Elizabeth Price. Was Lydia first married to a Mr. Priest? The John Peter Reich family is said to have first lived at Vigo County, Indiana; then Itawamba County, Mississippi; and then Wood County, Texas.

In 1840 the family was living at Itawamba County, Mississippi. The first three children of their ten known children were born in Indiana and then the fourth/fifth in Mississippi, where the family had just moved. In 1850 the family (parents and their first nine children) were still living at Itawamba County, Mississippi. In 1854 the family was living at Smith County, Texas. The family moved to Wood County, Texas before 1860. In 1860 the family was living at Precinct No. 5, Sand Springs Post Office, Wood County, Texas with the parents and four children. In 1870 the parents, daughter Sarah and two girls, Elizabeth Reich (age 16, born TX) and Emeline Reich (age 12, born TX) were living at Precinct No. 5, Quitman Post Office, Wood County, Texas. It is thought that Elizabeth and Emeline were grand-daughters of John Peter Reich and Lydia, children of their deceased eldest child Rhodes Reich. In 1880 the parents were living alone at Wood County, Texas.

Louisa married Col. James Franklin Martin (1835-1899) on 20 May 1858 at Mineola, Wood County, Texas. Louisa and James were the parents of nine known children, namely:

1. James J. Martin (1860-1934)
2. Charles W. Martin (1862-1901)
3. Benjamin Martin (1864-1896)
4. Minnie Elizabeth Martin Boatwright (1867-1944)
5. Henry C. Martin (1870-1891)
6. John T. Martin (1873-1891)
7. Mack Preston Martin (1876-1949)
