Hosea Stout's journal entries about her birth:

Wednesday April the 22nd 1846. The weaher was warm, sultry with a damp heavy air & broken cluds Earley thismorning the camp commenced moving. At 8 o'clock and just as we were going to start Louisa was taken sick and delivered of a daughter and we calle its name Louisa. This was my first born in the wilderness as some of the old prophets once said and from the situation of our dwelling might be called a "Prairie chicken". We did not go to day in consequence of her being confined but herded our cattle as usual when we did not travil.
