Louisa Catherine "Luranie" Nealy Norris was born in April of 1860 in Columbus County, North Carolina, the sixth born child and only daughter of Edmund Nealy (who died as a result of the Civil War) and his second wife Elizabeth A. Cartrette Nealy. Louisa married Lorenzo David Norris, Sr., and they had eight children: Anna Glenwood "Annie" Norris Turner, Mary L. Norris, Edmund J. "Eddie" Norris, James William Norris, Mary Ann Norris Todd, Earl "Earlie” Norris, John Ansel Norris, and Lorenzo David Norris, Jr. Louisa died about age 50 in 1910, and her burial place is probably in the Pleasant Grove Baptist Church Cemetery in Dillon County, South Carolina where her husband is buried.
Neely/Nealy is an Irish name. The Neely family crest has the motto in Gaelic, "Lamh Dearg Eirin," or "Red Hand of Ireland." Legend has it that in sailing to Ireland from Spain, it was decided that the first to touch Irish soil would be king. So the Neely (Neeley, Nealy, Nealey, etc.) who would be king cut off his left hand and threw the bloody hand onto shore in order to be first and king. In Gaelic "Neely" means "Courage."
