Louisa Caroline Knowles Decker was the daughter of David Knowles (1787-1861) of Knox County, Ohio. She was the wife of Benjamin Greene Decker, Sr., from whom she sued for divorce in May 1866. She was the mother of, among other children, Zachary Taylor Decker.
Her first husband was William Jackson, a captain in the Mormon Militia under Joseph Smith, Jr., and Brigham Young. He was killed in the Mormon Purges in Illinois. She was eventually baptized into the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
From the "True Latter Day Saints' Herald", published in Plano, IL, on February 1, 1870:
"All who knew her, esteemed her as a true and faithful Latter Day Saint. She was always, when possible, present at the Saints' meetings to bear an unyielding testimony, and manifest the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Though she has gained eternal life, we feel that we have lost a sister of good works, and a strong advocate of the cause of Christ."
