She was the daughter of Philip & Catharine Hushaw. At the age of 12, she married John Carpenter on 24 Jun 1847 in Fountain County, Indiana. (Fountain County, Indiana Marriage Record 2:  24 June 1847, John Carpenter to Louisa Hushaw, he of age.)

What happened to this marriage is unknown. I have been unable to identify the possible husband from the many John Carpenters on the 1850 census. In 1850, Louisa is age 14, living with (probably) an uncle & his family. Her father had died in 1840, and her mother was living nearby in Logan Twp., with only one of her children with her. Maybe the family ran Mr. Carpenter out of town, and the marriage was annulled.

She married Noah Hershberger on 13 March 1860 in Fountain County, Indiana. (Info from Darlene)
