Carol, I find very little more than you have shown. Apparently Louisa married Charles Hopper, Sr. before 1850. Jacob Johnson may have been married to one of his daughters. Louisa's daughter, Elizabeth Frost age 12, also lived with them. An inquest on 01 October 1855 found that Charles Hopper fell or was thrown from a horse in the lane near Saltillo on 24 September 1855 which resulted in his death. Jacob Johnson was administrator of his estate. In 1850, Zechariah Frost, age 15 lived with James M. Hooks. William C. Frost, age 16, lived with Meady White.
