Louisa (Schmitt) Wingert was born 2 Feb 1813 in Nünschweiler, Pfalz, in the Kingdom of Bavaria, a daughter of Wilhelm and Margaretha (Sprau) Schmitt, and granddaughter of Johann Friedrich Schmitt (h/o Maria Elisabetha Sprau) and Johann Heinrich Sprau (h/o Maria Margaretha Knerr).

Louisa was married to Johann Nikolaus Weber in Bavaria in 1833 and later to Georg Heinrich "Henry" Wingert sometime around 1838. She and her first husband Nikolaus settled in northern Young Township, Jefferson County, PA with the Schmitts in late 1833.
