Louisa Jane Welborn was born in Hall County, Georgia about 1876, third child to parents, Andrew Dolphus Welborn and Nancy Lawing. At age 16, her father signed permission for her to marry widower, F. Burton Neaves on 22 Mar 1892 in Booneville, Logan, Arkansas.
Burton Neaves previously married to Penelope Edmund had two children, Samuel Edgar Neaves (1881-1900) and Edna L. Neaves Busby (1887-1967).

George L. Davis previously married to Emma Sullivan (1873-1903) had six children; Ella Frances Davis Puckett (1890-1936); Andrew Lewis Davis (1892-1971); Sam Davis (1893-1978); Hattie Mae Davis Welborn (1897-1981); Sterling Davis (1899- ); Tommie Davis (1902- ).

After 1917, Lou Welborn remarried for a 3rd time, to James W. McNies, a widower.
James W. McNies previously married to Maude G. Harp (1888-1913) had three children, Mary Etta McNies Dawson (1906-1980); John Fletcher McNies (1910-1953) and Jennie Mae McNies Rues (1913-1935).

It is known that Louisa Jane Welborn resided in Hall County, Georgia; Howard County, Arkansas; Logan County, Arkansas, Bowie County, Texas, Red River County, Texas and Bryan County, Oklahoma.
Upon her death 17 Jan 1923, in Red River County, Texas, the three youngest children went to different homes. It is unknown what became of her daughter, C.C. Davis. Her son, Raymond Lee Davis was adopted by parents, James Ambros Neff & Marguerite Czarowitz. The youngest daughter, Dorothy May McNies was raised by her father, James W. McNies.
In Louisa Jane Welborn's short life, she experienced many challenges and hardships. Her home was a gathering place for many family members. And due to the size of her family there are many family connections. May Louisa be not forgotten, for lack of a headstone.
