Louisa's birth place is reported as the USA (1861, 1871, 1891), Canada (1851), and Scotland (1901) in various census returns. It appears that her father was a military settler so any are possible but it was most likely Canada or the USA.
?i?Bill McCullough notes
?/i?William Cowie on the Scotch Line was her great grandfather.
Janet and Robert Cowie came to Perth in the 1830's via the USA.
Robert Cowie was married to Henrietta Adams. Henrietta's brother John Adams farmed and taught music. John Adams and his wife (?) adopted his wife's niece, Louise McKay who later married Ralph Dodds. Their granddaughter, a Mrs. Ferrier lives across the road from the John Adams farm.

Dodds - In the sudden death of Mrs. Ralph Dodds, of Glen Tay, on Thursday morning last that community and township is bereft of a whole hearted woman. Mrs. Dodds was in her usual health and on Thursday morning was going about as usual until about 10 o'clock when she fell in a faint.

Adams, on the Scotch Line, and his home was her home until her marriage with Mr. Ralph Dodds in 1851. Their marriage was a long and happy one and the bereaved and aged husband is tendered the sympathy of the community in the sudden loss he has been called upon to bear in the death of his sharer of joyts and sorrows for more than 55 years.
Eight children were born to the union: Alex., Davidson Man.; Mrs. Robert Miller, 3rd line of Bathurst; Mrs. Robert Miller, Rideau Ferry; John A., on the homestead; James (deceased), Mrs. R.M. Rudsdale, 3rd line Bathurst; Mrs. Lorenzo Miller, Crookston Minn.; Matthew, Smiths Falls.
The funeral took place on Saturday afternoon to Elmwood cemetery; service was conducted at the house and grave by Revs. D Currie and J.G. Greig. The pallbearers were relatives of the deceased. The funeral cortege was a long one and evidenced not only respect and esteem but sympathy for the family in their sudden loss.
