About Louise Gabriella Allan

Louisa was the daughter of John William Patterson and Louisa DeHart. She married on October 5, 1830 (as his second wife) John Allan, the foster father of Edgar Allan Poe.

Unlike Allan's first wife Frances, who cherished young Edgar, Louisa had a somewhat contentious relationship with him.
