Louisa Foster came to Texas as a child with the Old Three Hundred, the first settlers brought to Texas by Stephen F. Austin. She married a young traveling preacher from Tennessee, the Rev. Finis Foster. Unlike many women at this time, Louisa was educated and well read. During this period, discussions and critical views of religion were the domains of the men. Louisa, however, voiced her views freely and believed that women should be allowed to do so. Having turned to religion for consolation following multiple deaths in her family, Louisa organized and led her own weekly prayer group and was one of the few women to actively try to convert both men and women to her church.
