HNS had Lovisa’s name as Louisa Wren. It is believed she chose the name “Wren” because it sounded like her father’s name Ronn
Burrton Woodruff III notes for Lovisa Jonasdotter RÖNN
Reviewing Helen Stone Woodruff’s research materials. I read letters from Abner Norland who remembers his grandfather, Augustus Swan Aelmore calling Louisa and Alanson aunt and uncle. He thought his grandfather’s mother and Louisa might be sisters. Given the Catherine’s last name was Johnson, they may have been sisters-in-law. I have no further information.

Louisa’s daughter Isabelle Katie married James Edward Catlin
James Edward Catlin’s sister was Joanna Elizabeth Catlin
Joanna Elizabeth Catlin married Augustus Swan Aelmore
Augustus Swan Aelmore’s daughter Lillie M married a man named Norland
Lillie was Abner Norlands mother.

Note sent to ancestry.com regarding hint I received:
The Johnson you have Louisa married to may not be the correct Johnson. You have an 1880 census of Louisa with C. F (Kansas, McPherson, Harper, 262, p2 on June 17). I am a direct descendent of Louisa and A. A. Woodruff. She is listed in the 1880 Census in Burrton, Harvey County, 237, p1 (June 1 & 2) with my grandfather (Bertie) and his sibs and half sibs.
