The twelfth child and youngest daughter of James and Jane Rundlet, Louisa Catherine Rundlet, was born in 1817. She married in 1840 the Hartford born, Savannah merchant, George Hall May. Like so many of Rundlet's family, he died prematurely in 1858. Louisa and her twins, James and Jane Rundlet May, rejoined her family at the Middle Street house. She died in 1855. Her son James Rundlet May inherited the house on Middle Street.
