About a month ago, I posted about Laura Ingalls Wilder's Aunt Polly and Uncle Henry. Polly was Pa's sister, and Henry was Ma's brother, so their children Cousins Charlie and Louisa were considered double cousins to Laura, Mary, Carrie, and Grace.
As it turns out, Pa's brother Peter and Ma's sister Eliza also married. Their children mentioned in the "Little House" books were Peter, Ella, Alice, and baby Dolly Varden.
Here's an article with historical information on Peter and Eliza Ingalls from Laura Ingalls Wilder, Frontier Girl.
Finally, here's a slightly Instagrammed photo of the young couple.
Hope you enjoyed this post on LHCO. Come back often for more "Little House" trivia!
