She was the second of five children, following Mary Amelia, who went blind in her teens. Their three younger siblings were Caroline Celestia, Charles Frederick (who died in infancy), and Grace Pearl.

A progenitor of the Delano family emigrated to the American colonies on the ''Mayflower'' in 1620; another family ancestor, Edmund Rice, emigrated in 1638 to the Massachusetts Bay Colony. One paternal ancestor, Edmund Ingalls, was born on June 27, 1586, in Skirbeck, Lincolnshire, England, and emigrated to America, where he died in Lynn, Massachusetts, on September 16, 1648.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Laura Ingalls Wilder」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
