What proof is there that Rose Wilder Lane had a son?
Rose's son is only mentioned in a handful of letters and alluded to in a diary entry. Apparently, sometime in the year after she married Gillette Lane, Rose either suffered a late term miscarriage, bore a stillborn son, or had a living son who died shortly after birth. A subsequent operation in Kansas City (where she was living at the time) probably left her unable to bear more children, and in her opinion, ir took her several years to regain her physical and mental health afterwards. Two letters (I believe), one to her writer friend Dorothy Thompson, and one to Charles and Joan Clark (friends who also lost a child), mention that Rose bore a son who died, and while this was tragic, tragedy was best viewed as a part of life everyone must face and accept. She also mentioned that she very rarely discussed the subject, and that few people who knew her later were aware of it, due to her preference to avoid discussing sad topics. It seems her reaction to this loss was similar to her mother's reaction to the death of her own newborn son. It seems Rose was not aware of the birth and death a week later of her baby brother until after her mother's death. Lane's penchant for "adopting" surrogate sons (Rexh Meta (whose Oxford education she subsdized), the Turner Boys of Mansfield, and of course, Roger Lea MacBride, clearly stemmed from the loss of her own child and subsequent divorce from her husband.

How did Laura ingalls wilder influence others?
The Homestead Act enthralled Laura's father, who spent a total of 10 years of his marriage moving his family from place to place to "make his bet with Uncle Sam" that he could fulfill all requirements to obtain title to his own farm. Laura's future husband Almanzo was just as enthused about the idea as Charles Ingalls was, but for both men - and Laura was an active part in both her father's and her husband's farm - it was a case of loopholes, fine print "gotcha"s
and above all else, uncooperative weather that soured them on the Homestead Act. Charles Ingalls wound up selling his claim as soon as he had it paid for, and Almanzo Wilder eventually decided to buy an existing farm that he would own outright (except for monthly mortgage payments, of course). The fliers posted at the time about the Homestead Act always carried the headline "FREE LAND!!" That "free land", in reality, bankrupted countless people.

If you're referring to the Mary Ingalls character from the Little House on the Prairie series, she did get married. To Adam, the blind man, remember? Adam Kendall was blind, but he regained his sight from an operation because he got blind from an injury rather than weakened nerves like with Mary. They ran a school for the blind as well. However, the actual Mary Ingalls never married or ran a school for the blind because blind women didn't marry back in those days, and the actual Mary probably didn't really have a desire to teach at a school for the blind.
