No. In actuality, she was 3 1/2 years. She aged herself up in the book because she had already written Little House in the Big Woods (about her years near Pepin, Wisconsin) where she actually lived before AND after her time on the Kansas prairie. Little House in the Big Woods tells the tale of her second time living there when she was 5 and 6 years old. Thusly, when she wrote Little House on the Prairie, she made it in accordance with picking up where "Big Woods" left off.

Are there any living Ingalls relatives today?
Yes, The Ingalls family is still alive and well. I know this because I am a member of The Ingalls family by blood. My mother, Vickie (Ingalls) Xavier, is an Ingalls woman by blood and birth. I really wish people would stop telling the lies that my family is dead and gone from history. That's absolutely absurd and untrue. If it were true, I would not exist. While I am unable to have children, both of my sisters have children....one of my nephews has 2 of his own now..... My uncle, mom's brother, Larry Ingalls, is a grandfather and soon to be a great grandfather. So, as you see, and I have told you so, we, THE INGALLS FAMILY, are alive and well. Sean Hughes
