It was dangerous business to be a female interested in a Cartwright man. Ben (Pa) Cartwright had three wives which all died. Little Joe married once, she died. Hoss almost married, bad luck again.

In the Bonanza episode "Journey Remembered", Ben Cartwright's second wife, Inger, gave birth to Eric "Hoss" Cartwright.

Ben told Adam, "We'll give him both names and see which one sticks. Inger died in an Indian attack shortly after Hoss was born.
