Talk:Caroline Ingalls

First white child born in Milwaukee area
The claim in the article that Caroline, born in December 1839, "may have been the first non-Native child born in what is now the Greater Milwaukee area" is not true. Solomon Juneau and his wife Josette Vieau were married circa 1818–1819, and in 1819 settled in what would become Milwaukee. They had 15 children. Also, Milwaukee County birth registrations show 2 children born in 1836, 4 children born in 1837, 11 children born in 1838, and at least 11 children born in 1839 before December. For each of those years, births registered probably represent only a minority of actual births. — Walloon 00:48, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
 * No doubt that all of that is correct. The erroneous claim is probably an exaggeration of the more reasonable claim that she was the first child born to settlers in the Town of Brookfield. Since that was a 36-square-mile area at the time, it's a much weaker claim. That is the claim that appears on the historical marker at the site of her birth, a photo of which is now in this article.

Little House Wiki link
I feel that the link for Caroline Ingall's page should be added, it has more information than this page. 97.122.161.142 (talk) 20:30, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

Quote about Freddie from "Pioneer Girl"
To the quote I added an attribution, the location of the original Pioneer Girl draft manuscript. However, there are four different versions of Pioneer Girl. If the quote is from a different version, please correct! LaNaranja (talk) 18:20, 25 November 2009 (UTC)


 * I moved it from the quote and attached it to the reference to the Pioneer Girl MS, where it should have been in the first place. LaNaranja (talk) 16:05, 27 November 2009 (UTC)
