Abigail MacBride Allen - wikipedia Abigail MacBride Allen Abigail MacBride Allen ( born 1970 ) is the heir of the literary rights to the `` Little House '' books by Laura Ingalls Wilder and is the daughter of Roger Lea MacBride, the 1976 Libertarian candidate for President of the U.S. At the time of her father 's death in 1995, it was estimated that the value of the `` Little House '' fortune was $100 million. Little is known about her life or current residence, though she traveled with her father frequently during his 1976 presidential bid. She also made public appearances with Roger Lea MacBride during events celebrating Laura Ingalls Wilder. She was living in Charlottesville, VA and Miami Beach at the time of her father 's death in 1995. She is not the biological heir of Laura Ingalls Wilder. Wilder 's daughter Rose Wilder Lane, who had no children, befriended a young Roger Lea MacBride and later made him her heir. Abigail was adopted by Roger Lea MacBride shortly after her birth in 1970. Her rights as sole heir to the `` Little House '' fortune came in 2001 after a contentious two - year lawsuit. No images are publicly available, but she was described as a `` raven - haired Southern beauty '' by a New York Post reporter in 1999.
