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.
