CRAP !
Firstly, the boys were only Half-Brothers...
Ben Cartwright first met and married Adam's mother, Elizabeth Stoddard. She
died right after Adam was born (during childbirth) .
Then he met and married Inger Stevenson, a Swedish lady, when Adam was 6. The family moved west.
Inger was the mother of Eric (Hoss). Eric Haus Cartwright was called Hoss because it
meant 'big friendly man' (which he did grow up to be) and because when Ben
took Inger west, away from her brother, Haus, it was his one wish that they
would call their first (and only!) son 'Haus.'
Ben then took his two sons and went on where he met Marie DeMarigny, whom he
fell in love with and married. I don't know how old Adam and Hoss were, but
I think they were about 12 and 6. She had Joseph Francis Cartwright, whom
they called Little Joe, or Joe later on in the series, but she did not die
until he was 6 years old. She died from an accident when she fell off a
horse.
