There was never a Rachel, Percival or Nancy, all fictional characters for the television program. The Nellie and Willie in Laura's On the Banks of Plum Creek are based after the Owen's family. The Nellie character in the later books is supposed to be a composite of three people in Laura's real life, Nellie Owens, Genevieve Masters and Stella Gilbert.
The tv show is based on the books and people like Nancy, Percival, Rachel, Albert, James and Cassandra are all fictional. The only episodes I found to be closely related to the books were episodes in the very beginning of the tv series, like Country Girls and Town Party, Country Party.
A very good book to read on Laura's real life is Becoming Laura Ingalls Wilder by John T. Miller.
