I spent a good proportion of last year working in the South Pacific (yes, I know - start the violins). One thing I noticed in one of the countries, was their strict observance of the Sabbath, which started on Saturday night. This was irrespective of religious denomination, which included Wesley, Latter Day Saints and Uniting. Interesting discussion.

Aside from the fact that they kept a Sunday Sabbath, the church didn't even come into being until after Charles Ingalls was born, and didn't spread much beyond its original congregation until shortly before Laura was born. http://www.adventist.org/world-church/facts-and-figures/history/ Yeah, definitely nothing to suggest that the family were Seventh Day Adventists.

The idea of beginning at sundown the night before has its roots in Judaism, where every day begins at sundown rather than at midnight or sunup. The Jewish calendar still runs this way today, therefore the celebration of Jewish holidays actually begins at sundown the evening prior to what we would consider the day of the festival.

Particularly the idea that Sabbath began sundown Saturday night to sundown Sunday.
