bullet  General Notes:

The exact year of birth for Rosa is unknown because she seldom gave the same information pertaining to her age. Here are the variations:

Gary, "Youngs of Belmont County, Ohio"; RootsWeb - 1 June 1874
1880 census - abt 1874, age 6
1900 census - Jun 1875, age 25
1910 census - abt 1880, age 30
1920 census - abt 1878, age 41
1930 census - abt 1882, age 48
1940 census - abt 1882, age 58

Note that the ages given on the 1930 and 1940 census would be impossible because they provide a birth year of about 1882 which was about 2 years after she was already enumerated in the 1880 census.

NOTE - If her birthdate was in Jun 1875, then her age should have been 4 or 5 instead of 6.
.

• She has alternate birth date of 1882 and a birth location of Missouri.

The age of 48 as given on the 1930 census and 58 as given on the 1940 census cannot be correct. That would provide a year of birth of about 1882 and she was enumerated 2 years earlier on the 1880 census.
