MARRIAGE-YEAR-CONFLICT: [LeAnn McRoberts, Mar 2007]
World Connect database of both Tony & Angela's Roots and OldsReinheart020507 has 1 Jan 1859 as the marriage date for Samuel and Henrietta which is 20 years after the birth of their first child. In fact all of their children we born prior to 1859 which leads me to believe the year is incorrect.
DEATH-CONFLICT: [LeAnn McRoberts, Mar 2007]
World Connect database of both Tony & Angela's Roots and OldsReinheart020507 have the same date of death for Samuel and his wife, Henrietta but place of death for Samuel is New York and place of death for Henrietta is Kentucky which seems odd and possibly incorrect.

Rosa's parents had died, Rawley in 1873 and Matilda in 1870. Given that the head of household's surname is Ross and Rosa's mother's maiden name was Ross, it seems likely that C.B and Mary A. Ross are grandparents though Rosa is not recorded as granddaughter but as servant.
