The gravestone birth date of 1881 is in error, and so is Rose's TX death certificate which gives her birth date (from the informant) as 1880 . Rose could not have been born in 1880 or 1881, as her mother, Melvina (Shepherd) Barrick died on 15 Mar 1879. Rose is listed as 4 years old in her dad's household on the 1880 US Federal Census. In addition, Melvina had another child after Rose named Jesse Elwood Barrick who was born 4 Jan 1878 in Wise Co., TX.
