Her birth year on this marker, which was likely erected many years after Nancy's death, is incorrect.
Census records for Nancy Jane Osburn who married about 1840 in Kentucky to Wiley Blevins, indicate that she was born about 1820.
Affidavits in the Civil War Union pension file of her son Wilson Rose names his mother, Nancy Jane Blevins, his Blevins step-brothers, and aunt, Mary Osburn Winkle.
Although the death date on the marker is illegible, Nancy died before Aug 1886 (per Civil War Pension file of Wilson Rose, misspelled as Rouse in pension index).
