  • Name DOUGHTY, Rosa Lee  [1, 2, 3] 
    Birth 9 Feb 1870  Laurel County, Kentucky, USA Find all individuals with events at this location  [1, 2, 4, 5, 6] 
    • Date of Birth:  I am convinced that 9 Feb 1870 is correct based on the following. (1) Her granddaughter, Elizabeth Rae CLAXTON LANDOLT, who provided the death certificate information, was probably correct on the day and month, because she would have known when her grandmother's birthday was celebrated. But the year (1876) is incorrect. (2) The 1870 Census and the 1900 Census state that she was born in Feb 1870 (See following note.). - W. Winston COCHRANE IV

      1870 Census, Kentucky, Laurel County, Raccoon District, Page 21 and 22 from the Family Search website: (This data is also transcribed by the Laurel County Historical Society in their Book #112A, Page 134.) The original census taker made some errors. On Page 22, #157 is James F. Doughty. The sons listed under him (James and Thomas) are not his sons. On Page 21, #154 is Henry Thomas. Listed under him are James F. Doughty's family in 1870, his wife, Martha, and their 2 daughters, Lillie B. and Rosa L. - W. Winston COCHRANE IV

      Another information document to the Bureau of Pensions dated 29 Apr 1915 has similar data, but some of it conflicts. I assume this earlier document in 1898 to be correct due to the advanced age (75) of Doughty in 1915.
