Carter Co., Ky birth records list Rosa L. Brinegar, born 4 Mar 1875, father Marshall Brinegar, mother’s maiden name Louisa King.
Census
In 1900 Rosa is living with her parents, listed as married and the mother of one child. Both her surname and that of her daughter Bessie is listed as Brinegar, but this may just be a recording error.
Notes for John Wilson & Rosa Lee (Family)
Rowan Co. marriage register A, p. 24, records the marriage of John W. Christian and Rosa L. Brinegar on 16 May 1889.
The were apparently divorced, because in 1900 Rosa is living with her parents, and John remarried to Rodempha Patton in 1907. (I have not found John in the 1900 census.)
