NOTE: Rosa is also listed in the household of her son Stephan Friedman in St. Mary's Landing Missouri. I am not sure what the date is that this census was written. It is possible that Stephen Montgomery dropped her off at Stephan Friedmans house when they moved to Texas. Although this theory is not proven yet.
