Kentucky marriage records;
Rose Lee Coffey, age 17 of Adair, married R. G. Yates (Farmer), age 21 of Adair, on 6 September 1894 in Adair County, Kentucky.
Census data:
1880: Pct 6, Leatherwood, Adair County, Kentucky (30 June)
John A Coffey (45, KY) Head – Farmer
Julian (30, KY) Wife
Sallie J (12, KY) Daughter
Nannie D (7, KY) Daughter
Rosey R (3, KY) Daughter
Sole F (1, KY) Son
Martha Kemp (8, KY) Step-daughter
Beecher Williams (30, OH) Boarder – Minister of gospel

Robert G Yates (27, May 1873, KY) Brother-in-law – Farmer
Rosy L Yates (22, Jul 1877, KY) Sister, married 6 yrs, 1 of 1 children living.
Lawrence Beecher Yates (2, Dec 1897, KY) Nephew
NOTES:
Name scratched into concrete looks like "Coffee" a common variation of Coffey. Due to its location in the plot, it may be that Julia was her mother? (Now confirmed, Oct 2012!)
In the Coffey/Jones/Simpson/Eckert plot. Between Julia Coffey and Robert Jones.
Son:
Lawrence Beecher Yates. It would seem that Lawrence's middle name came from a minister 'Beecher Williams' that lived with Rosies family in the 1880 census. He must have made quite an impression on Rosie when she was a child.
