Notes for Elizabeth Rose "Roxie Lee" Barber:

Someone told Eula Roxie's real name was Elizabeth Rose and that somewhere along the line she begun to be called Roxie Lee. This might explain why Roxie i not listed with the rest of the family in the 1870 Census of Smith county, Texas, however, an Elizabeth, age 4 years, was listed with the Jackson Barber family who lived in the next house, as was Mary Barber, age 84, who was the Grandmother of Roxie. Perhaps she was visiting in the home when the Census taker came and thus was listed with them.

After her marriage she seemed to always be known as Roxie Lee and is buried under that name in the Duncan Cemetery.
