Private User - be careful on interpreting terms like brother & sister & son in colonial wills / indentures / documents, they used kinship terms somewhat differently than we do nowadays. So the brother / sister notes could well in laws.

Also, please compile the citations in her profile “about.” Try to pull it together chronologically so we can track through name changes and time.

And, we have a profile for Rose as wife and mother, so the efforts need be to show that 1) Rose belongs in this family of origin (Rose Spencer as daughter of Lady Mary Spencer & Nicholas Spencer, of Cople) and then that Rose Spencer married Thomas Sheppard. We know who she is after that.
