Is there a reliable source for her maiden name? The Cooke "silver book" (pub. 1996) says her maiden name is unknown. Perhaps you have a more recently published source that identifies her as Rossiter? The Edward Small Genealogy only identifies her as Jane, as far as I can see. If there isn't a reliable source, her LNAB should be changed to Unknown.
