In the Family of Kilravock (page 385) she signs her ' deed of destiny' as Betsy Rose, in what Cosmo Innes calls a "s (letters obscured in copy) Roman hand'. Her brother, Kilravock, 'instantly makes payment of 7,000 merks in name of tocher. She is to be infeft in 1,400 merks of yearly rent out of ye barony of Abergeldie, and to have the manor house of Abergeldie to live in if she becomes a widow during the life of Euphemia, Abergeldie's mother, and after Euphemia's death to have the house of Knock as a dowery house.'
