The book, Spelman Genealogy, observes: the marriage of Aaron Spelman caused some odd
relationships. His first wife was Elizabeth Rose, sister to Justice Rose. At the death of Elizabeth, he married the widow of Justus, Deborah Barlow.

Thus Aaron and his second wife were, by marriage, at one the uncle and aunt, the step-father and mother, and the brother and sister-in-law of Stephen and his wife.
