Name Nicholas ROSSE Relationship 
with Teresa Ann GOATHAM Born Bef 1529 - His father can have died no later than 1529
Gender Male Residence Shepton Beauchamp, Somerset, England 
- Shown as having been his residence in the 1623 Somerset visitation (information provided by his grandson James), and also described as 'Nicholas Rose late of Shepton beachm in the Countie of Somerset' in his mother's will.
Died Between 1558 and 1575 - Between his step-father writing his will and his mother writing hers.
There is a reference to 'Nicholas Rose' in the will of his half-sister Mary's husband, Robert Morgan; I guess it was to this Nicholas and if so indicates he was still living in 1567.

Father John ROSSE, d. Between 1520 and 1529 Mother Mistress Agnes HERON, b. Est 1500, d. Between 8 Feb 1574/75 and 30 Apr 1575 (Age ~ 75 years)
Other Partners: John WOGAN, Esq. [parents?] m. Between 1520 and 1529Married - In the will of Agnes' last husband John Wogan he makes a bequest to his 'sonne in lawe' Nicholas Rose and then another 'unto his [Nicholas'] brother Cuthebert Rose'. Son-in-law could mean step-son, and I think this meaning is the most likely one in this case, because:
1. It would be unusual to make a bequest to a daughter's husband's brother
2. The gown bequeather to Cuthebert was to be 'at his mothers rewarde'. It seems unlikely that he would specify that his daughter's husband's mother should make the choice, far more likely that it was his (John's) wife, who he named as sole executrix, who was to choose.
Hence I think that Agnes had 'Rose' sons (other documents suggest the name was more commonly spelt Rosse), and so had presumably been married to a Rosse before she married John Wogan.
By the time Agnes wrote her will Nicholas had died, and although she made her daughter Mary her executrix and residual legatee, it sounds as though nearly everything was to go to 'John Rose son of Nicholas Rose'; unfortunately no relationships are specified.
Looking at the 1623 visitations of Somerset, a Rosse pedigree supports this theory, in that Nicholas Rosse of Shepton Beauchamp (and I think there can be little doubt it is the one mentioned in the wills of John and Agnes Wogan) is shown as having married an Elizabeth Dawbney, with John as their son, not the son of a mother whose maiden name was Wogan.
Although Nicholas' father is named, his mother is not; I assume that James, her great grandson did not know it.
Nicholas' father is shown as Cuthbert, but in a Chancery Court case the husbands of the daughters of John Herton are named; these include a 'John Roos'. I think it more likely that this Chancery document is correct. Nicholas may well be correct in naming an ancestor Cuthbert, often errors in pedigrees are with the generation. It is quite likely that Cuthbert was Agnes' father in law.
