Failed to identify, but I think the sense of the entry is obscured. By 'her brother's lady', I feel he meant that the lady was regarded by Elizabeth's brother in a broadly chivalrous way, ie. the lady might have been loosely called 'his lady' if he were the one to introduce her or 'carry' her to the company. Best I can do.

L&M identify her with the following footnote: "I.e., Lady Kingston's brother's lady; Elizabeth, wife of Maurice Fenton."

On 23 October 1653 she married Sir Maurice Fenton, 1st Baronet (c. 1622–1664). From then on her married name became Fenton. They had a daughter Margaret and a son William. Margaret died in 1667 unmarried. William died in 1670.
In 1667 she married Sir William Petty (1623–1687). From then on her married name became Petty.
