Jim Fina, to D.B. McLean (Tucson, Arizona), 16 Jan 03 , "Re: Katherine Arbuthnott, Jane Foys" referencing a TAG article. She's the half-sister to Henry Pierson, and to any historian who missed the fact that she and Henry had different fathers, might have assumed her name was Mary Pierson, whereas it was actually Mary Cooper. On the other hand, Howell did not know she was Henry's half-sister when he listed her as married to him! That made her Mary Pierson in his eyes, one he had already accounted for. But given his obvious mistake, he now had a Mary (Pierson nee Cooper) in Southampton at the right time.

It appears from deed records that Dan was not married in 1702, yet they were clearly married in 1707 & per deeds in April 1709 when they sold their LI land."
