Hi Rod I'd say that it slipped in "accidentally" through misinformation at some stage - some great-auntie got it mixed up on her hand-written tree and that ended up being passed around until it became "fact". Alternatively, it was not unknown in those days for a woman who remarried to be referred to in certain circles or at certain times by both of her married names IF she had children by her first marriage, which she did. Even her gravestone records her first husband's name rather than her second husband!
