I'm sorry you found so much wrong with the story of Penelope. The name of her first husband was 1st name, Kent last name, van Princes. There is also a record of the marriage of Richard & Penelope in "American Marriage Records before 1699" by William Montgomery Clemens PG 205. Richard Stout & Penelope marriage date & Location. There have been many references to Penelope's name being Thomson. Her education was received in Amsterdam, Holland not New Amsterdam the New Would. The story of Penelope had very little in the way of conversation. From the time of her wounding by the Indians the information came from a Journal kept by Penelope, after her escape from the Indians, and later continued by her family. I hope this clears up some of your questions. Barbara [email protected]
