Writing for the Holland Society of New York, Virginie Adane notes that, in addition to the presence of the 1648 record that gives Penelope's surname as Prince, "the name 'Vanprincis' seems highly doubtful, according to Dutch naming practices--indeed 'van; is usually adjoined to a toponym" or place name. See "The Penelope Stout Story: Evolution of a New Netherland Narrative," 2009, HAL Open Access Archive, p. 8.
Arthur G. Adams relies on the Hart-Edwards account for his brief retelling of Penelope's story in his 1980 The Hudson, a Guidebook to the River (State University Press of NY). He thus wrongly claims Penelope emigrated to New Netherland in 1620, four years before the colony's founding (p 31).
William Stockton Hornor interviewed Therese Seabrook for his 1932 This Old Monmouth of Ours, p 146-48. His account generally follows Smith's.
See discussion below of Clemens' undocumented and apparently fictitious claim that Penelope "Kent or Lent," widow of "Von Printzen," married Richard Stout in Gravesend more than a decade before the settlement was founded (American Marriages Before 1699, p. 134).
