Katherine Carter (Dale) - Was Her Mother Diana Skipwith?

I just read this on Wiki, which may explain the signature of Diana Skipwith vs. Diana Dale:

On the other side of this question is author, Douglas Richardson, who contends that "high born Englishwomen" often used their maiden names after marriage when signing legal documents.[3] Among his most compelling arguments is that Katharine (Dale) Carter, chose the names Edward (for her father), Diana (for her mother), and Henry Skipwith (for her mother's father) for three of her children.[3] That last child's name is difficult to explain unless Katharine was the daughter of Diana. Another piece of evidence is the Carter family prayer book which records only one marriage for Edward Dale, "early in life" to Diana Skipwith.[3] The phrase "early in life" would seem to imply he was married before the age of thirty, or before 1651. One would think that an earlier marriage would have also been recorded in the family record. In regards to the bequest to Mary Dale by Vincent Stanford, no claim of any kinship to Mary was made. It would have been customary to designate the relationship, and the fact that Stanford did not leaves doubt about that theory.[3] Seems the question is not entirely resolved and maybe never will. Nevertheless, Diana Skipwith is the generally accepted mother of Katharine, baring some proof otherwise.

and their conclusion was:

Diana Skipwith is the generally accepted mother of Katharine, baring some proof otherwise.

Yes and what he stated makes perfect sense. So, I'm leaving her attached as my ancestor in my Ancestry tree, as stated...'baring some proof otherwise'.

I'm so glad I came across that info from Richardson. The info for and against was so sketchy before reading that.

My line on Ancestry and Geni match at this point in time:
