Is there documentation for the mother of this Sarah Frances (Burdette) Harrison?

Asking because Ancestry trees have her mother as Frances Ann Lake rather than Frances Ann Pindlebury:

Family Info

Father
Cuthbert William Burdette (1600–1643)

Mother
Francis Ann Lake (1600–1641)

Spouse
Colonel Burr Harrison (1637–1706)

I Googled and couldn't find much. Neither her Wiki page nor her Find-a-Grave page doesn't list her parents.

This site does list the Pendlebury (rather than Pindlebury) mother but gives no sources:

This site 'appears' to be the best-researched:

and it states:

THE STORY AS I KNOW IT

Sarah Frances Burdette was born in Feb. 1642 in Tower Hamlets, Stepney, of Middlesex England, re Geni. Her parents are given as Cuthbert Burdette and Frances Ann, last name unknown. Tower Hamlets is in the East End of London and in 1742 the community would have been grouped around St. Dunstans.

However, there is another Ancestry family tree that gives the same parents, but says they emigrated to Accomack Va Sept. 16, 1633. So Sarah Frances would have been born in America. And the Sameul family tree states that she was born Dec. 28, 1636 in MD or 1640 in VA. I think I would choose Va.

The DAR Lineage Book 1979 states that Burr Harrison (1636-1697) married 2nd Sarah Francis Burdette. It does not state when or where or the source for this information. An unknown source from the Peabody Library in Baltimore also stated that Burr Harrison of St. Margaret's Westminster London England, born 1636 married Frances Burdett. No mention there of it being a second marriage. The Peabody Library hold mainly English Genealogy books. The Geni source that named her parents state she was one of 3 wives.

As you notice, it doesn't give a maiden name for her mother but does confirm her as Frances Ann.

In general, I found most trees just don't list her parents at all, but among those who do I found no documentation for her mother's maiden name.

If someone has some info I'm missing or overlooked, please let me know.

Thanks in advance for any additional information.

Forgot to mention, I didn't find any documentation for her mother's maiden name being Lake, as showing in Ancestry trees either.
