  4.   As described in the cited TAG article, the list of marriages for Thomas Stearns and division of his children among his wives in such works as Source:Van Wagenen, Avis Stearns. Genealogy and Memoirs of Isaac Stearns and His Descendants, p. 51, and Samuel Smith's notes in Source:Littleton, Middlesex, Massachusetts, United States. Records of Littleton, Massachusetts., p. 476, bear no relation to reality. While none of the marriages were recorded in Littleton, they were all recorded, so it is hard to understand how such a total misunderstanding could arise.
