There are baptism records for the children Samuel, Jabez, and Leah in England where the father's name is given as Nathanaelis Heaton (England Births and Christenings, 1538-1975, https://familysearch.org).

There was a Mary Heaton with the family on the ship record, presumably another child of theirs. There seems to be no other mention of her.

According to Anderson, Nathaniel Heaton's parents were William Heaton and Elizabeth (Sedgwick) Heaton. This is also shown in NEHGR 152:446-7. Both sources show different birth and death dates as well. Both articles show this same wife, though.
