Biography
Catherine (or Jane ?) Mansell, or Mansel, daughter of Sir Francis Mansell, 1st Bt., of Muddlescombe, Carmarthenshire, by his 2nd wife Dorothy Stepney, she married Sir John Stepney, 1st Bt.
According to The Peerage.com, Geni.com and formerly Burke's Peerage it seems he was her maternal uncle. In 1662 the CoE Book of Common Prayer's Table of Kindred and Affinity listed such a marriage relationship as prohibited cosanguinity.
This issue is addressed in an 1885 'Red Dragon' article (See also Alban Stepney Bio)
"Allan Stepney, Esq., was succeeded by his son and heir, John Stepney, of Prendegast Esq. in the Co. Pembroke who was created a baronet 24th November1621, temp. James I. Sir John Stepney married Catherine, daughter of Sir Francis Mansel, of Muddlescwm, first bart., by his first wife Catherine and daughter and heiress to Henry Morgan, Esq., of that estate and place, and not as given under Mansel, by Dorothy Stepney, his second wife. (as in Burke's Peerage see extract below.)
