Although I originally thought Elizabeth was also "Sealy," an email from the author Elisabeth L. W. Salyer said:

A friend who is also a genealogist, saw your Howard information and forwarded it on to me. I seldom look at those things. We would like to inquire WHO gave you the following bit of MISINFORMATION.: ELIZABETH "SEALEY" HOWARD
My husband is a direct descendant of Stephen & Elizabeth and we have much documented information on Howards and Arnetts. Sealey is NOT a nic-name for Elizabeth.
