If Joanna Gaye turns out to be incorrect, this is another possibility:

A possible clue as to wife's name. This is a transcript of the will of a Henry Patenden, dated 1549. The mentioning of his wife's children are particularly interesting and lead me to believe that Henry might have been the 2nd husband of Peter's wife:

Henry Pantenden of Gowdeherst in Kent, clothier, 21 July 1549, proved 21 Jan 1549.
To be buried in the churchyard of the same parish. Son Henry at twenty one. Daughters Anne and Joan at days of marriage. Katherine Mapisden, my wife's daughter, at day of marriage. George Mapisden, my wife's son. Edward Mapisden, my wife's son. All at their ages of twenty one years. "Susters" Alice and --- at time of their marriage. To Dorathe my wife two hundred pounds which Robert Whitfelde oweth me. Thomas Patenden my father. My mother. My brother John Patenden. My brother Thomas Patenden. My woods and timber standing and growing in the counties of Surrey and Sussex. My wife to be executrix and Peter Mapisden to be mine overseer.
