  There was a marriage but earlier so someone may have jumped a generation whilst looking at the line...

  Dorcas Stephens  married Monks Risborough 28 Jan 1638.

Hi
Nothing definite for you but I am descended from Sylvester Dancer who married Ann Gower.  He was born Chesham 1659, christened in Tring 9 Jul 1659 and married Ann 29 Sept 1690.  The history I have for him is:

parents: John Dancer chr 16 Dec 1627 Tring, wife unknown.
grandparents: Michael Dancer chr 21 Feb 1601 Aston Clinton, mar Elisabeth Seare 12 Apr 1624
ggrandparents: Silvester Dannser or Daunser b c1570 Aston Clinton mar Elizabeth Hitchcock 4 Apr  1591
gggrandparents Henry Daunser d 1590 Aston Clinton mar Agnes unknown
ggggrandparents Thomas Daunser d. 1557 Aston Clinton

I think Silvester must be a family name so if it is in your branch I would say they converge at some point.  I have used Chesham regs/Bucks quarter sessions etc from Ancestry.com Buckinghamshire cd, IGI plus Hugh Wallis parish records to come to the above, unfortunately I don't have records at hand at the moment to quote which source for which person.  There are a lot of Dancers in the Chesham, Aston Clinton, Tring areas so that would be a direction for you to look at.

Regards
Steph
