Will the real "Jane Austin" please stand up?

Alright fellow Janeites... Does it not bother the heck out of you when you see "Jane Austen" misspelled as "Jane Austin"?

I just did a search on Amazon for "Jane Austin" and submitted Online Catalog Update Forms to request title changes for all of the (20-some-odd) entries that were obviously supposed to say Austen not Austin. Call me crazy, but after seeing it in the descriptions of about half of Stephanie Barron's wonderful Jane Austen Mysteries, I had had enough.

Now, I have heard that there really was a 19th-century author named "Jane Austin", which may obviously cause some confusion... In the course of trying to validate said author's existence, I found these:

A Biography of Texan Calamity Jane Austin and List of Works including Northanger Abilene, Winchester Park, and Edda, etc.

Turns out it's all part of the elaborate The Calamity Jane Austin Hoax, which was conceived via usenet as a "commentary on scholarship that combines illiteracy with a naive trust in the resources of the web." Basically, it's a trap for lazy students.

However, even the hoax explanation page explains that "there was a real Jane Austin who wrote a number of novels in the nineteenth century," and admits that her works are hard to find. Does anybody know of a valid resource to learn more about her? Wikipedia and Amazon have failed me...

UPDATE: Jane Goodwin Austin was born Jane Goodwin in Worcester, Massachusetts, in 1831. She was educated in Boston, and in 1850, she married Loring H. Austin of Cambridge. Many of Austin's novels are historical in nature, dealing with the Pilgrims and their descendants, such as Standish of Standish . Other novels include Cipher and The Shadow of Moloch Mountain. (from the UVA library)

Her publications include "Fairy Dreams" (Boston, 1859)" " Dora Darling' (1864) ; "Outpost" (1866); " Cipher" (New York. 1869) ; "The Shadow of Moloch Mountain" (1870) : " Moonfolk" (1874); " Mrs. Beauchamp Brown " (Boston, 1880); "A Nameless Nobleman " (1881) ; "The Desmond Hundred" (1882)" and "Nantucket Scraps" (1883).

According to one source, "Jane was the author of 24 books that ranged from children's books to historical romances. The books were popular in her era. Standish of Standish went through at least 28 editions and was made into a play in 1919. Jane was friends of nineteenth century literary persona such as Nathaniel Hawthorne, Ralph Waldo Emerson and Louisa May Alcott and related to celebrated historians and politicians."
