This is a common misconception.

TRUE-but you're also making the assumptionis that he both A.) Married their grandmother and B.) Knew about his children's existence. My theory is that the twin's dad originally went to confront Stanley, but he was so happy to see ANY family of his(as well as obviously showing he didn't know he was his son) that he lied and said he was Shermy's son.

Also Soos is the twin's cousin, when Dipper met all of them he didn't say "Stan's family AND Soos" he said "Stan's family". Soos has Pines blood in him, he just don't KNOW IT yet.
