What's the specific evidence for her parents? (Baptism, marriage, will) and then the records to grandparents? What study has been done?

They have it on Wikitree so far. Saying the parish register in England has her parents as Thomas Byrd and and Elizabeth but there's evidence that it's John Byrd most likely her father. So there could be two different Marrys being confused with each other actually looks like.

I'm thinking two Marys got merged into one one is daughter of Thomas other daughter of John but I'm actually lost and confused on this one.
