Identity of James Tarpley's wife Mary

Some researchers have identified James Tarpley's wife as "Mary Camp", but this appears to be in error. John Oldham, in his will, specifically names his daughter, "Mary Tarpley", and an article entitled "Who Was the Wife of James Tarpley of Richmond and Brunswick Counties,Virginia?" by Margaret T. MacDonald, published in "Virginia Genealogist", Vol.37, No. 1, Jan-Mar 1993, concludes that James Tarpley married Mary Oldham, and not Mary Camp, nor does there appear to be any sources to support a marriage to the latter. In addition, a son of James and Mary Oldham Tarpley was named "John Oldham Tarpley", which also supports James Tarpley's marriage to Mary Oldham.
