Usually attributed to Thomas and Dorcas Willis, but not supported by any evidence. Since Thomas and Dorcas apparently had 2 daughters named Mary born earlier than this, and Dorcas appears to have been close to if not past 50 when this Mary Willis was born, it seems unlikely she was their daughter. Also, the 1850 census record says that this Mary Willis was born in New York (although it could be an error).
