DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Mary by comparing test results with other carriers of her mitochondrial DNA.
However, there are no known mtDNA test-takers in her direct maternal line.
It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Mary:
I'm going to remove my earlier commentary regarding the possible different Mary Parkers. Needless to say the possibility of confusing them is still there, but some of my earlier research appears to be out-of-date/likely incorrect now. Going to instead update the records and links that are relevant to this Mary Parker, since several of the source links were broken.
While there is a Mary Parker who died 7 January 1695/96 in Newbury, it was not this Mary.
It was possibly Nathan and Mary (Browne) Parker's second daughter Mary (b. 11 July 1678) who died on that date (the first, born 1 January 1676, dying 8 February 1676).
William Eliott leaves wife Mary all his estate and names her executor of his will 19 January 1721/22.
Browne-1794 and Browne-1767 appear to represent the same person because: Both of these profiles appear as the spouse on the same profile page Elliot-190. These obviously are the same person. Please merge.
Browne-1751 and Browne-1767 do not represent the same person because: A possible match, but not confident without more detail particularly on spouse. Let's keep the option open.
It was possibly Nathan and Mary (Browne) Parker's second daughter Mary (b. 11 July 1678) who died on that date (the first, born 1 January 1676, dying 8 February 1676).
William Eliott leaves wife Mary all his estate and names her executor of his will 19 January 1721/22.
ETA: Possibly the Mary Elliott whose estate was administered 1733 by her son Andrew. See https://www.americanancestors.org/DB515/i/13765/8769-co2/30159994
