Comments on Family Search quoted this Mary Smiths parents could be related to Hopkins lineage of the Mayflower but I added what I researched ten years ago, I contacted the genealogist who has what he called the big book and researched my Mary Smith , he said no lineage incorrect

According to the Akers Register Report on page 5: On 24 Nov. 1753 When Thomas was 21, he married Mary Smith, 21797, F in VA. born in -1735 in PA.

1. Mary Smith: A possibility for Mary's father is Edmond Smith-he appears to have had dealings with Simon Aker's neighbors and had a daughter named Mary. He is the son of Colonel Lawrence Smith whose father immigrated directly from England to Virginia in the mid 17th century.

Please review profile research notes. Looks like parent discrepancy and needs to be replaced with correct parents. No sources located only trees and IGI info.
