Can anyone help me with sources for Sybill Prout's maiden name or parentage

Can anyone help me find primary sources to back up Sybill Prout's parentage? Her profile is using the Yale book, published in 1885, as their source for her parents (John Howell and Mary Bryant), but I'm not sure it can be trusted given that it was published 100+ years after she died. Apparently her father died only a year after her birth so I'm not sure if she would even be in his will (if he had one). I haven't been able to find her marriage record so I'm not even sure of her maiden name. Thank you for any help!
