Biography
Mary was born in 1796.
Her birth record in Princeton vital records lists her as “Polly”, b Sept 10, 1796.
Her marriage intention, marriage, and death records list her as “Mary.”
She was the daughter of Nehemiah Parker and Molly ?
Mary PARKER of Princeton married Bela Williams June 26, 1816.[1]
She passed away in 1878.
Mary (Parker) Williams, widow, of Barre, born Princeton, daughter of Nehemiah & Elizabeth [sic] Parker, died 20 Sep 1878 in Barre, age 82-0-10.[2]
Research Notes
Nehemiah and Molly may refer to Nehemiah Parker and Molly Johnson who married in Southboro April 15, 1787[3]. This couple have three children in Southboro in 1788, 1790 and 1792 and then have no further entries in town records. In 1794 a Nehemiah and Molly start having children in Princeton, 6 in total (2 un-named), through 1801. Molly died in 1803 (@37), Nehemiah re-married Anna Bragg in 1804. They have one child in Princeton, but there are no death records for them there.
Those clues lead me to check Find-a-Grave where I see: https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/191163017
She has a link to Nehemiah which shows that someone on FaG did some research - it would appear that these are indeed her parents. He died in 1850, which might put him just out of range of local town records - which ended that year.

Truly annoying to spend an hour researching her parents only to discover that I had already done so a year earlier.
