Evidence needed to support Mary Farrar as a daughter of John Williams & Mary Williams

From D. Spencer Hines in soc.genealogy.medieval (https://groups.google.com/g/soc.genealogy.medieval/c/r9-WuRwohQ0/m/...):
"The recent thread concerning the Farrar ancestry of Neil Patrick Harris brings up the matter of Mary, wife of Col. William Farrar (d. ca 1677). Some years ago in discussing the matter with a Farrar cousin, he noted his theory that she was of the Baugh family (vs. Pigott and numerous other surnames found on the internet). I suggested that she might be a daughter (possibly the only issue) of Thomas Baugh, known to have emigrated from England on the Supply in 1620 (arrived 1621) and resident on the 'College land' in 1624; he was identified in the Visitation of Worcester pedigree of the Baughs of Twyning (Glouc.) as being "absent in Virginia, 1634" [1]. This possibility was evidently mentioned to other relations, and voila! "Mary Baugh" (sometimes "Mary Pigott Baugh") now appears in webpages from geni.com, wikitree and doubtless others. If any evidence has been found to date to support this theory, I'd be most interested in hearing of it."
