The ancestry of this Mary Oliver, who married George Drake, is unknown. A careful search of online sources found no evidence of her ancestry. The "usual suspect" for finding real information, which can be followed up, are the Rootsweb mailing lists around 1998-2001. These contain copious pointers to real, definitive, sources.

From marriage records we know that George Drake married Mary Oliver, daughter of William (Oliver) and Mary in Piscataway on Nov. 13, 1677.

That is all that I have been able to find. No one lists a source for the last name or parents of Mary, wife of William, nor any information on older generations. There is no contemporary data from the purported ancestors William Oliver and Mary Ackerly that connect them to her.
Birth
Unknown. Some online trees with no sources say 20 JUN 1657 Stamford, Fairfield Co., CT, others say Abt 1658 Elizabeth, Union Co., New Jersey but none have any evidence.
