About Mary Tryon

Her family of origin is speculative, and is debunked in the following: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Tryon-5 See details in comments for record of her husband, William Tryon.

The Tryon Family in America, pp 20-22

"strong circumstantial evidence" that William Tryon's wife was Mary Steele:

William named his two oldest sons in America Joseph and David, and James Steele and Sarah (Steele) Boardman also named sons Joseph and David, although neither of these were Steele or Boardman names. And later, Ziba, son of William, named his eldest son James, which was not a Tryon name. And when William died in 1711 in his 66th year, administration of his estate was granted to James Steele, son of Samuel, "by request of the children of William Tryon," thus indicating that he was a near relative.
