The profile for Mary Roberts is sometimes linked in family trees as spouse of William Parker, sometimes assumed to be William Parker, of Scituate, Massachusetts. However that William has an identified wife and family supported by records. There is no source identified linking Mary Roberts to him.

Some family trees indicate 1750 in Chowan, North Carolina. The basis for this appears to be a will of William Parker dated 27 Dec 1750 in Chowan, North Carolina.[9] That will identifies his wife as Ann Parker, and refers to children Judith Duke (wife of Thomas Duke), Ann French, James, William, Thomas, Benjamin, John, and Mary Fryer. It is not clear why this would be the same William Parker as location and wife's name do not match.
