About Mary French
Excellent discussion of the issues with the parents of Mary French, possibly née Button:
https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Unknown-681059#Research_Notes
The crux of the issue is that she has been supposed to be the daughter of John Button and Grace Unknown. I have detached Mary French from these parents. The Great Migration Begins says that John Button had no descendants. This needs to be further researched, given that there are several sources for her being Mary Button (see above link).
