What's the specific evidence for her parents? (Baptism, marriage, will) and then the records to grandparents? What study has been done?

They have it on Wikitree so far. Saying the parish register in England has her parents as Thomas Byrd and and Elizabeth but there's evidence that it's John Byrd most likely her father. So there could be two different Marrys being confused with each other actually looks like.

on 1 June 1686 John Bird of Baltimore County, planter, bought the tract “Richardson’s Prospect,” containing 100 acres, located on the south side of the southwest branch of Gunpowder River and adjacent to the tract “Arthur’s Choice,” from Thomas Richardson (Baltimore Co. Land Records, Liber RM#HS, f. 178). John Bird of Baltimore County died prior to 7 May 1691 when the inventory of his estate was taken, totaling £20.12.8 plus 1,200 pounds of tobacco (Maryland Prerogative Court Inventories and Accounts 13A:75). The administration account of his estate, filed by James Phillips, administrator, was passed in May 1694, and did not name his heirs (Maryland Prerogative Court Inventories and Accounts 12:134).".....excerpted, http://johnrosssr.com/Bosleyresearch.pdf
