Presumed to be one of the four daughters McCasland Wallace and Catherine Stuart. Mary's father McCasland Wallace was born on the ship bringing his Irish immigrant parents and older siblings to America in 1773, and named after the ship's captain, Captain McCasland. He lived in York County, SC. Mary's brother Alexander Stuart Wallace was a US congressman. The Wallaces were Presbyterian.
Research submitted at http://sites.rootsweb.com/~msquery/archive/query006.htm states that Mary Wallace marries Thomas M. Bratton 17 Apr 1783 and Thomas dies 17 Dec 1839, Mary dies 13 Nov 1845, with their children moving to Tippah Cty MS in the 1840s. Their children are Thomas Espey Bratton, Eliza Ann, Elijah P, James McCasland/McClellan, and Joseph McLorland. No source documentation is provided for Mary's marriage date or her husband's or her DODs in that online submission. So it is not clear whether Mary and her husband Thomas died in SC or in MS. Another daughter of McCasland Wallace and Catherine Stuart, Catherine Wallace Coombs, who would be Mary's sister, also settled with her husband and children in Tippah County MS by 1848. The Coombs and the orphaned children of Thomas and Mary are found on the 1850 Tippah County MS census, separate households. There is extensive research on the Coombs family and bios added to the Find-A-Grave memorials.
There are a few early census records consistent with this theory as to Mary's parents. Plus a DNA match between descendants of Catherine Wallace Coombs and Mary Wallace Bratton supports the conclusion that they were sisters, although not definitively. McCasland Wallace lived to 88 and left a will back in York Cty SC, but the will merely states that he has already distributed shares of his estate to his children and grandchildren as he intended, without listing any specific names. It names only his son Alexander, as executor and as recipient of anything remaining. The memorial is added to link Mary to her family, and in hopes that other descendants may provide additional evidence and research.
