I haven't researched this family but have twigs of it in my database. I took a look for any clues I might have and propose John Jackson and Elizabeth Thompson of Derrylee as hypothetical parents for Mary.
They were the right age and location and had a son named Elijah which I don't think was common among other Wilson families in the area? That is not nearly enough evidence but you might find more if you explore this hypothesis.
Elizabeth Thompson Jackson died 23 Apr 1858 age 81 and her husband predeceased her. Known children:
Elizabeth - unknown dates, married John McVeigh in 1826. Daughter Elizabeth McVeigh was living at Derrylee when she married Robert Verner.
Robert - c. 1813 - 1 May 1869, stayed at Derrylee, married Martha Palmer at Clogher.
Elijah - c. 1822 - 22 Jul 1910, married Martha's sister Letitia and moved to the home Letitia inherited from her first husband near Fivemiletown but later died at Derrylee.
Family had strong Methodist links but records should also be at Milltown Church. Again, I haven't actually researched this family but have these twigs.
