This baptism appears to be the only one for a Mary Davill in the area in the time period. However, if Mary's age is correctly given in the marriage bond, the expected baptism would be in about 1726.

I am not very confident that these are the correct parents, since Mary's age at her marriage was given as 21. I am leaving their pages up here as I have not come across more plausible candidates.
