Looking for a connection to Polly (Mary) Paris.

My Great-Great Grandmother was Polly (Mary) Paris. She married William Agee, probably in Tennessee.

I have recently learned that the Surname Paris is identified by the Catholic Church as Sephardic (Jewish). Also, that there may have been Melungeons with the Paris Surname.

William Agee is a descendant of Mathieu Agee who was awarded a land grant west of Richmond, Virginia in 1690. Mathieu Agee was a Huguenot, having been born in Nantes, France in 1670. At age 18 he moved to Holland, then to England. He fought to remove the Catholic King James.

I have no other information about my Paris line. Any information would be appreciated.
