Deborah Woodis Norton

I've been trying to document the line of Deborah Woodis Norton, I know that she was Isaac Norton and Deborah Norton's daughter, I even have a letter from a lawyer saying I am a descendant of them, but cannot find any proof at all that is acceptable to the Mayflower society, do you have any documentation for her and her parents, I am at a loss on this one.
