Mary (Polly) (6-14), Thomas Durham (6-15), Susan (6-16), Sarah (6-17), Nancy (6-18) and John Patterson (6-19).

(6-19) in the 1860 census of Orange County. Her son, Thomas D. (6-15) inventoried her estate 22 May 1860. [S2] Fausett/McKee Family History, Robert Bruce Dunbar, Jr., 13 (Reliability: 3), 27 Nov 2012. This Mary was born 17 November 1796, the first child of Samuel Fausett (5-16) and Elizabeth Durham. On 12 September 1834 she married Allen Edwards, Jr. in Orange County, North Carolina. There were six children in the family in the 1850 census of Orange County: Hugh, born in 1815; John, born in 1820; Aron, born in 1824; Nancy A. (7-54), born in 1836; Samuel (7-55), born in 1840; and William (7-56), born in 1842. Only the last three can be attributed to Mary. The three older children must have been by a previous wife.
