Polly Adamson, age 36
A Polly, age 36, is in William's household in 1870, with no different surname; born about 1834, which is I believe too late to have been his sister. And she wasn't listed anywhere in 1850. In 1860, there was in Wilson Co, a Mary Adamson, age 22, living in the household of Samuel Hathaway, age 77, b. NC and Ruth Hathaway, 79, b. MD. Was Mary perhaps another child born to the first marriage of William - to Sarah Hathaway?
