William B. White, Jr., in his masterful "Genealogy of Two Early Patton Families of York, Chester, and Lancaster Counties, South Carolina" (privately published), states on p. 2 "Mary Patton. Born c.1727. Died 1808. Married c.1750-53 to Col. William Hagins, outstanding Revolutionary War officer.Born in Ireland in 1727. Died in 1790..." He then lists their issue. He references "Brent H. Holcomb (comp. and ed.) 'Anson County, North Carolina, Wills and Estates, 1749-1795,' p. 12," for proof of her parents, Matthew and Elizabeth Patton. I don't have that book of Brent's at hand, but assume the estate papers of Matthew Patton (d. 1754) must have listed Mary and Col. Hagins.(Present York County, SC, was then Anson County, NC.) If you need more, such as her siblings, etc., please contact me.
