Ancestry.com trees on William Farthing [[Farthing-155]] marriage to Mary Dudley [[Dudley-1602]] states they were married in 1744 in Pike County, Illinois, but  that data can't be correct.  Pike County, Illinois didn't exist till 1821 and Illinois was founded in 1818.

They were living in Virginia before they moved to North Carolina, so the marriage probably occurred in one of those two colonies.
