Birth year calculated from age at death (27 years), constrained by parents' marriage date.

Born in Virginia or North Carolina, daughter of
Joshua P Farrington and Nancy Critz
[they were married on 27 Dec 1805
 in Critz, Patrick County, Virginia].

[Perhaps Mary's middle name is Critz, but no record is found.]

The family moved from Critz, Virginia, due south to Rockingham, Richmond County, North Carolina. Joshua Farrington's family is listed there in the 1810 Census, including 3 females under age 10. From there, the family moved due west to Franklin, Williamson County, Tennessee, about 1811. The family is listed there in the 1820 Census, with 2 females age 10 to 15, and 3 females and 2 males under age 10.

She was a member of the Methodist Church.

       (assuming death date is same as burial);
       1850 Census shows birth year 1826 and
       parents married in 1825, so Age was
       probably 25 rather than 28]

--

In the 1850 Census
of Brownsville, Haywood Gounty, Tennessee,
of Mary Farrington's 3 living children, Sarah (age 18) and William (age 24) lived with their father Robert R Peebles and his 3rd wife Ann E Lewis, along with William's 3 sons [grandsons of Robert R Peebles] Robert A (age 6), James (age 4) and Charles H Peebles (age 3), their mother (wife of William) Mary McWilliams apparently having died. A daughter of Ann E Lewis, Samuella Peebles, had died in 1849 (age 2), and apparently another daughter had also died (so it seems Ann had no living children in 1850).
Mary Farrington's other daughter Lucinda E Peebles Buck (age 21) and her family lived next door.

In the 1860 Census
of Brownsville, Haywood County, Tennessee,
William's 3 sons, Robert (age 16), James (age 14) and Charles (age 13), continued living with their grandfather Robert Peebles and Ann Lewis, who had two daughters since 1850, Ida (age 8) and Lelia (age 6).
