I found a book on Ancestry.com that transcribes:

EGBERT, Delency & DALE, Sally; bef. 21 Oct 1799; bride was a dau. of Jn. (& Lucy 
    ?) DALE of NFP, RC and a sis. of Reuben DALE; by Oct 1799 both Delency & 
    Sally (DALE) EGBERT and Reuben & Sally DALE were res. of Woodford Co., 
    Ky; (NC DC Ord Etc:363)

From this image of a section of page 124 of the book:

The Ancestry.com record reads:

Name:   Sally Dale
Marriage Date:  Abt 1799
Spouse Name:    Delency Egbert
Marriage Location:  Virginia, United States

Source info:

I am wondering what NFP, RC stands for? Also what does NC DC Ord Etc:363 refer to, I imaging page 363 of some book?

Abbreviations on pages 411–2 show:

DC — <no entry>
NC — Northumberland County
NFP — North Farnham Parish, Richmond Co
Ord — <no entry>
RC — Richmond County

Here is the table of contents for the book:

Going to the References p. 398–9 I found:

    If you attach an image of the record I can look at it further, but I don't have an ancestry world subscription. So I can't see the record.

  • I think it would add helpful context to the question. Is it just an ancestry transcription or a scan of the actual book?

  • Usually ancestry has an image number when viewing the record does it say anything like 363/504 etc?

    In most books, there is an explanation of abbreviations at the beginning or the end.

NFP, RC is a place abbreviation for North Farnham Parish, Richmond County, Virginia.

NC DC Ord Etc:363, I believe is a source or case citation. This is the Original Book the record came from. It's only available as a rare book now.
