PREPATORY NOTE

The following Family Record is the result of several years work in my spare time

gathering facts, sometimes tiresome, often tedious. and expensive. The first of

the record deals with early English records sent me by reputable genealogists of

London. About these. there is no question. Public records in various Court

Houses of Virginia and North Carolina have been carefully abstracted and various

private family records copied verbatim by and for me. To all those who have

kindly assisted me, (too numerous to mention), I acknowledge myself greatly

indebted. The original records in my files and scrap books can be seen at any

time by any one interested. No one could expect a record of this kind to be

complete in every respect. If the work here shown shall serve to stimulate

interest in family history and' create a modest pride in the worthy achievements

of ancestors, I shall Peel amply rewarded and that I have been of some little

service to my people.

July 1, 1930. ALBERT TIMOTHY OUTLAW

A Note On The Supplement

Several years ago there was some thought and effort concerning consolidation of

the JOHN GRADY and OUTLAW GENEALOGY books, and bringing them up to date.

Questionaires were sent out requesting information-how many I do not know. Some

of them were returned to the late Malcom Grady who was deeply interested in the

project. He gave them to me last year and I have received some help from them,

but the number returned was disappointing. It appeared there were not enough

sent out or the interest in returning them was not sufficient to keep the

project going. Then Ben Grady and Albert Outlaw, authors. respectively, of the

two books died. I do not know how interested either of them were in the

consolidation proposal, if at all. If they had combined their great talents in

the beginning, and had produced one volume on the two families then, it probably

would have been well accepted; but at this distance it would appear that when

they were authoring their separate books, they wanted it that way. The matter

was brought up again at the 1969 Grady-Outlaw meeting but nothing developed.

For several months prior to the 1969 meeting, it crossed my mind a few times

that I might be of some small service to our people in getting out new editions

of the two books or a consolidation and, in either case, bring them up to date.

I discussed it with Mrs. Albert T. (Carolyn) Outlaw who, of course, owns the

copyright to her late husband's OUTLAW GENEALOGY book and she, too, thought the

time was right for a new edition or a consolidation of the two. I had hoped that

her son, Albert T. Outlaw, Jr., or her daughter, Sarah West Johnson, might take

the leading roll, but site said that neither of them had the time, arid

requested me to go ahead with it. She gave me a free hand to make decisions and

proceed as I thought best, but I have discussed many of the questions arid

problems with her as the work has progressed, and we have agreed on all points.

From the beginning of my efforts until well toward the half-way markof gathering

information, I kept in abeyance the proposed consolidation of the two books so

that, should it materialize in the meantime, tile information gathered could and

would be available. In the absence of that I thought progressingly of a separate

publication for the Outlaw side of the family. hoping that in the near future

someone would decide to do a similar work for the Grady side of the family.

In the very beginning of my study it appeared that both previous authors

accentuated and sought mainly to preserve the names GRADY and OUTLAW in that

they did not in many instances bring forward names of descendants of their

female kin past the first generation. This posed a problem: Should I continue

that policy or go back and bring up these family lines?. The latter was decided

upon, and our readers will see many names other than Gradys and Outlaws, but

names of persons with no less Grady and Outlaw blood - Whitfields, Summerlins,

Kornegays, Alphins, and many more.

Edward Outlaw, first in America to marry and rear a family here, had four

children: Edward, Ralph, Sarah and Elizabeth; and the first edition brought

forward mainly the Edward Outlaw line which included most of the Duplin County,

North Carolina Outlaws. The author did not list Ralph Outlaw's seven children

under his name (Sec. 12)-, he did, however, give them in subsequent sections but

failed to specify their parentage with his usual parenthetical numbers. Mr.

Richard Hinkle of Blooming Grove, Texas, a lineal descendent, (Sec. 1009) sent

me a list of these seven sons and I have supplemented section 12 with them. Most

of the Outlaws of Bertie County, N.C. and surrounding area are descendents of

Ralph. Descendents for the most part of the two daughters of Edward Outlaw,

first, Sarah and Elizabeth, remained for many years inVirginia but, like others,

are now scattered in many states. Volume XVI, HISTORICAL SOUTHERN FAMILIES,

authored by Richard Clark Holtzclaw, (See. 1116) a lineal descendent of Edward,

Second; edited and copyrighted by Mrs. John Bennett Boddie, contains much

valuable information on these families and the families into which they married;

and I urge my readers to purchase it. The price is S9.50. Mr. Holtzclaw has been

retired since 1965 after 46 years of college teaching. 36 of which he was

Professor of Philosophy and Dean of the Graduate School at the University of

Richmond. He lives at I I Ampthill Road. Richmond, Va. Mrs. Boddie's address is

Honolulu, Hawaii, Box 2775. I am indeed grateful for hers and Mr. Holtzclaw's

permission to use information from the book for Outlaw Genealogy.

So, if one should think of this supplement beginning squarely with the year 1930

when the first edition was printed, he would be mistaken - it runs throughout

the first edition. Making it and the supplement a tightly, interwoven single

volume. Any recorded date after 1930 or any section number after 120 no matter

where it is found may be considered a part of the supplement. In many instances

I have initialed supplemental information. The first edition concluded with page

72, but enough new information has been inserted throughout that edition that

page 72 now becomes page 82: and from there on the information is all new and

supplemental.

An index has been added covering the entire volume. That coupled with the

section number system, which Albert worked out, makes it easy for one to trace

his ancestry and any other relatives both dead and alive.

The numbers given in front of capitalized family names are called Section

Numbers, and these numbered family names. Together with their spouses, plus the

names of hundreds of non-family persons, are listed in the index. The numbers in

parenthesis following these capitalized family names are also Section Numbers,

which show how far back we were able to trace that person's ancestors.

Generation by generation each number representing a generation. Names of persons

appearing after Roman numerals who have recorded descendants are followed by

section numbers which are used to find factual information about them and their

descendants up to the present time, or as late as we were able to obtain them.

The work of preparing this supplement has brought me in personal contact with

many people. many of whom. I had never seen before but the work has been mostly,

by correspondence. In both cases it has been a pleasure, except that I have felt

at times I was overburdening and even pestering a few. Many people have helped

exceedingly, and others in lowering degrees, as I have called upon them. I am

deeply grateful to all of you, and hope you will re-read my brothers PREPATORY

NOTE. above. The sentiments there expressed are also mine, and are much better

expressed than I could ever do.

December 31, 1971 ABNER HENRY OUTLAW

OUTLAW

Varied Spellings

In England (County Bedford) the earliest spelling we know was Utlawe. From then

until, finally Outlaw, it was spelled Utlagh, Otlawe, Owtlawe, Outlawe,

Outlayer, Ottlaw, Outtlaws, and Outelawe. So, the first emigrants to America

were Outlaws; and here in America we know of three other spellings: Outland,

Outlar, and Outler (although the Outland spelling first appeared in the 1850

U.S. Census for Stewart County, Tennessee; and the 1860 Census they had returned

to the Outlaw spelling, Sec. 37(7).

The Outlar spelling is accounted for in Sections 120 and 245.

The Outler spelling is first seen in the Will of Ralph Outlaw, Sr. (Sec. 12),

recently discovered in' the Department of Archives and History, Raleigh, N.C.

(Chowan Wills 1694-1808, Vol. III No. 24, 801.3, pg. 104. He signed it Ralph

Outler and all his sons were called Outler in it. However, in all the other

records he and his sons are called by their proper sumames-Outlaw-HSF, Vol. XVI,

pg. 11. No other Outler spelling has been discovered until Bently Outlaw and his

family adopted it. He was born in South Carolina in 1808, married in Georgia and

raised a family of eleven children there, Sec. 1167. Then it appears Rufas

Outlaw and his family, Sec. 986, followed their cousins the Bently Outlaws in

the Outler spelling. As far as we know these two families and their descendants

to this day spell and pronounce it Outler. This pronunciation probably started

as a colloquialism and became so prevalent they began spelling it as they

pronounced it-Outler. When I was a child in Eastern North Carolina many Outlaws

and their neighbors pronounced it Outler (and some do to this day), but continue

to use the Outlaw spelling.

This evolution of spelling and pronouncing intrigues me. As far back as we know,

1273, except for the few deviations above mentioned, the last syllable has been

"lawe" and "law". The "e" was probably dropped for the sake of brevity; or the

name had been spelled so many ways, some of which were so much like "outlaw",

the people began spelling it that way as a practical joke.

While it is possible as indicated in Sec. 1, below, the name could have been

assumed by some deprived of the right of pleading in a Court of Justice or even

excommunicated from an Ecclesiastical Court, no real evidence has turned up to

prove it; much less, even if it were true, to prove that such deprivation or

excommunication resulted from acts involving moral turpitude. Utlawe, the

earliest name we know, offers little or no indication that Richard Utlawe or any

of his ancestors were real ..outlaws." (AHO)

1. RICHARD UTLAWE, of County Bedford, ENGLAND. A reference to him in Hundred

Rolls, year 1273, is the earliest record found of the family name. The name was

probably assumed by some one who had been outlawed, deprived of the right of

pleading in a Court of Justice, or excommunicated by an Ecclesiastical Court.

Any dispute with the Crown led to a batch of outlaws, any of whom might adopt

the name. In the London Daily Telegraph of September 2, 1896, it is stated that

the name was assumed by descendants of King Edgar Atheling, son of Edward the

Outlaw, which is only a news paragraph and may not be substantiated by records.

It has often been asserted that the Outlaw name came from MacGregor, of the

famous Scottish Clan, during the period of their Proscription, which is without

foundation, as the Acts of Parliament proscribing the MacGregor name were many

years after the time of several Outlaw family names shown in this record. (ATO)

The paragraph in London Daily Telegraph of Wednesday, September 2. 1896, page 5,

column 2, as sent by E. Anderson of Newspaper Department, British Museum,

London, is as follows:

"An Ancient Line. It is pleasant to learn that our correspondent was misinformed

when he stated that Mr. George Outlaw, who recently died in South Australia, was

the last male descendant of King Edgar Atheling, whose political vicissitudes

led to the assumption by his posterity of this significant cognomen. Letters

from Limpsfield, Berkhamstead, Kingston-on-Thames, and elsewhere, testify to the

fact that there are still living many Outlaws, some of them doubtless unaware of

the blue blood coursing through their veins, and that there is little likelihood

of the Royal line becoming extinct for many generations to come."

In a Dictionary of National Biography, Vol. 6, p. 371-3, appears the following:

"Edgar Atheling, son of Edward the Exile (or Outlaw) was probably born in

Hungary before 1057 when his father came to England on the invitation of Edward

the Confessor but died without seeing the King. He was surviving son of Edmund

Ironside, son of Ethelred the Unready."

In letters written by Bower Marsh experienced Record Searcher and Genealogist,

of London, he says:

"The earliest record I find is a reference to Richard Utlawe, County Bedford,

1273 (taken from the Hundred Rolls). AS regards the origin of the name it is

without doubt applied to the descendants of some one who was 'outlawed' - i. e.

deprived of the right of pleading in a Court of Justice (this may apply also to

a sentence of excommunication by an Ecclesiastical Court). Any dispute with the

Crown led to a batch of outlaws, any of whom might adopt the name. I do not

think we can possibly regard Edward the Outlaw as the ancestor, as family names

did not come in use till more than 100 years after his death, and I do not think

there is any reason at all to suppose the Outlaw family took their name from

him."

In letters written by George Sherwood, experienced Record Searcher, and

Genealogist, and author of a number of publications, of London, he says:

"The paragraph in London Daily Telegraph of September 2, 1896 is only a news

item, and descent from King Edgar Atheling probably only a legend. I have

several references to law proceedings back to about 1456-80."

In a small book, "Scottish Clans and their Tartans", printed in Scotland, by W.

& A. K. Johnson, it is shown that the Acts proscribing the MacGregor name were

just after the battle in Glenfruin, 1603, in which the brave MacGregors won. The

Colquhouns of Luss had been induced to execute a commission of "fire and sword"

issued by King James VI, against the dreaded clan, and lost. Several Acts were

passed, 1603, 1613, 1617, etc., requiring the MacGregors, under most severe

penalties, to abandon their name and assume other names. It was during that

period they assumed various other names, and it is clearly shown in the fan-Lily

record that OUTLAW was an English family name long prior to that time. In a

letter written by John MacGregor, of Clan Gregor Society, in Scotland, he says:

"For a number of years I have been collecting the various names under which the

MacGregors passed during the period of their proscription but I never came

across any of them designed 'Outlaw'. The name appears to be a very unusual one

and more likely to be of English origin than Scottish."

2. ROGER OUTLAWE, was made Lord Chancellor (Edward II) in the year 1326 and

served as Lord Justice of Ireland at times until the year 1340. (Haydon).

3. Sir ADAM OUTLAWE, of West Lenn (Lynn), St. Peters, priest, died 1501, leaving

a Will, by which he bequeathed his chantry, lands and tenements thereto

belonging, to Thomas Tyard, and after his decease to remain to the Chantry of

"Our Lady" in the Church at St. Peters, the priest of it to pray for the good

state of the aldermen, brethren, etc., and for the souls of the same, namely:

Thomas of Acre and Muriel, his wife, and for the benefactors, namely: Robert

Malle and Agnes his wife, and for his (Outlaw's) own soul, the second Sunday of

Lent. To the parish clerk he gave three acres of land in North Lynn and to the

bellman of the town he gave the tenement called Bunchesham, at Cowgate, and an

acre called Vestyll's Acre, that he pray for the souls mentioned. Thomas of Acre

and Muriel his wife, were the founders of this chantry, and he died, as it

seems, patron of it, and left the patronage in the gift of the parishioners, the

rector or curate not to be feoffee of it. He served it as chantry priest. Sir

Adam Outlawe, priest, is buried in the church. (Blomefield's History of

Norfolk). 4. THOMAS OUTLAWE, of Wichingham, Count), NORFOLK, son of Ralph

Outlawe, was granted Arms and Crest (by Camden) in June, 1613, as follows:

ARMS Argent a saltire gules between four wolves' heads couped proper. A

demi-wolf proper wounded in the shoulder by an

CREST arrow or head and feathers argent embrued gules. (British Museum-Stowe).

Ancient Translations

ARMS Silver: a red saltire between four wolve's heads severed and in natural

color.

CREST One half a wolf couped proper pierced through the side with a gold arrow,

feathered and headed in silver. the arrow lying bent to the right.

The Visitation of Norfolk for 1613 includes Ralph Outlawe of Little Wichingham,

(son of-Thomas) and Amye his wife, daughter and heir of John Bevis of Little

Wichingham, and their children as follows: (1) Thomas Outlawe (to whom was

Olive, his second wife, and their children as follows: John. Catherine, Joane

and Cecilly. (Harleian Society-Vol. 32).

5., RALPH OUTLAWE, of Tuttington, County Norfolk, and Elizabeth, his wife,

living in 1657, and their children as follows:

(1) Edward Outlawe, mercer of Norwich, who by his Will in 1657 mentioned his

parents and brothers and sisters and the poor Little Wichingham; (2) Thomas

names of Robert King of Brandeston, William Simpson of Little Wichingham,

Nicholas Moore, John Moore, Lionel Girlinge, Edward Andrew, Edward Baker, Joseph

Hoogan, and others. (Abstract of Wills-Bragg in Register Woolten).

6. WICHINGHAM Parish-Cleyhall. In 1477-8, John Berney, Esquire, of Wichingham,

died seized of this manor. John Berney was Lord in the reign of Henry VIII (1509

etc.) and left it to his son John. In 1562, Martyn Berney, Esquire, son of

Robert, held his first court as Lord of Cleyhall, Robert, his father, having

died possessed of it. In 1598, Martyn Berney and Margaret, his wife, Christopher

Grimston of Grey's Inn, and Elizabeth, his wife, daughter of Martyn Berney,

conveyed it by fine to William Collins who conveyed it also the same year. It

then passed to the OUTLAWS. Thomas Outlawe was living in 1620 and by Mary, his

wife, daughter of Cory, was the father of Ralph Outlawe, who married (1st.)

Elizabeth Kemp, sister of Sir Robert Kemp, of Spain's Hall, by whom he had a son

Thomas, and married (2nd.) Sarah Hunt, daughter of William Hunt, Esquire, of

Hilderston (son of Sir Thomas Hunt), by whom he had a son Ralph who married

(1st.) Wisula Brown, daughter of Richard Brown of Fulmerston; and married (2nd.)

Elizabeth Adams, daughter of Robert Adams of Norwich. He died about 1670 leaving

part of his estate to Brown, of Saxthorp, and part to Elizabeth, his wife, who

as a widow, held her first court in March 1670. She afterwards married Gyles

Cutting, an Attorney. (Blomefield's History of Norfolk).

In memory of Thomas Hunt, rector about 1610.

On a slab at West end bearing family arms appears the following:

"Hereunder resteth ye body of Ralph Outlawe, Rector of Bintry, who

Was the son of Ralph Outlawe of Little Wichingham in the County of

Norfolk. He departed this life ye first day of February 1688, aged 68

years. Reader, pray stay, death's trophies view and see, in them what

thou, thyself, ere long must be." (Church Heraldry of Norfolk -Farrer).

(The foregoing eight sections are of prominent and influential persons who lived

over a period of 432 years, from Richard Utlawe in 1273 to Samuel Outlawe in

1705; but the first edition author made no claim of them being a successive

blood line. Neither did he attempt to prove Capt. John Outlaw and his young

brother Edward, first known American emigrants, Sections 9 and 10, to be lineal

descendants of any of them. His London researchers were apparently unable to

find Capt. John's and Edward's parentage or other ancesters. Therefore, I have

not pursued any further research on the subject for this supplement.

However, Mr. Benjamin Clark Holtzclaw (my' seventh cousin) of Richmond, Va., has

discovered some probabilities which he gives on pages 150-154, HSF, Vol. XVI

which, with sections 4-8 1 summarize below. The first, and perhaps the most

prime suspect, begins with the line of Thomas Outlaw, and I can best summarize

his line by setting it up in sections fashioned after the family sections in

this volume:

1. THOMAS OUTLAW, born ca. 1520, County Norfolk. One son, Ralph, Sec. 11.

11. RALPH OUTLAW, (1) born Ca. 1545, Little Wichingham,

County Norfolk. Married Amye Bevis. Children: (1) Thomas,

Sec. 111; (2) Amye; (3) Margaret; (4) Mary; (5) Ralph; (6)

Simon.

111. THOMAS OUTLAW, (11-1) born ca. 1570; died at Little Wich

ingham, July 3, 1633. Married Margaret (Outlaw Genealogy

gives her name as Mary), daughter of Francis Cory. He came to

the Lordship of the Manor of Cleyhall (Wichingham Parish) ca.

159-8. Was granted Arms and Crest in June 1613 Children: (1)

Ralph, Sec. IV; (2) Anne; (3) Elizabeth.

IV. RALPH OUTLAW, (111414) born ca. 1595. Married Elizabeth

Kempe ca. 1615-16. He died July 4, 1671. Children: (1)

Thomas; (2) Rev. Ralph Outlaw; (3) Elizabeth; (4) Mary; (5)

Robert, Sec. V; (6) Charles; (7) Edward

V. ROBERT OUTLAW, (IV-III-II-I) our prime suspect as being a father of Capt.

John and Edward. There is a slab to him in Ringland Parish, but nothing further

is known of him. Notwithstanding, there are three reasons to suspect him as our

English ancester: (1) He was in the same area from whence came Capt. John and

Edward. (2) He was within the age bracket. (3) Successive family names are a

prime factor. His father, grandfather, uncle and brother were named Ralph and

another brother was named Edward . The theory is that he named his son (our

emigrant) Edward after his brother by that name who when he grew up and was

married in America (he was very young, in his early teens. when he came) he

named his first son Edward and his second son Ralph. After Edward, Second, there

were three or four more Edwards in successive generations. Ralph named his son

Ralph. And to this day the two names, especially Edward, are very popular with

us.

Then Mr. Holtzclaw elaborates on the bare probability of Capt. John and Edward

being in the line of either East Dereham, Elsing or Isle of Ely, County Norfolk.

But, as he says we cannot be sure of any of them.

As far as we know Capt. John and Edward were our first emigrants.

In a History of Tennessee and Tennesseans, Vol. 111, Pg. 754, by Will T. Hale

and Dixon L. Merritt, published in 1913 by Lewis Publishing Co., Chicago and New

York, is this statement: "The founder of the American family, Alexander Outlaw,

came to this country and settled in 1635." This being true, he may have been a

few years ahead of Capt. John and Edward. But it is in error because in the next

paragraph they say: "A descendant of this North Carolina family was Alexander

Outlaw, born there in 1738. In 1783 he settled in that part of G reene County

which is now Jefferson County, Tennessee." This Alexander Outlaw we know about

(Sec. 39), a great grandson of Edward the emigrant, Sec. 10, and there is no

evidence whatsoever that he was i the line of the above alleged founder of the

family in America. Mr. Perry Outlaw, Principal of the Ben-C. Rain High School,

Mobile, Ala. who has done considerable research on the Outlaws, and whose

ancestry went from Eastern North Carolina to Tennessee, thence to Alabama, was

in Montgomery, Stewart and Houston counties, Tennessee this summer (1971) doing

research, found the book and sent me the above quotations but, like me, put

little credence to it. In the course of his work there he found something in a

lighter vein:

In A Lighter Vein

He writes that in Danville, Tennessee, Houston County, there used to be a place

of business named after three men who owned it: OUTLAW, GAMBLE and STEAL - AHO).

9. Captain JOHN OUTLAW, of the Western branch of Elizabeth River in Lower

Norfolk County, VIRGINIA, was living there in the year 1669 as shown by

appointment of Thomas Gilbert as his lawful Attorney to appear in two suits

against William Onale, the acts of said Attorney to stand in as full force as if

he (Outlaw) were personally present. Said Power of Attorney, on record in said

County, being the earliest American record found of the family name. About that

time he moved into CAROLINA as shown by a court record as follows: "At a General

Court held ye 27 September 1670 at ye house of Saml. Davis for ye County of

Albemarle in ye Province of Carolina, Laurence Gunfallis obtained an order

against Capt. Jo. Outlaw in May Court 1670 for a bote of 14 foot and whereas

said Outlaw is departed from his house and there can be no bote had, Mr. Herman

Smewin and Abraham Kimberly were sworn in Court to appraise ye worth of ye said

bot who vallowed said bote to be worth 750 lbs. tobacco and cost. and cost of

sale, wherefore it is ordered ye said Gunfallis satisfy his debt out of ye said

Outlaw's estate where it can be found." As to the time and place of his death,

and family, if any, no record is at hand. (Norfolk County records-Hathaway

Register, etc.)

(Capt. John's appointment of Thomas Gilbert as his attorney to appear in two

suits against William Onale-also deciphered as Davenall and Dafnell, the latter

being probably correct-appears to have been as a defense attorney in at least

one of the suits. It concerned his behavior in August, 1668 while attending the

funeral of Robert Spring's wife at her home. He got into an argument with John

Johnson and became so turbulent that Onale (Dafnell), the neighborhood

constable, was called to command the peace; but Capt. John met him at the door,

used abusive language and struck him two or three blows. His brother, young

Edward. was doubtless there and, one witness at the hearing seemed to involve

him in the brawl, but was probably confused, for Onale's (Dafnell's) oral

response to Capt. John's blows were addressed to him which eliminated Edward:

"What is the matter with you, Capt. Outlaw, I have charged the peace before you

and I know not what to doe with you." He was indicted but he did not appoint

Gilbert to represent him until March 31, 1669. What the other suit was about I

do not know, but it was very probably defensive also. On May 8, 1668 a

difference between Capt. John and Edward Wesray was heard and referred to the

next Court; and on the same day Capt. John, his brother Edward, and another

minor, Thomas Forkin, were convicted of unlawfully killing a steer and fined

2000 pounds of tobacco. one half going to the owners and one half to the County

of Norfolk. Capt. Outlaw apparently assumed the fine, as the other defendants

were minors.

Full accounts of these and other court records are in Benjamin C. Holtzclaw's

study of Outlaw genealogy, released this (1971) fall as Vol. XVI, HISTORICAL

SOUTHERN FAMILIES, edited by Mrs. John Bennett Boddie of Honolula, Hawaii; which

I commend to our readers.

John Outlaw was a boat captain and boat builder and probably a

tobacco farmer as he seemed able to pay some fairly steep court fines in tobacco

poundage. He was never married, as far as we know. His parentage, back in

England's County Norfolk, is unknown as are sibblings, if any, other than Edward

(Section 10). It is believed he returned to England around 1670 and died there

as there are no further records of -him in Norfork County, Va. or the old

Albemarle counties, N.C. -A.H.O.)

10. EDWARD OUTLAW, First, of Elizabeth Parish, Lower Norfolk County, VIRGINIA,

was a Mariner, and purchased (jointly with Dennis Ashley) from Francis Thelaball

and wife, Sarah, in 1678, 300 acres of land called Beach Ridge, at the head of

the Western branch of Elizabeth River in said County. In 1682 they were granted

by Sir Henry Chickeley, His Majesty's Deputy Governor, 256 acres adjoining that

they had bought from Thelaball, said land being "due them by and for the

transportation of five persons &c." His Will is in the records for said county

at Portsmouth, dated December 19, 1713, and probated December 17, 1714,

apparently written and signed by himself, and therein mentioned his wife

Elizabeth and the following children:

I. Edward Outlaw, see Sec. 11.

II.. Ralph Outlaw, see Sec. 12.

III. Sarah Outlaw, married William Bustin. They had a son William whose Will is

dated 1752 and mentioned his wife Elizabeth and children as follows: Edward,

Thomas, Christopher, Benjamin, William, Sarah and Francis. (Portsmouth Book 1,

page 248), Sec. 1128.

IV. Elizabeth Outlaw, married Robert King whose Will is dated 1732 and mentioned

his wife Elizabeth and daughter Elizabeth. (Wills 1710-1753, page 13 1).

The Will of Edward Outlaw, above mentioned, is substantially as follows:

"In the name of God amen the 19th day of December

I EDWARD OUTLAW being sick in body but of good and perfect memory thanks be to

Almighty God and calling to remembrance the uncertain estate of this transitory

life and that all flesh must yield unto death when it shall please God to call

do make constitute, ordain and declare this my last Will and Testament in manner

and from following: first being penitent and sorry from the bottom of my heart

for my sins past most humbly desiring forgiveness for the same do give and

commit my Soul unto Almighty God my Savior and Redeemer in whom and by merits of

Jesus Christ I trust and believe assuredly to be saved and to have full

remission and forgiveness for all my sins and that my Soul with my body at the

General Resurrection shall rise again with joy through Jesus Christ and pass on

and possess and inherit the Kingdom of Heaven prepared for his Elect and Chosen:

my body to be buried in such place as shall please my executor hereafter named

and now for the settling of temporal estate such as goods, chattels and debts as

hath pleased God far above my deserts to bestow upon me I do ordain and dispose

of in manner and form following: revoking by these presents all testament and

testaments will and wills heretofore by me made or declared either by word or

writing and this to be taken for my last Will and Testament and none other.

"Item- I give and bequeath unto my beloved wife Eliza the use of my whole estate

lands and living both without doors and within during her natural life and after

her decease I give and bequeath as followeth:

"Item- I give and bequeath unto my son Edward Outlaw one hundred and three acres

of land with all the appurtenances thereunto belonging

to him and his heirs forever-and one negro boy called Cophee and one four gallon

porridge pot.

"Item- I give and bequeath unto my son Ralph Outlaw one hundred and two acres of

land beginning at a marked persimmon at the upper end of my orchard and so

running along the old field to two persimmon trees more and from the last

persimmons to run a line to make up the complement-and one negro girl called

Bess to him and his heirs

forever.

"Item- I give and bequeath unto my daughter Sarah Bustin and my son Ralph Outlaw

all my household stuff to be equally divided between them excepting the porridge

pot that was given before.

"Item- I give and bequeath unto my daughter Elizabeth King one negro woman

called Diana and her increase forever.

I do therefore ordain and constitute my two sons Edward and Ralph to be my whole

and sole executors of this my last Will and Testament. I therefore give unto my

two executors all my stock and tools. In witness whereof I have hereunto set my

hand and seal this 19th day of December, 1713.

I

(Mr. Edward Hinkle of Blooming Grove, Texas, a lineal descendent, has discovered

and sent to me additional and exciting information on Edward Outlaw, First,

which I give below. However, he mentions only two children-Edward and Ralph.

Edward, First, he says, was born in County Norfolk, England ca. 1652; came to

Norfolk County, Va. with his brother, Capt. John Outlaw and there married

Elizabeth, daughter of William and Mary Davenall also of Norfolk County, about

1680. Capt. John was much older than Edward (though a young man, probably in his

middle or late twenties). This William Davenall is also deciphered from the old

record as Onale and Dafnell (Sec.9), the latter being probably correct. He was a

Constable and neighbor of Capt. John and Edward.

Edward doubtless owed a great deal to his elder brother, Capt. John, but Capt.

John may have been a bad influence on him and got him into trouble with the law

on at least two occasions: (1) engaged him and another minor to help him

unlawfully kill a steer, and (2) failure to do his share in keeping up the

public roads in his area-an example set by Capt. John-(BCH in HSF, pg. 2) There,

the facts are brought out in detail. However, after Capt. John apparently

returned to England, Edward grew up to become a very good citizen. According to

the probate date of his Will he died in December, 1714. His wife, Elizabeth,

died in 1727. His

17

County Norfolk parents and sibblings (if any) other than Capt. John are not

known. As far as we know, this Edward Outlaw begins the genealogical line of

Outlaws in America -AHO).

11. EDWARD OUTLAW, (10) born about 1685, Norfolk County, Va. Married Anne,

daughter of George and Hannah Ivey of Norfolk County. Edward, Second, Gentleman,

of Albemarle County (Now Chowan, Bertie and others), Carolina, is shown in the

records as juror at Court on Queen Ann's Creek in Chowan precinct in 1721 and

1722 and owned lands on Warrick Swamp, Catherine Creek and elsewhere. The land

in Virginia left to him by his father's Will, was deeded by him to his

brother-in-law Robert King and wife Elizabeth "where the said Outlaw's father

formerly dwelt, which said land is part of 240 acres that Edward Outlaw, Sr.,

deceased, left to his sons." Anne Outlaw, wife of Edward, signed the deed. She

was Anne (Ivey) Outlaw, daughter of George and Hannah Ivey, also of Norfolk

County. The word "gentleman" indicates that his ancestors were freemen, bearing

a coat of arms. He was born about 1685 in Norfork County and died between April

15, 1738 and February 5, 1739, as shown by two certain deeds of record in Bertie

County, N.C., the first by Edward Outlaw (Third) to Richard Sanders, in Book E

at page 337, to which Edward Outlaw Sr. (Second) and William Whitfield were

witnesses, and the second deed by "Edward Outlaw, eldest son of Edward Outlaw,

late of said County, deceased, and George Outlaw another of the sons of Edward

Outlaw, deceased, of the one part, and Theophilus Pugh of the County of

Nansemond, in the Colony of Virginia, merchant of the other part" in Book F,

page 31. Patience Outlaw, wife of Edward (Third), appeared in Court and

"acknowledged the same freely." By the said deed it is shown that his sons were:

1. Edward Outlaw, Sec. 13.

11. George Outlaw, Sec. 14. And others. Thomas, William and Ralph Outlaw granted

lands in Bertie County 1742-1747, were probably the other sons. The quitrents

for Bertie and Edgecombe Counties were payable at Outlaw's Landing on Chowan

River in 1736, and in 1743 a bill was placed before the Assembly asking for the

erection of a town at said place. (No, these others were the sons of his brother

Ralph-Sec. 12. They are: Thomas, Sec. 18; Win., Sec. 17; and Ralph, Sec. 16.

However, BCH in HSF, pg. 9, believes Edward had 3 or 4 more children than the

first edition lists -AHO):

111. A daughter, married Samuel Albertson and died before 1740,

when her son, Samuel, Jr., was apprenticed to Edward Outlaw.

She may have been the Mary Outlaw (below, in V).

IV. Joseph Outlaw who with his wife Elizabeth, deeded land in Chowan County,

N.C. in 1751-52. He is not mentioned as a son in Edward's brother Ralph's Will,

so he must have been Edward's son.

18

V. Mary Outlaw. born about 1712-14, who witnessed a deed in 1735 along with

other members of the family. She may have been identical with Mrs. Albertson

(above in 111).

VI. Sarah Outlaw, born 1708-10; married Wilkinson, and witnessed deeds connected

with the Edward Outlaw family in 1729, 1735, and 1738. Probably the eldest

child.

12. RALPH OUTLAW, (10) of Albemarle County, CAROLINA, owned lands on Catherine

Creek, purchased from William Thompson and wife. The land in Virginia, left to

him by his father's Will, was deeded by him to Thos. Hobgood, Jr. "in Parish of

Elizabeth, County of Norfolk, where the said Outlaw family formerly dwelt." Anne

Outlaw (same name as his brother Edward's wife), wife of Ralph signed the deed.

As to the time and place of his death, and family if any, no record is at hand.

There are conveyances in Chowan County records by Lewis Outlaw to George White,

1755, land on Warrick Swamp Lewis Outlaw to George Outlaw, 1768, for "land

descended to him by legal heirship from John Rice;" Joseph Parker to George

Outlaw, 1771, for "land on Catherine Creek known as Indian Neck", and Lewis

Outlaw and daughter Ann to George Outlaw, 1776, for "land descended from John

Rice" - David Outlaw witness. (Born in Norfolk County, Va. about 1690. After

marriage and two or three children they moved to Albemarle County, N.C., to what

is now Chowan County around 1717. The remainder of his 7 (all male) children

were born there. Hinkle's report (Sec. 1006) is credited for the addition to

Sec. 12 of the first edition; and I have added section numbers to each. Ralph's

Will was probated in 1760 -AHO).

Children:

1. John Outlaw, Sec. 15.

11. William Outlaw, Sr., Sec. 17. This section in the first edition is for

George Outlaw and says he is the son of William. I have reversed it to show

William, the father of George in order to bring the line of William and his

children forward.

Ill. Ralph Outlaw, Jr., Sec. 16.

IV. Thomas Outlaw, Sec. 18. (Hinkle is in error here in giving the name Joseph).

V. Edward Outlaw, Sec. 23.

VI. Lewis Outlaw, Sec. 36.

VII. George Outlaw, Sec. 38,.

13. EDWARD OUTLAW, Third, (I 1 -10) owned large tracts of land on Flat Swamp,

Horse Swamp and Chowan River, in Bettie County, as shown by deed from "Edward

Outlaw, gentleman, to my son Edward Outlaw," and other conveyances. The lands in

Bettie County were sold to Thos. Hallowell in 1742, and he lived for a short

time in Johnston County. During the years 1745, 1746, 1747 and 1748 he received

several grants for

19

land in New Hanover County, in that part of it which is now Duplin County, where

lived until his death in 1759. The place of his residence was on North East

River at what is known as the George Outlaw old place at Outlaw's Bridge, in

said County, deeded to him by Constantine Whitfield. His original Will is in

Duplin County records dated 1759, and in 1760 Patience Outlaw, widow, filed an

inventory of the estate which included horses, cattle, implements, and one large

church Bible, one small Bible, one common prayer book, one testament and one

psalmster. His wife was Patience Whitfield of Bertie County, daughter of

Elizabeth (Goodman) and William Whitfield.

Children-.

1. Alexander Outlaw, eldest son "to my plantation whereon I live after my wife's

decease." Sec. 39.

11. James Outlaw, Sec. 40.

Ill. Edward Outlaw, served as Ensign in the Revolution, Wilmington Division,

commissioned April 16, 1776. No further record, Sec. 1139A.

Benjamin C. Holtzclaw of Richmond, Va. AHO).

VI. Elizabeth Outlaw, Sec. 41.

VII. Mary Outlaw.

Vill. unborn.

14. GEORGE OUTLAW, (11-10) Cooper, owned lands in Bertie County, sold to

Theophilus Pugh, and was granted lands in New Hanover County in that part which

is now Duplin, where he was living in 1744. There are numerous conveyances to

and from him in Duplin County records, but no Will showing his family, if any.

One conveyance by him gives his residence as Burke County, Ga., another as

Darlington County, S.C. There are also conveyances in Duplin County records to

and from Lodwick Outlaw, Benjamin Outlaw, and others, all prior to 1783, but no

Wills in their names. One conveyance by Benjamin Outlaw gives his residence St.

John's Parish, S.C., all of which are in the public records for Deuplin County

at Clinton, N.C., Sampson County being a part of Duplin until 1784. The names

shown in this section probably belong to the family of George Outlaw, shown at

the beginning.

(HSF: born about 1716-17, Norfolk County, Va. Died probably in Darlington

County, S.C. Wife, probably Lydia Bently, daughter of John and Sarah Bently of

Bertie County. Moved to Burke County, Ga. about 1770. Lodwick and Benjamin

(above) were his sons, and there were four more, all listed in order below-AHO).

(As to death date HSF, Vol. XVI, pgs. 20-21, shows he died in Bertie in 1791 and

cites tax list of land in his name that year but, in his wife Elizabeth's name

the next year. Also, she was appointed administratrix of

24

his estate on Feb. 6, 1792. However, the estate was apparently not finally

divided and a report made until April 1, 1809; and it appears this was the

record the first edition author read and which led him to believe that John died

about 18 10. Two daughters were born before the two sons and I have added them

below. John was the older of the two sons and was the John Canady Outlaw, Sec.

who came to America with Baron de Graffenreidt and founded the town

of New Berne, on on Neuse River, in Craven County, N.C. He was born 1688;

died Nov. 1, 1773. An old record in Duplin Court House shows that

been known as Kornegay's Bridge, where he died, according to a family

record, June 22, 1 1812. He was born about 1762.

the State House of Commons, and of the State Senate, for a

period of more than thirty years. Sarah Herring, -wife of Daniel

Glisson, was a daughter of Stephen Herring and wife Sarah,

who was probably Sarah Whitfield, daughter of Elizabeth

Goodman and William Whitefield, and therefore a sister of

Patience (Whitfield) Outlaw, mother of Elizabeth Outlaw,

shown at the beginning of this section. Other children of Sarah

(Herring) and Daniel Glisson were: Captain Bryan Glisson, 9th

Company, Duplin Regiment, War of 1812, Abraham Glisson,

his wife, died April 22, 1819, and Celia, his widow, was living in 1842. In

Bertie County, Book FF, page 462, is a deed from Celia Outlaw, widow of Ralph,

to her step-daughter, Jane E. Cherry, wife of Solomon Cherry, in which it is

stated that "she expects shortly to enter into the holy bonds of matrimony with
