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.

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.

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 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."

"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."

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).

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).

THOMAS OUTLAWE, son of Ralph Outlawe of Bintry, admitted pensioner Corpus Christi College 1674, and matriculated 1675.

SAMUEL OUTLAWE, son of Thomas Outlawe, of the Isle of Ely, admitted sizar and matriculated Jesus College 1693; B.A. 1697; ordained deacon 1698; curate of Fotheringay 1698; priest 1699, and received government allowance to Leeward Isles in 1705.

In memory of Ralph Outlawe, gent; who died Nov. 14, 1670, and Elizabeth, his wife, who died July 4, 167 1.

"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:

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 Wichingham, 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.

(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.

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 Greene 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 in 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:

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 [Sir Henry Chicheley], 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).

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 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.

"Proved by all the witnesses hereunto subscribed this 17th day of Dec-, ember, 1714 and is upon the motion of Edward and Ralph Outlaw admitted to record. Test. Thos. Butt, Jr. DCCur."

(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 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:

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):

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.

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).

II. 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.

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

13. EDWARD OUTLAW, Third, (I 1 -10) owned large tracts of land on Flat Swamp, Horse Swamp and Chowan River, in Bertie 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 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.

I. Alexander Outlaw, eldest son "to my plantation whereon I live after my wife's decease." Sec. 39.
II. James Outlaw, Sec. 40.
III. Edward Outlaw, served as Ensign in the Revolution, Wilmington Division, commissioned April 16, 1776. No further record, Sec. 1139A.
IV. William Outlaw.
V. Anne Outlaw, (married Peter Smith of Duplin Co.-letter from A.T. Outlaw to Benjamin C. Holtzclaw of Richmond, Va. AHO).
VI. Elizabeth Outlaw, Sec. 41.
VII. Mary Outlaw.
VIII. 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 Duplin 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).

II. Lodwick Outlaw, (also Deudovic, "Lud") Outlaw, born in Bertie or Duplin 1742-43. Lived in Duplin for a time and married Mary - - - ? They moved to Burke County, Ga. with his father in the early 1770's. One son, James. Lodwick died as a refugee soldier on retreat from Augusta to Savannah in the Revolution.

V. John Outlaw born about 1753, Duplin County, N.C. Was there as late as 1774 and apparently moved to Burke County, Ga. with his father and brother, Lodwick.

VI. Peletiah Outlaw, born about 1755, Duplin County. Probably moved to Brunswick County, N.C. before 1790 Census. Wife's name not known. One John Outlaw who was granted land there in 1805 is believed to be a son.

14B. JOHN OUTLAW, (I 14A-1 4-11 -10) born 1792, Chesterfield County, S.C. Married Abigail (probably Cameron). Moved to Henry County, Ala. 1832-33.

V. James Outlaw, married Elizabeth, his brother John, Junior's widow, Sec. 21.

16. RALPH OUTLAW, JR., (12-10) born in Bertie County and died there in the year 1790, as shown by his Win in Book D. page 146. He married Mrs- Mary Knott in Bertie County April 22, 1769, she being his second wife- As to his first wife no record is at hand. (Probably Ann --- ? who witnessed a deed of Ralph's brother, William, in 1748.

I. Elizabeth Outlaw, married Nathan Miers, Bertie County, Sept. 15, 1764 and had at least one child, Ralph.

VI. Drucilla Outlaw, married William Frazier Jan. 10, 1774. Children: Charity and Wright.

VII. Charity Outlaw, married Rev. John Alexander, a prominent and influential Episcopal Clergyman and a Loyalist in Bertie County during the Revolution.

17. WILLIAM OUTLAW, SR., (12-10) (First edition gives the name George, son of William, but I have reversed it to William, father of George in order to show ancestry and other children Of William. William was born in Norfolk County, Va. about 1716; died in Bertie County, N.C. about 1789. Married Mary, the daughter of James Wood of Bertie about 1740.

Ill. William Outlaw, Jr. (known as Capt. Outlaw), born in Bertie County 1745-6. Married Susannah Byrd in Bertie Aug. 25, 1764. Died in Hertford County prior to 1800. He served as a Lieutenent in the Revolution, was a wealthy land owner and had probably as many as 10 children.

21. JOHN OUTLAW, (15-12-10) born about 1745. Lived in Bertie County, and died there about 1810, as shown by a division of his estate in Book V, page 468. Wife's name not known. (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 administrator of 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. 62 -AHO).

22. DAVID OUTLAW, (16-12-10) lived in Bertie County, and died there May 27, 1789, as shown in Book R, page 440. He married Martha Standley in Bertie County July 27, 1773, daughter of Jonathan Standley. Book M, page 610.

24. WRIGHT OUTLAW, (17, 111-12-10) probably a native of Hertford County, died in Montgomery County, Tennessee, in the year 1815, as shown by his Will in Book B, page 158.

In another deed by him in Bertie County, Book T, page 305, he conveys "all the land which the said Wright Outlaw now holds," dated 1804. His Will mentions "Prudence, my present wife, and any other children I may have." See also Book B, page 134.

25. JOSIAH OUTLAW, (15-12-10) of Bertie County, purchased land in Duplin County, on Southerland's Marsh, about 1793, where he lived until his death about 1810. Wife's name not at hand.

Her children by HUI were: Henry Franklin, Mary Eliza, Barsha, Elizabeth, Alfred D. and Joseph Hill (Book DD, page 230).

28. LEWIS OUTLAW, (23-12-10) of Bertie County, died about the year 1809, as shown by a division of his estate, in Book V, page 164. Wife's name not shown.

Parenthetical information below is supplemental to the above original edition and is furnished by Mr. Richard Hinkle, Blooming Grove, Tex. See his full report, Sec. 1006. -AHO.

(Born in Chowan County, N.C. about 1758-59 and died in Bertie County in 1808, the same year as his father. His wife was named Elizabeth.

So who was Thomas Outlawe of "co. Somerset" (from Bristol? or a man working for Lord Admiral Thomas Seymour ? or working for the Duke of Somerset - Edward Seymour?):

Revisiting the visitation: Senior Thomas Outlawe marries Margaret Cory is listed among the children of an early Francis Cory

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 granted arms and crest) and Margaret, his wife, daughter of Francis Cory of Bramerton, and their children Roger, Thomas, Anne and Elizabeth; [ So what happened to Roger and Thomas? ]
(2) Amye Outlawe, wife of George Southgate of Reefeham;
(3) Mary Outlawe, wife of Thomas Allen of Great Wichingham;
(4) Margaret Outlawe, wife of John Goodge of St. James in Suffolk;
(5) Elizabeth Outlawe, wife of Robert Allen of Norwich;
(6) Ralph Outlawe, and
(7) Simon Outlawe.

Notice years later but BEFORE the Capt. John and Edward brothers.... Notice that "Thomas" was used as the traditional name for the "first born" son...

The Corys remained at Bramerton for more than 250 years in which time the family had spread widely into Norfolk and Suffolk.

Bramerton Hall - Bramerton Hall, the seat of the Corys from about 1400 to about a century and a quarter since; it is now the seat of Miss Blake: it was partly rebuilt in 1870 by J. J. Blake esq the late owner: the building is principally of white brick

Some of the history of Bramerton Hall can be found in SOME CHRONICLES OF THE CORY FAMILY RELATING TO ELIAKIM AND SARAH SAYRE CORY AND THEIR DESCENDANTS, WESTFIELD, N. J., BALLSTON SPA, N. Y. WITH OTHERS FROM "JOHN OF SOUTHOLD" by Harriet C. Dickinson, pages 96-103

Bramerton Hall - The following is from SOME CHRONICLES OF THE CORY FAMILY RELATING TO ELIAKIM AND SARAH SAYRE CORY AND THEIR DESCENDANTS, WESTFIELD, N. J., BALLSTON SPA, N. Y. WITH OTHERS FROM "JOHN OF SOUTHOLD" by Harriet C. Dickinson, pages 96-103

17. Francis Cory was born in 1539 in Bramerton Hall, Norfolk, England. He died in 1581.

Francis Cory and Grace Brown were married. Grace Brown died in 1596. She was born in Talconeston, Norfolk, England.

+33	i.	Francis Cory.

+35	iii.	Dorthy Cory.
+36	iv.	Ann Cory.
37	v.	Robert Cory died in 1582.
38	vi.	Johanna Cory was born (date unknown).
+39	vii.	Elizabeth Cory.
+40	viii.	Margaret Cory.

76	ii.	Roger Outlaw was born (date unknown).
77	iii.	Thomas Outlaw was born (date unknown).
78	iv.	Elizabeth Outlaw was born (date unknown).

And also the Cory's are listed in the Visitations: Notice that Thomas Outlawe is listed here...

Interestingly the Senior Son Thomas Cory and Margaret Cory's brother goes to Gray's Inn in 1613 - Ralph Outlawe was admitted in 1610:

London Tower Ward - Robert Davy of Norwich = Elizabeth Da. of ... Outlaw of Norgate of Norfolke (circa 1633)

Robert Davy seems to have been a WINE merchant in London.... and the Tower Ward was the Royal area in London so he probably was getting wine for Eliz I

Notice Margaret nee Walshe married John Outlaw of Dereham and had four children:

"The visitacion [i.e., visitation] of Norfolk, made and taken by William Hervey, Clarencieux King of Arms, anno 1563, enlarged with another visitacion [sic] made by Clarenceux Cook : with many other descents, and also the vissitation [sic] made"

Notice: Simon Owghlawe in and around - land in Acle, Mowton, Boyton, Northbyrlyngham Fysshely and Upton in 1542 with a connection to the famous "Clere" family ...:

Sir Thomas Clere was buried in the Church of St Mary at Lambeth in Surrey where his monumental brass can still be seen

There is evidence that the Bullen / Boleyn Coat of Arms was used by the family from about 1400 (It was probably used before then but we have not yet found any tangible proof)

Blickling Hall and its Church, in Norfolk, was the home of Sir Geoffrey Boleyn (1406-1463) from 1437. He was the Lord Mayor of London in 1465. There is a window, in the church, dedicated to his wife Ann and it displays the Boleyn Coat of Arms.

Blickling was inherited by Sir Geoffrey Boleyn’s (1406-1463) son Sir William Boleyn (1451-1505). William Boleyn’s daughter Alice Boleyn (1487-1538) married Sir Robert Clere.

In 1505 Blickling was inherited by William Boleyn’s son Sir Thomas Boleyn (1477/70-1538/9) (father of Queen Anne Boleyn. He was granted the title of Earl of Ormond by Henry VIII and with the title came lands in Ireland. Clonony Castle, in Co Offaly, was one of his possessions).

After the execution of Queen Anne and her brother George Boleyn, Blickling Hall became the home of Sir Edward Clere (died 1611). Sir Edward Clere’s tomb, in Blickling Church, displays the Coats of Arms and pedigrees of his family. His grandparents were Sir Robert Clere (died 1529) and his 2nd wife Alice Boleyn. Below is one of the inscriptions on the tomb.

Maurice left a son, Walter Fitz-Maurice, who died without issue. ... as Mr. Burtchaell suggests, a younger son of Maurice, who married Margaret Outlaw

Interesting in the following, they show William fitz Maurice as the son of Maurice as a second son) : Also notice they take the Fitzgerald moniker.

ThePeerage.com - Person Page 26681

Margaret (?) married William fitz Maurice Fitzgerald, 1st Baron of Burnchurch, son of Maurice fitz William Fitzgerald and Margaret Outlawe.¹
Her married name became Fitzgerald.¹

Rowland fitz William fitz Maurice Fitzgerald was born in 1374.¹ He was the son of William fitz Maurice Fitzgerald, 1st Baron of Burnchurch and Margaret (?).¹
He married Margaret (?) in 1410.¹ He died in 1448.¹
Rowland fitz William fitz Maurice Fitzgerald held the office of Keeper of the Peace for County Kilkenny in 1405.¹

Child of Rowland fitz William fitz Maurice Fitzgerald and Margaret (?)

Richard fitz Rowland Fitzgerald+¹

Roland above was but a mere child, at the death of his father, William Fitz Maurice, some time before March 28th, 1374. He was still a minor, March 8th, 1390. He was appointed Keeper of the Peace for Co. Kilkenny, in 1405, and again in 1410. In the later year, he, and his wife, Margaret, had a grant of 1 messuage and 1 1/2 carucates of land in Kenokestoun. Published records mention him for the last time, in 1414, when the King granted him, for his services, a life pension of £12 a year.

His son and heir was Richard Fitz Maurice ("Rold' fil' Wmi genuit Richm ", as shown in the Abstract), who, with his wife Johanna Whytte, is mentioned on the oldest of the family tombs in Burnchurch. Another Richard Fitz Maurice, or Baron, of Burnchurch (probably grandson of Richard, son of Richard), and Patrick St. Leger, chief of his nation, appear in 1502, as witnesses to the identification of the will of Sir James Butler Mac Richard, made in 1487.

So here we have William Outlawe Jr. with two sons William and Arnold and daughter Margaret.

This conflicts with other information that William Jr, had a son Roger and that Margaret was daughter of William Sr.

William Outlawe Jr, may well have named a son Arnold after the man who helped him
Arnold de Poer, Lord of Kells [Paor]

"The Outlaws derive their descent from a family who were banished to Ireland by King Edwy, for political offences A.D.900. [More likely ~955-957AD see Dunstan link ]

Ireland was at that time overrun by wolves, and they redeemed the liberty of returning the next year, when King Edgar reigned, by sending in so many wolves' heads to the government.

They were also able to prove their innocence of the crime imputed to them ; and, ever since, their arms have been, argent, a saltier gules, between four wolves' heads, couped, proper; but so indignant were they at their unjust condemnation that they determined to retain the name of Outlawe, in order, as they said, to cast obloquy on the unjust monarch who banished them.
