NINTH GENERATION

258. George OUTLAW ⁽⁶⁰⁾⁽⁸²⁾ was born about 1731 in Chowan Co,NC. He died in 1801 in Gates Co,NC. Per Outlaw (1930): " GEORGE OUTLAW, lived in Gates County, and died there in the year 1801, as shown by his Will in Book I, page 191. Wife's name Sarah. Lived on East side of Catherine Creek."

Per Boddie:
George Outlaw (Ralph, Edward) was born in Chowan County, N.C. ca 1731 and died in Gates Co. N.C. in 1801. He and his family are given as #19 in [Outlaw(1930)] (pp. 16-17), though his parentage is not given. His first wife was named Rachel, as shown by a deed in Chowan County, March 2, 1777, from George Outlaw and Rachel his wife to William Hurdle for the 200 acres of Rice land deeded him by his brother Lewis Outlaw and the latter's daughter Ann (Deed Book "R", p. 404). His second wife, when he wrote his will in 1800, was named Sarah (ref: Outlaw(1930), p. 16). The first wife's maiden name was probably Hinton, as John Hinton, in his will in Chowan Co. Feb. 2, 1777, names his "uncle", George Outlaw, as executor of his will (N.C. Hist & Gen Register, Vol I, p. 553). This John Hinton left all his property to his sisters, Rachel Thomas and Sarah Hinton.

George Outlaw first appears in the records of Chowan County in 1754, when he was in the militia with his brother Lewis. In 1761 he was deeded 454 acres in Bertie Co. (Bertie Co Deed Book "K", p. 202), and though he lived in Gates County, continued to hold this land until his death, as shown by the tax lists of Bertie Co. In 1762 he deeded 25 acres in Chowan County to James Garrett (Chowan Co. Deed Book "K-1", p. 173), and was grantee of deeds in that county many times from 1762 to 1778 (D. Bk. "K-1", p. 218; "O", pp. 339 and 341; "P-1", p. 109; "Q", pp. 119 and 239; "R", pp. 168 and 218). His land fell into Gates County on the organization of that county, and he is shown there in 1782, with 950 acres and 18 slaves. The later tax lists of Gates County show him with various amounts of land, always large. In 1785 he is shown with 2 white taxables, which probably indicates that his first son, James, was 16 in that year and born 1768-9. James is shown with 150 acres in 1787 and 1788, with 300 in 1789, with 400 in 1790, and with 500 acres and 5 slaves in 1792-95. Seth Rountree was charged with this as the estate of James Outlaw in 1796. George Outlaw himself is charged with no white taxable 1791-95, indicating probably that he had become 60 in 1791 and was freed from levies. The years 1796 and 1797 show him again with 1 white taxable, probably his younger son George, who had become 16, so born 1779-80. The 1790 census shows George Outlaw in Gates County with a family consisting of 1 male born before 1774, 2 males born 1774-90, 5 females and 20 slaves; that of 1800 shows him with 1 male and 1 female born before 1755, 1 male and 1 female born 1774-84, 1 female born 1784-90, and 31 slaves.

The will of George Outlaw, dated June 19, 1801 and probated in Gates County at the November Court, 1801 (Will Book 1, p. 191) mentions his son George; sons-in-law Seth Rountree, Jonathan Jordan and Charles Powell; daughter Nancy Outlaw; grandson David Outlaw, son of James, decd.; and appoints George Outlaw, Seth Rountree and Isaac Costen as executors."
