This is my working hypothesis – the way I see it as of this moment!!
John Outlaw son of John Outlaw (ca 1712 – 1780) was born about 1744.
He died in Bertie County in 1792.
His wife was named Elizabeth (probably Cannady as they named their eldest son John Canada Outlaw born 14 October 1789 in Bertie Co.)
Elizabeth, his widow, married 2nd Aug 1793 James Outlaw (ca 1757 – brother of her 1st husband John Outlaw).
She had died prior to 1812 when James remarried.
