—- a Thomas Outlaw was a buyer at the estate sale of David Reece Nov 1751
—- from estate file of Josiah Stallings – inventory 1772 – The answer [Aug 1800?] of Thomas Rhodes [evidently to a petition] stated that Josiah Stallings died about 20 May 1772. Rhodes further noted that his wife was aunt of the said Betsey Stallings. Deposition [24 Jan 1804] by Courtney Freeman stating Mary Stallings was the widow of the dec’d, and married Aaron Askew after her husband’s death, before her marriage to Askew, Mary deeded Negro Jude to her children John and Elizabeth Stallings. Elizabeth Stallings later married John Belote, Jr and their daughter Frances Belote married George Outlaw [son of Thomas Outlaw].

Joseph W. Wallace

Joseph W. Wallace, register of Madison County, was born in Edgecomb County, N. C., October 1, 1830, the son of Warren and Mourning (Raspberry) Wallace, both of whom were natives of North Carolina. The father came to Tennessee in 1831, locating in Hardin County, on the Tennessee River, where himself and wife spent the remainder of their lives. They were most exemplary citizens. Joseph W. was reared as a farmer, securing a fair education, and preparing himself for teaching, which occupation he followed irregularly from 1845 until 1882. In 1853 he went to Arkansas, but returned to Hardin County in 1860, and when the war broke out enlisted early in 1862 in Company G, Fifth Kentucky Confederate Regiment, and was captured at Baton Rouge, La., August 5, 1862, and was held a prisoner of war until the following October. In November, 1862, he was transferred to the Twenty-third Tennessee Battalion, and was promoted at Chickamauga to color-bearer, and served as such until August 19, 1864, at Atlanta, where he .lost his left leg (and was held as a prisoner, of war until March 9, 1865), when he’ retired on full pay. After the war he returned to Hardin County, but soon left there and followed his profession, and in 1870 came to Madison County, where he has since resided, following book-selling and teaching, and in 1882 was elected to his present position of register. His re-election in 1886 attests his popularity. August 12, 1851, Mr. Wallace married Sarah A. Gage, who died March 3, 1859, leaving two children: Cyathia J., widow of J. W. Allison, and Sarah E., wife of J. L. Allison. December 10, 1865, he married his present wife, Margaret Ann Lewis, who has borne her husband three living children: Robert H. Lee, Florence H. and Jennie B. Mr. Wallace is a Democrat, and he and wife are members of the Methodist Episcopal Church South, he having joined the seine in 1847.

After finding this information, I decided her name must have been Wallace. My uncle had always contended that her maiden name was Wallace, but this was the first proof that I found. I have not found any information to tell me who the Nancy Patridge was who was living with her in 1860. My mother and I think it must be some relation, but so far have found nothing to show what it is.

If you would like more informaiton on Joseph and Mary’s children, I would be happy to send what I have.

My mother was Joalene Harris, her father William J. Harris, his mother Martha Outlaw, the daughter of Joseph and Mary. Laverne Hughes
