In Ringland parish – In the middle aisle of the church is a slab to Robt. Outlawe, no date.
This man is thought to be the father of Capt John and Edward Outlaw who came to Norfolk Co VA by 1669.
[There is also the possibility that Capt John and Edward were either from the East Dereham, Elsing Outlaws or the Isle of Ely, County Norfolk Outlaws.]
