210. George Outlaw, born Abt. 1731 in Chowan County, North Carolina; died Abt. 1801 in Gates County, North Carolina. He was the son of 420. Ralph Outlaw and 421. Anne. He married 211. Rachel ?Hinton. 211. Rachel ?Hinton, died Aft. March 02, 1777.
Notes for George Outlaw: From http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~mhurdle127/P116: 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."
Children of George Outlaw and Rachel ?Hinton are: |

"one third of the land belonging to the Creek Mill Plantation, being one third of the land Elisha Hunt, decd., left" in Chowan Co. (Chowan Co Deed Bk. "B-3", p. 106)" |

112 i. Philip Isley, born Abt. 1751 in Pennsylvania; died March 09, 1842 in Gwinnett County, Georgia; married (1) Unknown; married (2) Mary Ann Cameron. ii. George Isley, born April 03, 1768 in Orange County, North Carolina; died October 14, 1848 in Orange County, North Carolina; married Barbara Graves; born April 24, 1773 in Orange County, North Carolina; died September 08, 1844 in Orange County, North Carolina. Both are buried at St. Paul�s Lutheran Church. (Note: I am related to both George Isley and Barbara Graves. George is my 4th great granduncle and Barbara is my 3rd great grandaunt.)
Notes for George Isley from Rex Isley: George had large land holdings, some of which are outlined in Appendix 4, The Malachi Isley Story, and others listed in his will. Additionally, he owned a plantation in Rockingham County. According to Jerry Isley of Reidsville and descendant of George, George never lived on the Rockingham plantation, which was sold at the Court House after his death. His son, William, purchased this Rockingham plantation. William and his wife, Sally Polly, daughter of Philip Isley, lived on the Rockingham plantation and are presumed to be buried close to its location. In the 1800 census, George is listed as having had two slaves. His will lists twenty-four slaves. Also his children listed in his will do not match those listed by Reverend Offman. Children according to his will are Daniel, William, Henry, Austin, John, Edwin, Eli, Molly, Mary, Nelly, Elizabeth, Milly, and Dilly.
iii. Malachi II Isley, born Abt. 1769 in Orange County, North Carolina; died Bet. 1860 - 1870; married Katie "Kitty" Harte; born May 1771; died November 07, 1847.
Notes for Malachi II Isley from Rex Isley: Malachi II is listed in the 1820 census as owning seven slaves. In l850, he is listed as living alone, age 80, and owning real estate valued at $2000. In the 1860 census, he is listed as age 89 with real estate valued at $1000 and a personal estate valued at $10000. He had 12 slaves in 1860. Also in the 1860 census, Sallie Iseley, age 50, and Peter Loy, age 22, are living in his household. He is presumed to have died sometime between 1860 and 1870. His wife Kitty died 7 November 1847 and is buried in the Saint Paul Lutheran Church Cemetery. No grave of Malachi II could be found. As there are many spaces in this cemetery without markers, it can be safely assumed that he is also buried in the Saint Paul Lutheran Church Cemetery. |

240. John Sebastian Graves, born Abt. 1703 in German Palatinate; died Abt. 1804 in Union County, Tennessee.
Notes for John Sebastian Graves: I'm leaving the wife blank. One genealogy forum says the wife's name is unknown. Another says the wife is Maria Magdalena Coble. This can not be verified. If his wife was in fact Maria Magdalena Coble, she was already a relation, a 5th great grandaunt.
John Sebastian Graves is believed to have been born about 1703 in the German Palatinate. William Carroll Graves, a great-grandson of John, in a genealogical outline written in 1870, says that John died in 1804 at the age of 101.
The date of his arrival in America is uncertain but is believed to have been about 1730. According to Roy Stockwell, the following record is from Pennsylvania Colonial Records, Volume 3, page 386. "At the courthouse in Philadelphia, September 5, 1730, a list was presented of the names of 46 Palatines who, with their families making in all 130 persons, were imported here in the ship Alexander and Ann, William Clymer, master, from Rotterdam, but last in Deal." In this list appears the name of Johann Sebastian Graff. These Palatinates arrived on the ship Alexander and Anne.
In what is now Alamance County, but until 1848 was Orange County, NC, was a settlement of Pennsylvania Dutch. The prevailing sect was the German Reformed Church, and services continued in German until about 1800. On Stinking Quarter Creek, not far from the present Burlington, NC, was the Graves Church about where "Old John of Stinking Quarter" lived. In the 1750's many "Pennsylvania Dutch" migrated to North Carolina. "Old John" moved there prior to 1757 and settled on Stinking Quarter Creek, a branch of the Alamance.
W. C. Graves says that John moved from North Carolina to East Tennessee when he was quite old. Records in Orange County show that John deeded property in Orange County to his son Jacob (John Jacob) on November 22, 1799. He lived in Tennessee with his grandson John (son of Jacob). He died on his grandson's farm and was buried near the old Presbyterian church in Big Valley.
"Old John" is believed to have had perhaps 17 children but the names of only five are known.
Following the Indian hostilities in East Tennessee John Graves and his son Sebastian (Boston), purchased large tracts of land near Harbison's Cross Roads. The settlement known as Gravestown gets its name from this early American family.

i. Peter Graves, died November 13, 1794 in Sharps Chapel, Tennessee.
Notes for Peter Graves: According to William H. Thomas (Roy Stockwell's book), "On Nov. 13, 1794, Indians killed and scalped Peter Graves near Sharp's Fort. In December following, the fort was again assaulted, but Boston Graves, Henry Sharp, Conrad Sharp and Levi Hinds defended and drove off the foe, the other men of the settlement being at that time at Great Saltpeter Cove making gun powder in anticipation of another raid. Peter Graves was the first man buried at Sharp's Fort." He was married in N.C., but the name of his wife is not known.
ii. Barbara Graves, born Bet. 1740 - 1743 in Greenwich Township, Berks County, Pennsylvania; died Abt. 1800 in Preble County, Ohio; married Henry Honas Sharp. 120 iii. John Jacob Graves, born March 08, 1745/46 in Greenwich Township, Berks County, Pennsylvania; died April 20, 1820; married Turley Coble. iv. Sebastian "Boston" Graves, born October 01, 1747; died April 01, 1840 in Knox County, Tennessee; married Sarah Effland; born Abt. 1751; died December 28, 1842.
Notes for Sebastian "Boston" Graves: Sebastion (Boston) Graves (1747-1840), second son of the immigrant, served with the Continental Army during the Revolution and was captured by the British and held for eleven months and later exchanged. He migrated with his father and kin to Sharp's Station on the Clinch River. He married Sarah Efland. Another son, Peter Graves, was killed by Indians near Sharp's Fort on November 13, 1794.
Following the Indian hostilities in East Tennessee John Graves and his son Sebastian (Boston), purchased large tracts of land near Harbison's Cross Roads. The settlement known as Gravestown gets its name from this early American family. Boston Graves and his wife are buried in a private cemetery near Harbison's.
v. John Graves, born Abt. 1753. Moved to Indiana about 1820. He married and had six children. |
