Alexander Outlaw and Col. James Kenan at the Battle of Moore's Creek Bridge. William may have Been married twice, with names Ellison and Sutton being the most Frequent references. Both William Sr. And Michael moved to Muhlenberg County, Kentucky, before 1810. William may have been in Kentucky Before 1803.
