The intermarriage of Outlaw and Grady Clans.
Recollection taken from the keynote address of Judge Henry A. Grady at the first Annual reunion, August 29, 1930
As recorded in the official minutes of the Grady-Outlaw Literary and Historical Association.
" John Grady, called the elder, was probably born in 1703. We have the record of his death on March 12, 1787; and among my fathers old records his age is given as 84 years. This would indicate that he was born in 1703. John Grady the elder married Mary Whitfeild, the daughter of William Whitfeild and Mary his wife, who was a Goodman of Ireland. It is a significant fact that at the time of his marriage, the grady's, the Outlaws, the Bryans, and the Whitfeilds were all living in Bertie County; and that members of these four families came into Duplin, where they have intermarried until it is imposible to trace their relationship. Here in Duplin we have Grady Outlaw, and Outlaw Grady; Whitfeild Grady, and Bryan Whitfeild; Bryan Grady and Bryan Outlaw, and other combinations of names, showing the liberal intermarriage ang mixture of families.
Two, at leastof John Grady's childeren were born in Bertie County ofMary and Wlliam. His children were John, Mary, Charity, William, Timothy Frederick, Henry, Lewis, and Elizabeth.
John married WHITFIELD Mary Elizabeth About 1733, Windsor, Bertie, North Carolina. Mary was born About 1715, , Duplin, North Carolina; died 30 Dec 1791, Albertson, Duplin, North Carolina. [Group Sheet]
