This is my working hypothesis - the way I see it as of this moment!!

1811 - Dorsey Alexander Outlaw is born in Hertford Co to George Outlaw and wife Mary Askew.

Dorsey Alexander Outlaw married in NC 29 Jan 1835 Clara Eliza Harris.

"Dossey A. Outlaw came to Oktibbeha County from North Carolina at the age of nineteen. He was a member of the first board of Police of the county when he was but twenty-one.
Outlaw and Beverly had the first brick store in Starkville. Outlaw bought large tracts of land from the Indians.
He returned to North Carolina and married Clara Eliza Harris, Jan. 29, 1835. He remained in North Carolina a few months. When he returned to Mississippi his wife's mother came with them; also his half brother Napoleon Askew; also his stepfather, David O. Askew, his step-father wife, and their children then born unto them.
Also among this crowd coming to Mississippi from Bertie County, North Carolina was Coom Morgan who was dissatisfied at home. He remained in Outlaw's employ until after the War between the States. Hence we see the origin of morgantown of this county, for it is made of descendants of Mr. Morgan, who was so esteemed by the Outlaws." info from Mr. P G Suddeth. in "1937 History of Oktibbeha County, Mississippi"
