Outley Plantation - VA
Looking for information about an Outley Plantation somewhere in Virginia.It is said that Mr. Outley came from England and settled in Virginia (may have been about 1830).He owned slaves and when he learned he was going to die (while still a young man) he called for his lawyer and his slaves and freed the slaves and gave them the piece of land on which their cabin was and asked them to please stay with his wife until she raised their small children.It is said that they all stayed.Has anyone ever heard of such a thing?
