Abraham b. 1705 & Rhonda (Peale) Outten

I'm searching for the descendants of Abraham (1705-1747) & Rhonda (Peale) Outten. They had 6 children but so far I have not been able to identify any Outten grandchildren. Their six children were Thomas, William, Matthew, Abraham, John & Sarah. Of the 5 sons, Thomas, William & Matthew all died with no issue. This leaves just Abraham & John. They were both apparently adults when their father died in 1747 putting their birth dates in the late 1720s. I've found no trace of John. There is an Abraham who appears in Accomack County who I suspect is the son of Abraham & Rhonda Outten. He married Jamimah and appears in the records in 1776-1778.

I've found a few clues to the next generation. These would be children of either Abraham or John but I think more likely Abraham, as John appears to have moved away or died.
·> Abraham Outten d. 1785 who m. Mary Wise died before the birth of his first child thus probably as a young man. I estimate his dob at 1755-1765, which fits as a child of Abraham & Jamimah.
·> There was also a Jacob in Accomack County who was possibly another son of Abraham & Jamimah. He was the father of Timothy who was 14 and an orphan in Feb 1786. This is probably the Timothy who married Betsey Moore in 1796 in Northampton Co., VA. I estimate Jacob's dob at 1745-1750, assuming he was in his twenties when Timothy was born. Thus it is possible that he was a son of Abraham & Jamimah.
·> There was also an Outten who married Polly Clemmons. She was mentioned in her father's 1782 will as Mary Hooten. I think that Revil Outten b. c. 1775 is somehow related to his family. Revil named his son Peter Clemmons Outten. Could Polly Clemmons have been the wife of Jacob Outten?

Any ideas?
