bullet  Notes:

From "A visitation of the seats and arms of the noblemen and gentleman of Great Britain by Bernard Burke" (section about the Heddings) it says ; ".....In 1620 we find the eldest branch of the family seated at Little Witchingham, in Norfolk, but in 1670 that branch became extinct, and a cousin, Henry Outlaw, Attorney-at-law, of Haddenham, in Cambridgeshire, then became the representative. He married a lady of good fortune, Miss Hare of BECKENHAM, in Kent, whose fortune was invested in the South Sea speculation ; after her husbands death, when she was quite advanced in years, she was taking a nap after dinner, according to her usual custom, when a neighbour, half frantic, rushed in, and throwing up his arms in an excited manner, exclaimed "Oh! Mrs Outlaw, we are all ruined! the South Sea speculation is all a bubble! we have lost everything!" she was so alarmed that she had a paralytic stroke, and died (presumably the neighbour died not Mary?). Her only son Thomas, married Sarah Underwood, co-heiress of Thomas Underwood Esq., and their eldest son, Robert Outlaw, was Rector of Longford, in the county of Salop".

Found marriage on IGI - shows her surname as 'Haird'.

Haddenham PR Transcripts in the Church show this is probably her death;
1734 Burial Jul 3rd OUTLAW Mary wid
Oddly even though she is a widow there is no mention of death of her husband (perhaps he's buried in Little Witchingham?)/
Also this doesn't quite tie in with her being 'quite advanced in years' as 1734 only 20 years after birth of her only son.

A Mr ST JOHN Hare Esq of BECKENHAM, Kent died 1750. MUST be MARY Hare's father or brother, more likely brother if she died in 1734. http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=45478
Also reference to a MARY Hare, relict of St John Hare, 1688, so sounds like that was her mother's name. Although that's in a book about Cambs churches, so not Kent, but perhaps she moved to be near her dau ?
There was also a mathemetican (friend of Sir Issac Newton) called St John Hare "when he lived near Cambridge" although that seems too long ago.


Mary# married Henry# Outlaw, son of Thomas# Outlaw and Elizabeth# Brunsell, in 1707 in Bluntisham Cum Earith, Huntingdon. (Henry# Outlaw was born in 1679 and died in 1716.)
