      (R1) 1810 census: Peter lived in Henry Co, KY and was 26-45 years old. This conflicts with other birth data. (R1) 1820 census: Peter and his family are living in Washington Co, IL; he is shown to be 45+ years old. (R1) 1830 census appears to show Peter living with his son James and family and he is 60-70 years old. (R) These three censuses combined would lead one to believe that Peter was born between 1769 and 1774.

      Peter was impressed into the Continental Army in Maryland and gave it as the state of his birth. He served as a private in the 7th Maryland Regiment under Captain Gassoway and Col. Gunby. Tradition is that he deserted but later claimed his military land grant in Clinton Co, IL and in 1828, his pension.

      Peter OUTHOUSE enlisted in Fredericktown, Maryland, in the Seventh Regiment, serving as a private in the Maryland Line from August, 1780; then re-enlisted on October 26, 1780. Both enlistments were under Lieut. Wm. Lamar and Capt. Lloyd Beall, in the Ninth Company. He served until November, 1783, when he was discharged. After the war, he moved to Oldham County, Kentucky, and in 1818 came to Clinton County, Illinois, and settled in the southwest part of the county. He entered land in Looking-glass Township, section 13, township 1 north, range 5 west in July 1818. At one of the locations, he received a Revolutionary War Bounty Land Grant of 50 acres. Peter qualified for a pension under a May 15, 1828 Act of Congress. He applied for the pension on June 28, 1828 in Oldham County, Kentucky. He was placed on the pension rolls on Aug 13, 1828, #S46400, with a pension retroactive to Mar 3, 1826. He received a yearly allowance of $80.00 for five and a half years, total $440.00. He moved to Clinton County and transferred his pension to his new address. He died in Clinton County, probably around February 1834. His assignee was George Ponosby.
