There are two plats listed at Crumpton's plats for Rubin Thompson dated 6-6-1785, located in the Brier Creek area of Burke Co, the area where Reubin Thompson, b 1-11-1765, resided. Rubin Thompson is also listed as an adjacent landowner on a 7-06-1784 plat. Reubin b 1765 would have been twenty years old at the time of the 1785 plats, and nineteen at the time of the 1784 plat. My question is, if Reubin was twenty years old, could he legally have been a landowner? Carol B. Miller

Carol: He could have been a landowner as a minor, or held interest in an estate that was either inherited or won in a lottery, but the property would have been overseen by a guardian of legal age.
