    1. Legal Age
    2. I realize "infant" means underage but what was age of majority. At what age was a man would be added to the list of tithables? Is it different than the age of majority? Did one have to own property to be added by name to the list of tithables? Did underage children have to reach majority before receiving their inheritance. Does anyone know of a good book that explains the legalities of the 18th century and whether or not they changed after the Rev War. Thanks, Sara Patton
