Hello List, I will appreciate your thoughts: I have an ancestor who possibly came with the John Knox family from Ulster, c 1740. If he is still with the family in 1768 and on the Rowan Tax Roll in Jane (K)Nox's household, is it possible he is still under a guardianship, indenture or just residing there on some other basis? My reasoning is that "being listed" is proof of his age being at least 16 but somehow still considered a family member. If not just a casual member of the community visiting, will he be obliged to pay the tax? My expectation is that "guardianship" would have ended at age 16. Dick
