Hello members, I have a Pendleton deed that was witnessed by Dempsey Kemp in 1799. Kemp was supposedly only 17 yrs. old at the time. What was the legal age for witnessing deeds in Pendleton in 1799? This is important because it would tell me if Dempsy Kemp's date of birth is probably correct or not. Thanks, Ann Researching KEMP/KAMP/CAMP, DEMPSEY, CLEMENTS/CLEMONS in Pendleton District.
