I received some confirmed information that John Page and his young sons signed the petition for the creation of Gibson County. I was surprised that children were allowed to sign on that document. Now I am wondering about one of the witnesses on the 1823 deed I have. One of the witnesses was William Page, who could have been his young son but I was under the impression that children could not be witnesses. I assumed (which is dangerous in this research) that this might be his brother William instead. The initials LBC appear after William's signature. Does anyone know what those stand for? Thanks for any help you can offer. Cathy
