Page 61 of North Carolina Research, Genealogy and Local History by Helen
F.M.Leary states the following: "Deeds: If a person sold land, he was twenty-one
or over; she was twenty-one or over and, normally, single or widowed. Witnesses
were fourteen or older, but normally twenty-one or over if they "proved" the
deed at court. One who bought or was granted land was seldom too young to set
up housekeeping on it."
