Thanks. I guess that makes sense.

Janice, men and women did go back and forth to England. Not like we do
today
but they did not come and get "stuck" here. Some did not like it and
returned to live. I have one of those.

I found three importation records of a man by his name. One was in 1657. He
wand 20 other persons were transported by Wm. Presly. Also transported by
Howell Pryse 1687 and John Stith in 1664.
How could that be unless they are different people and how do I find out
which one is mine.

Keep going back. Look in Cavaliers and Pioneers. They have headrights and
land grants. Excellent source. And yes the Rent Roll show he was of age in
1704. That has been a good help to everyone. But still he may have turned
21
that year or the 2 years before, meaning he was not of age in 1701 but his
parents would be.

He is on the Rent Roll for 1704 in K & Q Co., but that would only tell me
he was over 21 at that time, right? I did find his daughter in her
husbands
will and it stated that the father's land was left to her , but I don't
see that would help me in finding out the father age.

Janice, that is a requirement for an ancestor to qualify for CDXVIIC.
Nothing more. You establish age many ways. You are not going to find any
birth records other than in a church parish registry which a few have
survived. But you can find a man owning land in 1680 and know he was
born
before that. Or find land left to a daughter using her married name,
etc.

Where did you find documentation of age before 1701? I'm looking for my
folks from K & Q Co.

There are two Colonial Dames societies that I know of. One is Colonial
Dames
XVII Century and the other is Colonial Dames of America. The first
requires
one to prove to someone of legal age with "service" prior to 1701. I
think
the second one takes much younger ancestors. That is why I love the one
I
am
in. I love proving back to the earliest people. I have done 7
supplementals
since Jan on new people! My ancestors who have never been proven
before.
Google either of these organizations and you will find the
qualifications
for membership. Both would be by invitation.
