One other question for the group.......in the St Paul Parish Vestry Book it 
mentions a process for measuring the boundaries of property owned within the 
parish (Hanover County in this case). Is it safe to assume that in 
"processioning" the land of William Crenshaw that William is over 21 years 
of age in 1711?
