Subject: Re: Age for Obtaining Land Patents, Parish baptism requirements
I can answer one question, having recently researched the same
question myself.
Despite the often held belief, one could obtain a patent at any age --
even as a baby if someone took care of the legal work for him/her.
One did not have to be 21 to obtain a patent.
