Hi, 

I've been reading through the lists of loyalty oaths for Henry Co., VA
(published in the VA Historical Magazine, beginning in Vol. IX) & have a
question. 

Was there a minimum age at which the loyalty oath requirement kicked in?

It would seem logical that a guy would have been of legal age, i.e. 21. But,
I'm wary of making any assumptions about this & one of the guys I'm looking
at was probably closer to 18, based on a census record that exists for his
family. 

Thanks!

C.Etter
