In researching court records for the 1750-1775 timeframe in the Northern Neck of VA., I find repeated mention of the Sheriff being ordered to summon 'qualified' persons for jury duty. In reviewing jury lists, the persons served over and over again, but they represent only a small fraction of the total male population of any given county at any given time. What was the qualification for serving on a jury in this period?
