>Of course this all depends on whether or not he inherited them?  Since this
is one way he could have come by them at a young age.  I have seen this in
other places. Was his father and grandfather still living?
 

And, of course, an inheritance could also come from his wife's side of the
family. But, in this case, I suspect the inquirer has already covered all
those bases.
