I have several wills that use a phrase similar to "arrive to age in the law." The time period is 17th and 18th century New Hampshire so I would assume that the English legal system would apply, but I have been unable to determine what that age should be. If I knew I could establish some better estimated dates of birth. Right now I'm using 18 years, but I recently read something that makes me think it may have been 21. Does anyone know for certain?
Thank you. I'm picking up tidbits from this list almost on a daily basis. Jim
