• Notes

  In Ezekial's will dated 1762, he names his wife, Jean, and many children. He also names his brothers, William and Patrick. Patrick became his executor along with his wife. He gave land on Reedy Creek in Virginia to his sons even though they lived in SC at the time his will was written. He does not call any of his children under age which was age 21 in SC. However, none were married at this point in time either suggesting they were still under the age of 25 at the most. "Under British common law, full majority was reached at the age of 21. Anyone under 21 was legally an infant . Only persons who had reached majority could perform certain legal actions: Buy or sell land without restriction Vote or hold public office Patent land Devise land in a will Execute a bond or promissory note, bring suit in one's own name." "Land owned by deceased minors — minor children could inherit land but, although minors of a certain age could bequeath personal property, only persons aged 21 or more could devise real property by will."
