Littleberry (+ his mark) Matlock. Rec: 21 Aug 1777 ("Halifax Co Deeds 1775-1778"

pg 38:....Deed Bk 10, pg 284) Note: Littleberry, son of Moore Matlock is believed

to have been born abt 1758. If this is true, He would of only been 19 in 1777. Most

Deeds etc. .Men were usually 21. With keeping  that in mind was Littleberry the

Witness of Moore and Zechariah Moore's brother

But its also important to realize that: "Children aged 14 or more could legally

witness a deed, will, or contract but this is also not particularly common, in my

experience. For a variety of practical reasons the parties to such acts generally

preferred adults as witnesses, or at the least someone who was near majority."
