Research Notes

To sign the rolls the following conditions would most likely need to be met

• you are of legal age, probably over the age of 21 therefore born before 1675 making you at least 21 in 1696
• you would be a male person
• each person should have only signed the Roll once, however they may have signed it twice or more as signings took place at different times and places.
