    Looking at marriage records, COI/Presbeterian records. At what age is "full age" rather than "minor" on these records..

    In reality, it might not mean they are over 21 as well - I've got some ancestors who put full but were younger. No proof was required. I also have one ancestor who wrote it and was 59.
