Lands of inheritance
Extracts from - ‘‘A Manx Notebook’’ ht tp://www.isle-of-man.com/manxnotebook/famhist/genealgy/wills.htm (close gap ht tp)
Land which is sold is on the other hand no heirship to the purchaser, not having come from his ancestors. Accordingly, like chattels, it became in Man the joint property of man and wife, to be divided and disposed of with the rest of the personal property, until this was modified by Statute in 1662. When it had once passed by succession it became land of inheritance. Land enclosed from the waste or common land, known as intacks, and cottages or mills built thereon, did not become lands of inheritance so quickly, unless they were " intacks of ease " adjacent to and incorporated in quarterlands whose tenants had enclosed them. An entry in the court book, dated 1666, runs as follows
"The 24 Keys upon the trial of an action . . . for a parcel of Intack Land, declare it their opinion that the same is chattels and might be disposed of . . . having not passed three descents according as the Customs of the Country require. " Quayle, who gives us this decision, says it is typical of a number round about that time. They are summarised as follows : -"farm lands or quarterlands which have so fallen one descent are to pass and go in the nature of lands of inheritance afterwards, but . . . such (i.e. , other than intacks of ease) mills, cottages, and intacks are to descend and pass three descents not reckoning the purchase or enclosure of them . . . but are to be reputed as chattels and bequeathable and dividable as other goods till then."

When it had once passed by succession it became land of inheritance
1st Descent is from John Looney of Gob ne Scoote - to his Son - Daniel Looney (born 1745)
and intacks are to descend and pass three descents
2nd Descent is from Daniel Looney (1745) of Gob ne Scoote - to his Son – John Looney (born 1770)
3rd Descent is from John Looney (1770) of Gob ne Scoote - to his Son – John (Rachel) Looney (born 1888)

Legal Age
The 1673 will of Will Sayle [headed both Andreas and Jurby] records that he died "about the 4th Feb 1673" and ordained his "Ant Issabb Cleator als Clark" exec. until his two sisters Ales and Bahee Sayle became of lawful years.
This document followed: "Feb 13th 1674 ---finds that the testator was at lawfull years, for by certified out of the Church Register, it appears he was born Apll the 6th 1659. And being buryd the sixth of Feb 1673 by computate his age at his death was 14 years & 8 months, see that the Court proceedings were Legall in this particular...
Thus 14 was also the lawful age to leave a will as also to get married

and yes, I had noted that George Looney had Gob ny Scoute, I glimpsed that when I was ‘cutting & pasting’ George Looney information to Douglas Quayle –
