powered, to sell and convey the land lying in Baltimore county,

the age of twenty-one years at the time of joining with her said
husband in making the said deed of conveyance; Provided always,
that the said deed of conveyance be executed and acknowledged in
the manner now prescribed by law for the execution of deeds by
