I have an ancestor who was adjudicated to be an ignoramus by the federal court sitting in Philadelphia in 1794. Of course the court ruled this way about all the men under 25 who were arrested for their participation in the Whiskey Rebellion, so as to avoid finding them guilty of treason and sentencing them to death.
