Withers' Heirs v. Steele

Txie Chief Justice

delivered the opinion of the court.

This is a contest for land under adverse conflicting claims, and depends exclusively upon the validity of the entry, in virtue of which the appellants, who were complainants in the court below, assert their right. That entry is as follows;—

“June 1st, 1780 — Thomas Withers enters 600 acres up“on treasury warrants, on the north side of Kentucky river, “to include a spring about one mile from the said river, on “a buffalo path, and an improvement made by Joseph Black-“ford, extending eastwardiy for quantity, to adjoin Adam “Rough’s settlement.”
