1Opinion of the Court
Stayton, Chief Justice.
This is an action of trespass to try title, brought by appellant against many defendants to recover that part of a tract of land originally, granted to Jose M. Marquez, situated in Nacogdoches county. This appeal, however, only involves one thousand acres out of that part of the grant which is claimed by Moody and Jemison. The plaintiff and defendants claim through Mrs. L. V. H. Hicks, whose separate estate it once was.
The defendants claim through a regular chain of transfer from Mrs. Hicks, the conveyance to their remote vendor having been made by her on April 2, 1869.
