1Opinion of the CourtLamm, J.
In 1836, William H. Thompson entered the southeast quarter of the southeast quarter and the southwest quarter of the northeast quarter of section 12, township 63, range 6 in Clark county, Missouri, and died in the 50’s or 60’s at Palmyra.
The land (we infer) was in the Mississippi river bottom and shown to be subject to overflow. Thompson never took possession. On December 15, 1836, he, by two several deeds, conveyed a one-eighth interest each to Erastus Palmer and to William Brown. On April 27, 1837, he deeded a one-eighth interest to Stephen Negus and John Barclay.
