Davis v. Stewart

HUGHES,- Justice.

This suit originated in the County Court of Travis County and was an action brought by appellant, Annie Laurie Barrow Davis, to declare the heirship of William Barrow, deceased.

Appellant alleged that she is the only surviving child of William Barrow and wife, George Ann Barrow, both deceased, and hence his only heir.

Appellees are the collateral kindred of William Barrow.

It is conceded that appellant is not the natural child of William Barrow, but she claims to be his child by adoption by estop-pel.

This is a companion case to Davis v. Cavanaugh, Tex.Civ.App., 231 S.W.2d 959.…
