Jackey v. Burkhead

STEWART, Judge.

This appeal from a judgment of the Jefferson Circuit Court poses the question whether appellants, Phillip Jackey and Margaret Jackey, have acquired an easement by prescription over lands owned by appellee, Gertrude Burkhead.

Appellants and appellee own adjacent tracts of land in the Pleasure Ridge Park section of Jefferson County. Appellants claim prescriptive right to a 30-foot-wide right of way across appellee’s land. The alleged right of way is approximately 2,750 feet long, of which 1,500 feet runs contiguous to appellants’ eastern boundary, and it connects with Maryman road.
