Rawls v. . Henries

The land was owned by Thomas Holton, who died on or before 1878, leaving a last will and testament in which he devised the land to his wife for life, remainder to A. D. Holton, his nephew. The widow died in 1914. The plaintiff claimed the land under a deed from A. L>. Holton, devisee, executed in 1913. Defendants claimed as heirs at law of L. D. Henries, who held same under a deed from Josephus Linton and wife, Josephine, dated in June, 1879, and offered evidence tending to show that defendants and those under whom they claimed had since been in possession, asserting ownership under said deed.
