Description
STANLEY, Commissioner. This is a suit by the appellants, heirs of Sammie J. Wells, against Roy Butcher and his wife, Frankie Butcher, to quiet title to one acre of land on Daniel's Creek in Johnson County. Defendants also prayed that their title to the parcel be quieted. Judgment was for the defendants. J. W. Wells, who died in 1905, devised his home farm to his six sons, conditioned upon their paying certain debts and equalizing their two sisters with money. The tract was sold by order of court for a debt and bid in by one of the sons, Alex Wells, who assigned the purchase to his wife, Angeline, with the understanding that when the judgment had been satisfied they would convey to the other brothers their respective shares. Angeline Wells received a Commissioner's deed in March, 1910. The petition alleges that Angeline and Alex Wells conveyed 50 acres to Sammie Wells in 1914 and that it included the one acre involved in the suit. Alex testified that he made that deed in 1918, but it was not recorded until 1939 or 1940. The deed is not in this record although the defendants ask a rule requiring the plaintiffs to file a copy of it. Sammie Wells died intestate in July, 1928. The plaintiffs claim title under that deed and also by adverse possession.
