This case was filed in order for plaintiffs to recover into their possession a 40 acre tract of land. Plaintiffs alleged that defendant unlawfully took possession of land. Additional Plaintiff: Isaac Duncan, Joseh Caloway and Luke Calloway, exe. Of Thomas Calloway, dec.

Additional Defendants: Hannah Wright, widow of Thompson Wright, and their son, John S. Wright. This case questioned the validity of a land sale, 56 acres, by William Uhles, the father of Amy J. Porter to Thompson Wright. No deed was found and no recording of the deed was found. Defendants sold the land to Jacob Eller in 1867, and claimed title through adverse possession. Plaintiffs claimed no land sale because Mrs. Porter's mother, Mrs. M. J. Lakes Uhles, was a minor and could not consent to it.

Court of Origin: Unknown. County: Unknown.

Graham received a tax deed and the validity of title is in dispute. The tax deed is dated Dec. 1867. The deed is made prima facia of the facts required by the applicable law (Act of 1843, Sect. 623-630). Hightower et al. v. Freedle established that land reported only for the non-payment of taxes resulted in a void deed.

Additional defendants: Levi Brown and James Eddington. Reynolds sued the defendants to recover a plot of land in Knox County. Reynolds received this land from the estate Rebecca J. Reynolds in 1865. The defendants were granted a title to the same plot of land in 1871.
