| View Entry | 1851 | J& J Lafferty v. Thomas H. Conn | Grainger | Ejectment- Unlawful Detainer |
In 1847 Lafferty purchased land from Edmond Collins in Grainger County. The sale was not registered with the sheriff, & the tenants of the land were not notified of the sale. The suit argues that because of these details the sale was void, & land ownership was still rightly Conn's. |
