Court of Appeals of Virginia October 22, 1802 (Allen v. Harrison)

ROANE, Judge.

In this cause, two questions occur;

1. Whether the descent law of 1785 was in force, or not, at the time of Wm. Allen’s death, which happened in 1783 ?

2. Whether the statute, respecting wills, of 1785, operating upon the will of the said Wm. Allen, will pass his lands acquired after the date thereof ?
