Ohio Supreme Court December 15, 1827 (Lessee of McCoy v. Galloway)

By the Court :

The lessor of the plaintiff has the first entry, and the eldest, patent, he must, therefore, recover, if his patent covers the land in the possession of the defendant, or any part of it.

The southwest, or beginning corner of Bussell’s survey, under which the plaintiff claims, is sufficiently established. The south boundary line, running east from that corner, is also proved.
