Ohio Supreme Court December 15, 1847 (Duke v. Thompson)

Hitchcock, J.

The complainant introduces in evidence, in this case, a patent bearing date August 30, 1841, by which the land sought to be divided was granted to himself and the heirs of Nathaniel Massie; and upon this evidence he claims the legal title to the land, and that it is his right to have the same partitioned, as prayed for in the bill.
