Supreme Court of North Carolina March 15, 1898 (Scarboro v. . Scarboro)

Faircloth, C. J.:

The plaintiffs contend that they and the defendants are tenants in common and the defendants claim to be sole seized. The common ancestor was the owner of the land, and by deed in 1868 conveyed the same to the three defendants. He continued in possession until his death in 1878, and his wife continued in possession until her death in 1896.
