ANTHONY T. WILSON et al. (Court of Chancery Appeals of Tennessee. Jan. 20, 1901.) PARTITION—TITLE TO SUPPORT—LIMITATIONS —DISMISSAL. Complainant in partition claimed title under decree in 1804 directing sale of an interest of certain heirs in realty. The decree recited a conveyance by a widow of her dower interest to complainant's intestate, who had also purchased the remainder interest of the heirs, and that the latter had obtained a decree setting aside the sale of such interest and allowing a lien thereon, and ordered it sold to repay the purchase money. Previous to such decree in 18li8 such dower int»rest was sold under a decree, and purchased by K„ which sale was duly confirmed. In 1874, K. purchased the remainder interest of such heirs under power of attorney duly executed by them, and in 1880 conveyed the land to defendant, who continued in possession. There was no lien on the heirs' interest to he enforced, as was recited by the decree of J894. Held that, as K. acquired both the dower estate and the remainder interest of the heirs, which gave him the fee, limitations began to run from that time, and hence, complninant acquiring no title other than such as the heirs had by his purchase under the decree of 1804, his suit was properly dismissed.

: Alabama and its Neighbors Greene County was named for General Nathaniel Greene, a Rhode Island hero of the American Revolution, who led our troops at Guilford and Eutaw Springs and retook Charleston. Greene county was formed on 13 December 1819 from parts of Marengo (formed 1818) and Tuscaloosa (formed 1818) counties and from Indian land from the Choctaw Cession of 1816. Many men who came down the Natchez Trace with Andrew Jackson for the Battle of New Orleans in January 1815 went back through central Alabama looking for land. Since settlers may have arrived there as early as 1812, records of the parent counties could have some information on these first families. Blessed with fertile soil and level or rolling land, Greene County was the primary Alabama County for agriculture as late as 1845. Greene County is one of several Central west and Southwest Alabama Counties that were occupied by white settlers as soon as land was made available by Federal Treaty. Although there are no records to substantiate early occupation, Federal records indicate that title was granted for Greene County parcels of land as early as 1812 (note: this could be Greene Co. MS). Some occupation was possible from Spanish and French settlements to the South. In fact, the French Colony at Demopolis from 1818 to 1830 was said to have extended into parts of Greene County. Pickens County was formed in 1820 from Tuscaloosa County, Sumter County was formed in 1832 from the Choctaw Indian Cession of 1830 and Hale County was formed in 1867 from Greene, Marengo, Perry and Tuscaloosa Counties. A census of the Mississippi Territory was taken in 1816 in preparation for establishing the state of Mississippi and a separate territory of Alabama. Much of this census was lost, but the following Statistics for Counties in Alabama are recorded in the Territorial Papers of the United States: County Name -- Free Whites - Free Colored - Slaves - Baldwin 436 43 684 Clarke 2767 16 1334 Madison 10000 0 4200 Mobile 666 0 334 Monroe 3625 72 1609 Washington 1888 0 671 Total 19382 131 8148
