I~ ' ;, ' 5 11 ANALYSIS OF TITLE TRACT NO. 231, I~~ · Tract No. 231 is now owned by w. a. B. Messer, and 513 ~s totally embraced by State Grant No. 252 which was issued by the State to john Gray Blount. As we have treated state Grant No. 252 by mesne conveyances from the time said grant was issued, up, through and inolud• ins the time said grunt passed by the last will and testament of James R. Love to his executors, the same will not be repeated in this analy­sis, but may be seen by reference to the analysis of the Sidney Nelson tract• beginning with paragraph l ,of said analysis, and endiilg with paragraph 10, page 3 of this abstract, 13 .f 7 II. Tr$Ot No. 231 is embraced by two tracts deeded from the Love Speculation land. The first tract we will oo~s~der is a tract containing 50 acres deeded by the Love executors to A. c, and w. J. Bennett. This deed is duly recorded in the office of the Register of Deeds ror Tiaywood County. see page J) J- .J or this abstract. III. On Msy 28, 1872, the executors of James R. Love con-veyed to F, M, Bennett, w. j, Bennett, G. D. 1 .• Bennett and A. c. Ben­nett a tract containing 100 aor~s. which embraces a portion. of tract No. 231. This deed is duly recorded in Haywood County. See page cfl~ t of this abstract. IV •· Thereafter, Matilda Bennett ( F, M. Bennett) died intestate and lett surviving he:r as her only heirs at law, her sons; A, c, Bennett, w. :r. Bonnett and G. D. L. Bennett. See a ffidavit on page .6- L-1} of this abstract. 514 v, The next instrument we have been able to find atteot• ing Tract ,No., 231 is in a deed from A. c. BOnnett to w, o. B. Messer, which deed bears date of october 20•. 1915,. We notice that this deed does not show whether or nat A~ c. Bennett was unmarried at the date ot this deed. We have obtained an af:f'ioovit to the effect that A. c. Ben• nett was unmarried on October 20, 1915. see page ..,?7-/l ,or this abstract. This deed is ot record in Haywood county. See page .fi' )...b of this abstract. vr. We have been unable to find tram the records a con-veyance from w. J. Bennett -or G. D. ·1. Bennett for their interest in Tract No. '231. This leaves a two-thirds undivided interest outstanding in Traot N'o. 231 1n w. J. Bennett and o. D. L. Bennett. It will• there­fare, be necessary to obtain a qui tolaim deed for Tract No. 231 from W. :r. 'and o. D, Lt Bennett • VII. Sinoe we are partially depending upon possesmon tor title to tra.ot No. 2311 we have obtained affidavits or possession* said affidavits ·may be seen by reference to page_ _.. . . .. through.__ __o t this abstract. VIII. surveyor's affidavit on this tract may be seen by -4 reference to page £4-t 1St this abstract. -2- I "---../ IX, In regard to subJect ~tter ot paragraphs v.vi and VII above1 It is impractical to secure quit claim deed for the outstanding interest of G.D.L.Bennett in these lands. In fs much as the deed mentioned ln paragraph v ,A. c. Bennett to w.a.B.Uesser,was not filed :for reool"d until April 2;1928,ell!fio1ent time has not elapsed to mature title in Messer under color or by adverse possession. The.refore a dondemnation proceeding entitled.The state of l'iorth Carolina vs w.G.B.iesser and his wif e,Rachel Messer . - ~~ et al.has been put through in the Super.or Oour'\ of Buncombe Coun:tiy to clear up th-~ above indicated defe~ts 1n the title ~~~-:};- to this tract of land. 09pies of this proceeding should be secured and. made a part of this abstract. 516 ANALYSIS OF TITLE I. Tract No-. 23l•a is now owned by Rachel M. Messer,. wife of w,. G~ B. Messer, and is totally embraced by state Grant }fo~ 252 which v;as issued by the state to John Gray Blount. .As vte have t~eated State Grant No. 252 by mesne conveyances f:tom the time said grant was issued, up, t hl"ough and including the time said grant passed by the last will and testament of James R,. Love to his executors. the same will not be repeated 1n this analysis, but may be seen by reference to the analysis of the Sidney Nelson tract, beginning with paragraph 1 of said analysis, and ending with paragraph 10; page 3, of this abstract. ok. '? II. Tract No. 23l•a is embraced by two tracts deeded from the Love Speculation Lands to D~ J. Cook. T'.ae first instrument we will consider is a deed from the executors of James R, Love to D.
