Heading: the hoskins heirs title

Text: The Hoskins Heirs also trace their chain of title back to the Henry. M. Lewis patent through alleged conveyances from his children. These deeds purport to convey the children's, or their successors, remaining interest in the Henry M. Lewis 500 acre Patent No. 8158. For example, the deed from Hampton Lewis to James Hoskins, dated February 15, 1897, conveys Hampton Lewis's undivided interest in Patent No. 8158, which then states: reference is also, made to the deed made by the Heirs of Henry M. Lewis to Silas Boggs for land on the right fork of Lewis Creek which is to be excluded. . . . The August 26, 1903, conveyance from A.B. Culton, Mary R. Jarvis, et ux., M.R. Culton, and J.M. Culton, et ux., purports to convey an undivided one-half interest in the disputed tract, to-wit: on the waters of Rockhouse fork of Greasy . . ., containing 155.58 acres, and being a part of and wholly embraced within in and by the Henry M. Lewis 500 acres grant # 8158. . . . Felix Lewis also conveyed all [his] undivided interest in and to Patent No's 8158 . . ., excepting the lands heretofore sold to Silas Boggs by the Henry M. Lewis Heirs. . . . Importantly, if the heirs of Henry M. Lewis had in fact already conveyed the full boundary of Patent No. 8158 to Silas Boggs extending over onto Rockhouse Creek, there could be no part of the patent left to convey in subsequent deeds. [5] The Hoskins Heirs allege that each of the Henry M. Lewis children's interests was eventually conveyed to A.J. Asher and W.J. Hodges through a series of conveyances from 1887 through 1907 and that C.W. Hoskins ultimately purchased their interest in May of 1941. This interest was later conveyed by his heirs into the C.W. Hoskins Heirs Partnership in 1987.
