Text: After acquiring the land in the 1963 deed, the Cowans built a driveway connecting their home on Lot 1 to the road that ran across part of the disputed land. Ellen Cowan affied that the Cowans used the remainder of the thirty-foot (30') right-of-way ... in the same manner as the rest of [their] propertyas an area for the children to play, to grow flowers, to park cars, etc. In addition, Ellen Cowan affied that Sharon Yeisley attempted to use the disputed land twice, but that she stopped when the Cowans advised her she was trespassing. Ellen also affied that the Cowans saw various surveyors on their property from 1979 to 1981 and that they would ask the surveyors to leave or chase them off. In 1986 the Cowans brought suit for quiet title after Sharon Yeisley hired contractors to build on the disputed land in 1984. Sharon did not follow through on her plans to develop the land, and the Cowans' lawsuit was dismissed for lack of prosecution. In January 2006 Sharon Yeisley conveyed a portion of her property to Gerald and Cherryle Byron (the Byrons).
