Partition dispute over 100 acre grant in Texas 1843 case
In 1843 Abner Lee sought partition of 100 acres held by his granddaughter Margaret under a trust. A court partition divided the tract, granting the east half to the elder Nellie and the west toward the courthouse to Margaret. Abner Lee later petitioned for sale of the 100 acres for his minor daughter, and a sale was ordered. The title to Margaret’s share and the legality of the sale are disputed amid a large local property map and a host of neighbors and claimants in the area near Independence Road and the courthouse.
