Beauchamp Et Al. v. Beauchamp Et Al‪.‬

LONG, Justice. J. W. Beauchamp, deceased, was married three times. There were children born to each of said marriages. All of the wives of J. W. Beauchamp are dead. This suit to partition a tract of land in Jones County was brought by the heirs of J. W. Beauchamp, deceased, and his first and second wives, against the heirs of J. W. Beauchamp and his third wife. It is undisputed that the land was the community property of J. W. Beauchamp and his third wife. In the trial court the defendants claimed title to the property under the ten years statute of limitation. Vernon's Ann.Civ.St. art. 5510. The trial court, based upon a finding by the jury that the defendants had held peaceful and adverse possession of the property for a period of more than ten years, rendered judgment that the defendants recover title to and possession of the land involved. From this judgment the plaintiffs have appealed.
