      > That the said Mary Herd, in the said will mentioned, was the natural, illegitimate daughter of the testator, by the said Elizabeth Herd. That the said Mary Herd died under the age of sixteen, unmarried, intestate, and without issue. That the plantation on which the testator lived, consisted of several tracts of land, the whole of which amounted to 157 acres. That the dwelling house was not on the tract of land called Saint Margaret's, but that Saint Margaret's, and the other tracts, composed and made but one plantation, and was occupied and possessed as one entire tract. That a warrant of escheat issued to affect the said land in the name of John Allen Thomas, who by his will duly executed, devised the same to the lessor of the plaintiff, who obtained a patent therefor prior to the commencement of this action for the said land, by the name of Chance.
