In Plan Book 59, Page 3. (emphasis added to area 01 boundary along lands 01 Messrs. Tippett and Slack). 42. Said description along Plaintiff's boundary and Delendant's alleged boundary has resulted In an adverss claim on record to Plaintiff's property In that the Delendant's claimed boundary line clearly crosses the long established and clear real boundary line between Plaintiff and Delendant as Is shown on Exhibit F. 43. As a result 01 the above stated errors and lalse claims to an Improper and unlawlul boundary, there Is a cloud upon Plaintiff's title. 44. The said cloud renders the said Plaintiff's said property less than marketable In that II exposes the Plaintiff, or any assignee, grantee, devisee. or the like 01 the Plalntlflto the hazards 01 litigation. 13 '0"" "" I. ,,) r~ r.\, .\'1 r " ,b vl 1/ I 'f I'i, I " , I,) ", " , , (II '/ ,,--: C../ I , 'II:' ( ..' ,il "I , r ,: " I) ,0 ",I. ) : I, t) ,.~ , ~~ ,,\J o . \ \..\.\.' 0\) ~l\.O\,\. _.
