Before the sale by II., both he and D. had received conveyances from the original grantee, but the conveyance to D. was the oldest, and H. knew that D. claimed the land when he, II., received his conveyance. The conveyance to D. was not of record when H. sold the land. Held, that H. and his vendees, when they respectively took their conveyances, were purchasers with actual notice of the rights of D., and that the latter was entitled to recover the land from them.</p>
