Feudal Estates
> Yes, and a major factor in much of the population of the Mohawk Valley supporting the English during the revolution.
As I recall, wasn't there an attorney named Alexander Hamilton who helped the landowners collecting rents from all their tenants to figure out how to perpetuate the scheme, keeping it alive well into the mid 19th century in parts of New York? I know he figured into things somehow, but can't recall the details.
Feudal Estates
I don't remember the details, but I think those that were jailed had to sign documents declaring fealty to the revolution and requiring rents for a certain number of years to prove it, in order to avoid treason prosecutions. Some also avoided by being pressed into service. But I could be wrong, I think most eventually migrated further west, south or to canada after release.
You are wrong again, McMillan
You're breaking new ground, Richard, if you don't distinguish the key element as being not the land itself but the land tenure system within which rights are created and recognized.
Land parcels created under a feudal ayatem do not remain under a feudal system when the gov't regulating the land changes to an allodial system.
That is why Sec 16 of the Texas Civil Procedures and Remedies Act is the law of the land in Texas and must be understood and obeyed by both land owners and surveyors.
Once the land became allodial, the owners authority and responsibility superceeded any supposed 'gov't control' based on feudal law.

Don't Forget notarized acknowledgment!
The case Mr Robison quotes seems to confirm the fact that legal parcels of land can be created by: "Every mode of passing realty by the act of the party, as distinguished from passing it by the operation of law.", which is refered to in the definition of Alienation in Black's dict.

LOL! You and Judo Faintbrother missed the fact that the absence of an acknowledgment before a notary only disqualified the instrument from record. It was otherwise a legally sufficient conveyance in writing that was binding on the grantor.
Your post is irrelevant and immaterial, mcmillan
Why do you have so much trouble with Atty Judon Fambroughs name?
You need to be careful, Wendell might just delete your belittling posts if you can't 'play nice'. You wouldn't want some other person to refer to you as a 'bufoon' again, would you?
Rest Begards
