Garrett, 75 Va. 129, 135 (1880).
“Seisin in fact or in deed, as Lord Coke calls it, or actual seisin, means possession of the freehold by the pedis position of one’s self, or one’s tenant or agent, or by construction of law, as in case of a commonwealth’s grant, a conveyance under the statute of uses, or, doubtless, of grants or devises, where there is no actual adverse occupancy.” Seim v. O’Grady, 42 W. Va. 77 (1896).
