Description
The appellants, plaintiffs below, on April 1, 1975, brought this cause of action originally, apparently, in the form of a trespass to try title suit, in the District Court of Marion County, Texas. The appellants are boards and chapters of the Texas Society of the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution. In the initial pleadings there were member chapters and individual plaintiffs acting on behalf of the number chapters of the Texas Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution. This litigation encompassed, at an earlier time, approximately fifty-two (52) chapters and approximately several hundred individuals as plaintiffs. The defendants were Mrs. F. Hastings Pannill, Mrs. Claire McElroy, Mrs. Georgia B. Edman and Mrs. Kenneth Wickett, who were the respective regents (presidents) and treasurers of the Texas Society of the D.A.R. from 1973 to 1979. Mrs. Virginia Battle DeWare, Jesse M. DeWare, IV, and Diane Ellen DeWare Bumpus, were also defendants, who had purchased certain real property, improvements and personal property known as the Freeman Plantation or the Freeman Plantation House (being an historical house) from the Texas Society. Mr. C. Leland Hamel, a former counsel of the Texas Society, was also a defendant in a second lawsuit. The relief for which the petition pleaded was to set aside and cancel the deed and sale of the Freeman Plantation to the DeWares and to recover pecuniary damages alleged to have been sustained by the Texas Society of the D.A.R. in connection with the sale of the Freeman Plantation or Freeman Plantation House.
