In Williams v. McConico, 36 Ala. 22, the deed was to "my said daughter, and the heirs of her body forever," and also contained a recitation that the grantor wished to make permanent support for his daughter "and her children."

In Williams v. McConico, 25 Ala. 538, a motion was made to dismiss an appeal to the Supreme Court, which was denied because appellant's evidence raised the presumption that his bond was in fact received and accepted by the judge of probate at the time the appeal was taken from that court, notwithstanding the written approval of that judge indorsed on the obligation as of a different date.
