Description
MILLIKEN, Justice. This is an action in equity, seeking a declaration of rights under a deed executed on November 24, 1928, by T. J. Sword, grantor, to Lawrence and Jenny Sword, grantees. T. J. Sword, now deceased, during his lifetime owned approximately 290 acres of land located on Island Creek in Pike County, Kentucky. All of the mineral rights of this land, except those of a 70-acre tract, had been sold. The decedent during his lifetime made a division of this land among his five children and deeded them each a tract of land. He deeded Lawrence and his wife, Jenny, the appellants herein, the 70-acre tract on which he still owned the mineral rights. The pertinent portions of that deed, insofar as the mineral rights are concerned, are as follows: 'The party of the first part hereby excepts the coal, from the above described property, which mineral is to be divided equally among his said children, Martha Sword, Addie Damron, Lawrence Sword, Cleveland Sword and Robert Sword.
