"Dinah Sour ... left surviving her, as her only heirs at law, her two children Stephen Collins and Lucinda Gordon.... In 1882 Stephen Collins died intestate, leaving as his only heirs at law his widow, Annie (or Anna) and their son William H. Collins, each of whom took by inheritance an undivided one-half of the property left by Stephen Collins." (The case evaluates whether Anna's later born son Ned took any of this inheritance when she passed in 1894.)
