JEANNE WAGNER
LINCOLN COUNTY CLERK, KEMMERER, WY
AFFIDAVIT CONCERNING RECORDED INSTRUMENTS
000391
ROSS D. JACKSON, being fIrst duly sworn upon oath, deposes and affirms that the
following information is true and correct to the best of his knowledge and belief:
1. That I am of the age of 87 years and have been a resident of Rich County, State
of Utah, my entire life.
2. That my father's name was Frank Jackson, now deceased, and our family has
been engaged in the cattle business as long as I can remember and own and control lands in Rich
County, State of Utah, where our Ranch Headquarters is located and where our cattle are fed
bay in the winter and lands in Uinta and Lincoln Counties, State of Wyoming, where our cattle
graze during the summer grazing season about May 1 through October 15.
3. That I am familiar with Uinta Land & Grazing Company, a Corporation organized
in about the year 1908, under the laws of the State of Wyoming and was qualified to do business
in the State of Utah.
4. That said Uinta Land & Grazing Company owned and during its existence
continued to acquire suqstantial acreage in Uinta and Lincoln Counties, Wyoming, including
lands owned by M.J. Hatch hereinafter referred to, where the shareholders of Uinta Land &
Grazing Company grazed their cattle during each summer grazing season about May 1 through
October 15 of each year.
5. That said Frank Jackson, prior to his death on December 6, 1969, was President
of Uinta Land & Grazing Company for many years and I worked closely with him during his
tenure as such President beginning about 1939, and continuing to about 1958.
6. That I was elected a Director of Uinta Land & Grazing Company in about 1965
and in such capacity was familiar with it's books and records. In 1985, I was elected Secretary
of Uinta Land & Grazing Company and in 1986 said Company was restructured into Bell Butte
Grazing Partnership, a Wyoming Limited Partnership, and I was elected an Assistant Managing
Partner in Bell Butte Grazing Partnership and still serve as such Assistant Managing Partner at
this time.
000392
7. That on or about April 3, 1941, Joseph E. Hatch and Katie Hatch, his wife,
conveyed by Warranty Deed, certain lands in Lincoln County, Wyoming, including lands
described as the NEl/4NWl/4, NEl/4 and El/2 of the SEl/4 of Section 30, Township 19
North, Range 119 West, 6th P.M., to their son, M.J. Hatch of Randolph, Utah, and said Deed
was recorded December 18, 1975, in Book 162PR, Page 426, records of the Lincoln County
Recorder at Kemmerer, Wyoming. A copy of said Deed marked Exhibit "A" is annexed hereto
and by this reference made a part hereof.
8. That ¥.J. Hatch also owned certain land in Lincoln and Uinta Counties,
Wyoming, and in the spring of 1941, sold all of the real property owned by him, including the
property conveyed to him by said Joseph E. Hatch and Katie Hatch, his wife, under Paragraph
7, above to said Uinta Land & Grazing Company under an Agreement of Sale and Purchase and
Uinta Land & Grazing Company paid said M.J. Hatch a valuable consideration for the land and
properties and said M.L Hatch and Delora B. Hatch, his wife, conveyed the property to Uinta
Land & Grazing Company by Warranty Deed dated May 23, 1941, which was recorded on June
9, 1941, in Book 22 of Deeds, Page 428, records of Lincoln County, Wyoming. A copy of said
Deed marked Exhibit "B" is also annexed hereto and by reference made a part hereof.
9. That said Deed from M.J. Hatch dated May 23, 1941, erroneously described
certain of the lands as being theNWl/4 oftheNWl/4 of Section 30, Township 19 North, Range
119 West, 6th Principal Meridian instead of the NEl/4 of the NWl/4 of said Section 30,
described in the said Deed dated April 3, 1941, from Joseph E. Hatch and Katie Hatch, his
wife, to said M.J. Hatch.
10. That said Warranty Deed from Joseph E. Hatch and Katie Hatch to M.J. Hatch
contained a typing strike-over which indicated the "NE1I4 of the NWl/4" could possibly be read
as the "NWl/4 of the NWl/4". This confusion created by the typing strike-over was the cause
of the error in the Warranty Deed dated May 23, 1941, from M.J. Hatch and Delora B. Hatch,
who conveyed title to all of the real property in Lincoln County, Wyoming, by Warranty Deed
to Uinta Land & Grazing Company.
11. That the NWl/ 4NWl/ 4 of said Section 30, was and is Federal land and was never
owned by Joseph E. Hatch and Katie Hatch and therefore they could not have legally conveyed
the title to this property to M.J. Hatch.
12. That it was the intent and purpose of Joseph E. Hatch and Katie Hatch to convey
and they did convey the NEl/4NWl/4 and not the NWl/4NW1I4 of said Section 30, Township
19 North, Range 119 West, 6th P.M., to said M.L Hatch.
13. That Uinta Land & Grazing Company has paid all of the taxes assessed against
the NEl/4 of the NWl/4 of said Section 30, to the date of this Affidavit.
14. That the NEl/4NWl/4 of said Section 30, has been claimed and owned by Uinta
Land & Grazing Company and it's successor in interest, Bell Butte Grazing Partnership a
Limited Partnership, all. of the many years since 1941 and no other party or parties have ever
claimed any ownership interest in the said NE1I4 of the NWl/4 of said Section 30.
000393
15. That pursuant to Section 34-11-101 of the Wyoming Code, t1ùs affidavit is
recorded in order to.. clarify and correct the ambiguity created by the strike-over in the said
Warranty Deeds from Joseph E. Hatch and Katie Hatch to M.J. Hatch and the Warranty Deed
from M.J. Hatch to Uinta Land & Grazing Company so it is clear on the records that Uinta
Land & Grazing Company was and is the rightful and lawful owner of the NEl/4 of the NW1/4
of said Section 30, Township 19 North, Range 119 West, 6th P.M., Lincoln County, Wyoming.
That further Affiant sayeth not.
