delivered the opinion of the court.
Appellees, who are heirs at law of F. M. Woodstock, deceasеd, filed their hill in the chancery court of Piar *510 rison county against appellants to reform a deed from Roderick Seal to F. M. Woodstock exеcuted more than twenty years before the bill was filed. The cause was tried on bill, answer, and proofs, and a decree was rendered granting the rеlief prayed for in part. From that decree appellants prosecute this appeal.
The deed from Roderick Seal to Fl M. Woоdstock contained a void description of the land intended to be conveyed. The evidence amply showed that both parties to the deed intended to describe the land involved in this cause instead of that described in the deed.
The appellants contend, however, that, even though conceding that, as between the original parties, the grantee, F. M. Woodstock, was entitled to have the deed reformed, the appellees, his heirs, have no such right because the appellants occupy the position of bona-fide purchasers for value of the property without notice of the appellees’ rights. Appellants invoke the equitable principle that a purchaser for value of land, without notice, actual or constructive, will not be affected by a latent equity, whether such equitv be a lien, trust, or deed of conveyance1; that а deed which does not describe the land intended to be conveyed, сannot be reformed as against such a purchaser. The appellees concede the soundness of that principle of equity, but contend that it has no application to the facts of this case, beсause the appellants, and those through whom they claim title to the lаnd, had actual notice, or its equivalent, of the appellees’ rights whеn thev purchased the land.'
The evidence showed that the appellees! and those under whom thev claim title to the land, including their ancestor, F. M. Woodstock, had been in open, notorious, adverse possessiоn of a part of the land, claiming title thereto, since the conveyance from Roderick Seal to F. M. Woodstock; and, furthermore, that the сonveyance from Seal to Woodstock referred to a plat of this land *511 on file in the office of the chancery clerk of Harrison county, on which plat the land involved has been plainly marked, since said сonveyance, as the property of F. M. Woodstock.
Possession of land by one under claim of title is notice to the world of such claim. The rights оf such a claimant are protected against a bona-fide purchaser for value, although the evidence of his title be not of record. Breland v. Parker,
Here we have appellees and their predecessors in title in open, notorious possession of a part of thе land involved, claiming title thereto against the world, and, in addition, a plat оf the land on record in the chancery clerk’s office, which plat wаs referred to and made a part of the description of the land in thе conveyance from Seal to Woodstock, with the latter’s name written across it as the owner. We are of the opinion that those facts were sufficient to put subsequent purchasers of the land upon inquiry which, if pursued, would have led to the knowledge of the appellees’ rights. Reformation of a deed will be allowed not only as against the original parties and their privies, but also against purchasers from them with notice of their rights. 23 R¡. C. L. 339, -349, section 33.
We do not think the other questions argued are of sufficient gravity to call for a discussion by the court.
Affirmed.
