solely seised, at any time during the coverture, of an estate in fee or in
tail, in possession, and to which estate in the lands and tenements, the
issue, if any, of such widow might, by possibility, have inherited. Watk.

dower at common law.
2. Besides this, in England there are three other species of dower now
subsisting; namely, dower by custom, which is, where a widow becomes
entitled to a certain portion of her husband's lands in consequence of some
local or particular custom, thus by the custom of gavelkind, the widow is
entitled to a moiety of all the lands and tenements, which her husband held
by that tenure.

5. There was another kind, de la plus belle, to which the abolition of

By an acceptance, by the wife, of a collateral satisfaction, consisting of
land, money, or other chattel interest, given instead of it by the husband's
will, and accepted after the husband's death. In these cases she has a right
to elect whether to take her dower or the bequest or devise. 4 Monr. R. 265;
5 Monr. R. 58; 4 Desaus. R. 146; 2 M'Cord, Ch. R. 280; 7 Cranch, R. 370; 5

7. In some of the United States, the estate which the wife takes in the
lands of her deceased husband, varies essentially from the right of dower at
common law. In some of the states, she takes one-third of the profits, or in
case of there being no children, one half. In others she takes the same
right in fee, when there are no lineal descendants; and in one she takes
two-thirds in fee, when there are no lineal ascendants or descendants, or
brother or sister of the whole or half blood. 1 Hill. Ab. 57, 8; see Bouv.
Inst. Index, h.t.
