  • If a husband seized of an estate of

      the  lands given, or of those taken, in exchange; and if her election be
      not evinced by the commencement of an action to recover her dower of the
      lands given in exchange, within one year after the death of her husband,
      she is deemed to have elected to take her dower of the lands received in
      exchange.
