(1) No action shall be brought under or by virtue of an adverse, interfering entry, survey or patent to recover the title or possession of land from an occupant if he, or the person under whom he claims, has a connected title thereto in law or equity, deducible of record from the Commonwealth, and has an actual occupancy of it by settlement thereon, under such title, for seven (7) years before the commencement of the action. This possession of land shall bar the right of entry into it by any person, under an adverse title or claim, and sufficient possession to bar the right to recover it shall vest the title in the occupant or his vendee.
(2) The provisions of subsection (1) of this section shall not apply to a person who is an infant, of unsound mind or out of the United States in the employment of the United States or of this state at the time the cause of action accrued, until seven (7) years after the removal of such disability. The disability of one (1) of several claimants shall save only his own right, and not that of another.
