According to Sandi Gorin's Kentucky research tips at http://www.rootsquest.com/~jmurphy/lessons/lessons.htm the Madison County Clerk's office has bastardy cases from 1865 on. Does anyone know how we could find more information? For example, is there a list that can be searched? Where could we write or call for a copy of a bond? The birth in which I am interested is: Mother: Cynthia BOWLIN Child: Ella Nora BOWLIN b. 10 Oct. 1884 Possible father: William HIGGINBOTHAM Thanks for any leads!
