Emma, Since you have the image number you can go to your local LDS (Latter Day Saints or Mormon) Church and if they don't have the microfilm they can order it for you and you can print a copy of the bond from the film. You can also use RAOGK http://www.raogk.org/listing.htm Click on North Carolina and then find someone in Wake County that can go to the archives and get you a copy there. Either way it will be accepted documentation. Good luck!

First of all I was under the totally mistaken impression rootsweb did not permit use of the word bastardy in any rootsweb list communication; hence, my use of B******* bonds. Thanks for showing me that info is not correct. Secondly, this is useful information, an elaboration on the sketch I had found. Thanks for taking time to send it. One thing clarified for me is that the unmarried woman's father or other close associate usually posted the bond. Thanks for taking time to send this information.

Hi list, Just wanted to let you know that in the past few days approx. 100 deeds have been added to the site. The majority of these deeds took place in 1782 & 1784. You should check them out and see if you have ties to any of them! Happy searching!

Billie, I just sent you an email in response to the one you sent to me and my email address was rejected by your server. Could you check into this for me? Thanks!

Fran, Thank you for posting this information regarding children born of "non-paternal events". Did the the link someone provided to you give any other way to reference the source other than it was extracted by Rick Frizzle? I have seen this process hold true in court records, but I hadn't seen a statement of the law before. I just wondered if he found that in court records or some document passed by the assembly.

Betty J. and Edwin A. Camin copiled a bood named North Carolina Bastardy Bonds. The book does not include any bonds from Bladen, Sampson or Duplin County. I thought that you might like to read the Introduction. NORTH CAROLINA BASTARDY BONDS The "Bastardy Bonds" of North Carolina are just as the title states -bonds posted because of the birth or impending birth of a bastard child. These bonds were intended to protect the county or parish from the expense of raising the child. It is asked that in reading this material the reader do so with love and understanding of the problems of these men and women. When the pregnancy of a woman or birth of a child was brought to the attention of the court, a warrant was issued and the woman brought into court. She was examined (questioned) under oath and asked to declare the name of the child's father. The reputed father was then served a warrant and required to post bond. If the woman refused to name the father, she, her father or some other interested party would post the bond. In some cases it was found that the mother and reputed father together posted the bond. If the woman refused to post bond or declare the father, she was often sent to jail. Occasionally it will be found that a womans name appears in the records several times. Refer to the Court Minutes to determine if this is for one or more cases of bastardy. This collection was started several years ago when the author was a resident of Raleigh where the extant bonds are located. These records came from either the actual bonds or bond books. For a more complete listing of the Bastardy Bonds of a particular county, it is suggested you read the county court minutes. Those bonds that have survived are only a very small percentage of the number recorded in the County Court and County Superior Court. The time period covered by this book is from the formation of a county to about 1878. It was felt that publishing anything more recent might be disturbing to some of our senior citizens. Only a handful of the North Carolina counties are covered in this book. The publishing of this material will provide one more full name index (22,000 names) to North Carolina. This will also help make people more aware of the information in the bonds and the possibility of locating linage through the use of this material. The author hopes that someone will record and publish the information from the remaining counties. The original material is in the state archives and due to the fact that the material has not been microfilmed, the work must be done in Raleigh. If you wish to have a copy of the original bond or bond book entry, it is suggested that you go to the North Carolina State Archives or hire a researcher to locate the paper. The North Carolina State Archives cannot do such research for you. Microfilm of the court records is available for a fee and this can usually be read in your local library and possibly donated to them when you finish with the film. As Margaret Hofmann once said in a class, "You haven't finished researching a county until you have read every piece of paper available and then read the adjacent counties". Reading the court minutes would be a good start in following her advice. Our grateful appreciation to James Van Comer for his work collecting the Bastardy Bond material from the Moore County Court Minutes. Every little bit of information is so important when you are dealing with a county with missing records. Margie
Charles O'Neill/O'Neal was in Bladen County by 1840 and was there enumerated on that year's census. I am asking for a lookup among the Bladen deeds abstracts please? Where was Charles' land and who were his witnesses (to the purchase/sale of lands)? Any help appreciated.
Thank you, Barbara. I do have a copy of that article. I just thought (hoped) perhaps there was more in the microfilm files. It does contain some good Dickson information. I recognize the name Barbara Boney Sheffield, but haven't "visited" that branch of the Dickson family for a while, so I can't recall just what I have about her. Libby
Hi Libby and others In regards to the article mentioned from A.T. Outlaw microfilm files concerning DICKSON, BRYAN and SLOAN surnames, I now recall that I sent this article in to the Duplin Co. GENWEB site long ago. I checked and it is on it under Duplin County Families. It is the article written in 1937. Hope you can find it. If not, let me know and I'll copy and paste it in a messae for you. I do not descend from the Dickson line, but am interested in it as the Barbara Boney Sheffield who md. as 2nd wife to Robert Dickson is my direct ancestor. I descend through her daughter Mary Sheffield who md. Edward Armstrong. Barbara S.
I too would be interested in anything concerning the DICKSON surname...Libby aka Elizabeth DICKSON Golbach
Hi Sloan, I checked the A.T. Outlaw index to the microfilm which I have and did not see anything on SLOAN or ROCHELLE. I did, however, see Sloan as part of a "Our Yesterdays" article (Scrapbook of local history and biography, newspaper clippings) titled "DICKSON/BRYAN/SLOAN." I might have a photocopy of this one because of the Dickson surname. I'll look it up and let you know if there is anything of interest to you. As I might have mentioned, I purchased these microfilm from the NC State Archives years ago. When I first got them I spent much time at the library reading through them. I sometimes took written notes and also made photocopies of some things. I don't know, but the film may be availabe for purchase today. I paid $14 a piece (there are 4 or 5 of them) then, but bet they would cost more now. I don't know if they can be gotten on inter-library loan or not, but that is a possibility also. I'm going to try and scan this Index for inclusion on the Duplin Co. GENWEB site so folks can try and get to the film if they find something of interest. BTW, my knee is doing fine at last--has taken about 3 weeks to stop hurting all the time. I'm just beginning to get up and about more. Seems like last time with my right knee, I was on the tennis court again in a couple of months! Hope I'm as lucky this time. Barbara S.
This was on the Eastern NOrth Carolina Digital Library.

C. Monk occurred Friday at Salisbury. . . .”
I am looking for information on John and Sarah Rose WEST, parents of Robert. Would like to correspond with anyone researching that family. Thanks. _____________________ >From the Sampson Democrat and date-lined September 12, 1895, Newton Grove: "Mr. Robert M.
