I thought that you might like to read the Introduction. 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.
