Hi, That was the very first thing that came to my mind. And frankly it's a good thing, too, for if there were not a lot of it going on back then, I and a whole lot of Dugger family descendants would not be here today. In my case we have Lydia Dugger and Marmarduke Cheatum to thank for their 3 out of wedlock children and we know they were since she was hauled into court and heavily fined for bastardry three times I believe. I suspect the same applies to many families in this country.
