Indiana. I also possess this death cerificate. (I appreciate you sending this). He was raised by his mother Lois Virginia Batson and later on a step-father, Isaac Bunce. My question has to do with were I can access or request what indiana used to call "bastardy proceedings" as Lois Virginia Batson did not marry Seth's father and he has not been identified in any of the records I possess. Can anyone answer that question? Thanks for any insight! Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
