I recently had the pleasure of paging through one of the dockets of Peter Thompson, Justice of the Peace for Fox Township in Elk County, PA from at least 1849- 1873. I came across some rather interesting entries (quite a bit of fighting way back then!), but the entries that I found most intriguing were the bastardy bonds sworn out by those young women of Fox Twp who found themselves pregnant and unmarried against the fathers of the babies that they carried. Realizing that this could change the entire complexion of someone's Fox Township family tree, I thought it might be a good idea to make this information available to those who were researching these families. But due to the sensitive nature of these entries, I am asking that you ~~e-mail me privately~~ for the info, and ONLY if you have a genuine interest in and are researching the families involved. Those involved are (in no particular order): MALES Patrick Malone David Pontious Adam Miller of St. Marys, PA FEMALES Catherine Dollinger Anna Kemmerer Emma Keller
