Pat: Doubt if any offical birth record is available, birth certificates were almost unknown in 1877. There is one possibility, I found some ledger type record (births/deaths) books for a county in Ohio I was interested in. These were micro-filmed courtesy of the Mormon Church. Perhaps a similar tpye of record may exist for the county you are interested in? Long shot, to be sure and would require some research to find. Perhaps worth the effort. Don
