Sorry, it was the 1800 census. Linda Atkins

I'm researching the family of James Haire and Mary. They came to York from Antrim, Ireland around 1788. The 1790 census shows they had, if my memory is correct, 3 daughters and 1 son. The son, James Arthur Haire, was born a few months after they immigrated. He married Mary Brown McDonald, daughter of William McDonald from Chester County around 1814 and they moved to Monroe County, TN. I would love to know his sisters names. Also, James Haire had a sister, Martha Haire/Hair married James Crawford of York County. I'm interested in both families. Can anyone help me find a will for my James Haire? I think he died around 1812. Linda Atkins

I have seen your inquiries about Cortes Parker several times on the net and thought you might want to see this note that Ed furnished to me concerning one of my family members. It does mention you Cortes Parker. Hope you are not offended. Jerry Childers Notes from the Bastard files of York County, South Carolina: (furnished by Ed Stewart) York District: Be it remembered that on this twenty eighth day of February, AD one Thousand Eight hundred and fifty three, James Childers, Cortious A. Parker and William C. Black all of the district of York and state aforesaid personally came before me, Abraham Hardin, a magistrate within and for the district aforesaid and acknowledge themselves to owe to the State of South Carolina the sum of three hundred dollars to be levied of the respective goods and chattels lands and Tenements to the use of the commissioners of the poor of the aforesaid district.

Taken and acknowledge the day and date above written before me: A. Hardin magistrate Attest to the marks: Ira Hardin James X Childers Cortious X Parker William X Black

Cortes Parker, like all found guilty of bastardy , would be responsible for the financial care of the child until the child was a certain age (10 years is typical but it could vary district by district). The county commissioners were charged with enforcing the law and mostly for the purpose of keeping the child being a public charge, in which case the child would be placed at the "poor farm". These would be those children too young to be apprenticed. York District had a "poor farm" and there were annual reports made by the person in charge to the Court of General Sessions (if I recall correctly). Also, the Yorkville Enquirer, from 1856, printed the annual reports of "Commissioners of the Poor." It was generally a report of money spent and the income from the farm and I don't believe identified bastards. I might add that years ago the State Archives published a listing of all the microfilms of local government records for all the 46 counties. York County's listing included "Bastardy Bonds and Papers, 1838-1928, Roll # C2105." I ordered the reel but only received a letter that basicly said that such a microfilm did not exist. Somewhat later I asked a person who had worked at the archives to check into this again and was told that the records existed but were sealed because a member of the legislature (the name was not given to me) had had the records put under seal--presumably because he had an ancestor involved in a bastardy case. I hasten to say that I do not know if this is true or just one of those stories that float around institutions... However, some of the bastardy cases did get into other cases for various reasons and if you delve into court records long enough you will stumble upon such cases.
