Normally, other information relative to this case would be brought up in the County Court Minutes, however, Buncombe Couty Courthouse suffered a fire in 1865, which destroyed the court minutes from 1825 through 1835.
In cases like the above, the name and sex of the child is never disclosed. Its last name would be the same as its mother unless later changed.

Source of the Bastardy Bond is based on the book, "North Carolina Bastardy Bonds" by Betty and Edwin Camin. The book just mentioned used its sole source the bastardy bond made up in each county when it was determined that a child born out of wedlock was likely to be dependent in Buncomde County records, Bastardy Bonds and Records, 1824-1829.
