Legitimacy, Sexuality and Shame in the Court Records

of Orange County, North Carolina

1777 to 1868

Updated 6 Aug 2022

 

The goal of this work is to make publicthe extensive records of Orange County regarding women who gave birth without being married between 1777 and 1868. I do not intend to pass judgment on the individuals who are documented in this work.  It can occasionally be difficult to view these records without judgment, but I tried to do so. I think it is also important to point out that while there could have been any number of ways to present the data below, I chose to organize this data by the name of the woman who gave birth.  Presenting the data this way is not intended to bring shame on anyone. The records Orange County kept were much more consistent about documenting the mother’s name, than they were about the name of the father or the child.  Therefore, these records are organized around the most consistent data – the name of the mother.

However, in order to make this data easier to work with, each record is shown here twice – once under the mother’s name, and again under the father’s name. For example, you will find #263 in two places:

#263. Dishon, Fanny

as well as

           Griffis, Thomas #263

The number #263 on the left indicate that this is the mother’s name, while the number on the right indicates that this the second copy of the record, filed under the father’s name. That way, you can look at all people with the same or similar last names – whether mother or father – all in the same part of the book. Hopefully this will prove to be useful, rathe than confusing.

The significance of illegitimacy - legal and social

Children born out of wedlock were not considered legal heirs to their father. They could not inherit their father’s estate by intestacy. If their father had a will, they were never willed anything by their father. They stood to inherit nothing and they and their mothers were treated as social pariahs.  The modern (and ancient) usage of the word ‘bastard’ to mean that a person is of bad character is rooted in the ancient notion that a person born out of wedlock would necessarily be untrustworthy and of low moral character. Considering the reduced economic opportunities afforded to such people, this became a sort of self-fulfilling prophecy.

The societal contempt in which persons of illegitimate birth were held in this time is evident in the way that the court minutes make a fairly consistent practice of mentioning children’s illegitimacy when binding them as apprentices – even many years after their birth when that fact would seem to have been totally irrelevant. Not only do the minutes typically include references to “bastard” children, but they also often use the more dated (and more telling) term “base born.” Comparatively seldom do the court minutes use the third common term of that era – “natural child.” Likewise, the court minutes seem to me to be laden with contempt for the mother, as they often go out of their way to point out the unmarried status of the mother.

What is not here

The records which form the basis of this work are decidedly incomplete.  From 1777 to 1849, Orange County was about three times the size it is today geographically, and from 1849 to 1881 it was twice the size it is today. Likely some of the areas of the county that were further from Hillsborough were probably less actively subject to the enforcement of bastardy laws.

As well, it is clear that men of social and political prominence were in a position to keep reports of their illegitimate children quiet.  A woman who was unmarried and pregnant had the right to refuse to identify the father of her child (which as you will see below happened often enough), though by doing so she would be foregoing her right to collect child support from the father and she would be subjecting herself to prosecution for the crime of bastardy (with its consequent fines). A woman’s financial incentive was therefore to identify the father so that he would have to pay the bastardy fine as well as child support. In some cases women may have chosen not to follow the path of financial incentive because of privacy considerations, but it is also clear that in some cases wealthy men paid the women they impregnated not to identify them.  As well, no doubt, some men used violence (or the threat of it) to keep the women they had impregnated silent.

A prominent example of this is to be found at #747 below where the embarrassment of the father and his willingness to pay to keep the matter quite was explicitly discussed. It also seems notable that in a few cases there are incomplete or partial records regarding the out of wedlock children of notable men such as Congressman William F. Strudwick (#871) and Clerk of Court and Justice of the Peace Samuel Benton (#580 & #581).  It seems likely to me that the records are so incomplete for them because they (or their allies) destroyed some of the records.  On the other hand, some men of influence and wealth seem to have been less concerned with suppressing the record of their exploits, as for example another Justice of the Peace, Chesley F Faucett (#1 & #168). This may reflect a difference in the time period involved. Strudwick and Benton were in politics (and fathering illegitimate children) in the 1790’s, while Faucett was active in all the same pursuits in the 1820’s.

Two noted historical figures from Orange County are known to have been born out of wedlock – Governor William Woods Holden, and Doctor Samuel S Smith of Chapel Hill.  For both of these individuals, I did not find any records regarding their births.  In both cases, it seems likely that their fathers were wealthy and influential enough to be able to suppress the records on these two cases, though Jean B Anderson’s biography of Samuel S Smith in the Dictionary of North Carolina Biography supposes that his father was the abovementioned Congressman William F Strudwick – with its consequent incomplete record. I see no reason to doubt her conclusion, though this cannot be said definitively.

It is also clear that the Orange County courts initially considered free people of color to be outside the scope of North Carolina’s bastardy laws. Free people of color did not commonly avail themselves of the legal marriage process in the early years of Orange County. It is not clear whether this was because they were not interested in governmental sanction of their marriages or because they were not considered eligible to avail themselves of marriage bonds. Regardless of exactly why it was the case, I have found only isolated examples of free people of color obtaining marriage bonds prior to 1820.  By about 1830, it seems that free people of color commonly did obtain marriage bonds.  It may well be that this change was inspired by increasing application of bastardy fines to free people of color, as well as the increased practice of the local courts in (involuntarily) indenturing free children of color as apprentices following a change in North Carolina’s laws in 1826.  See the introduction to my companion volume to this one, Freedom Bound: Apprenticeship, Racism & Liberation in Orange County, North Carolina, 1777 to 1868.

People who were enslaved were not allowed to marry in the eyes of the law until after Emancipation. Children of enslaved women were not the subject of the kind of record keeping that gave rise to the data presented here.  Enslaved women certainly had children, but governmental records never reflected any information about that. While many enslaved women married (without paperwork), their bodies were for the most part under the control of the white people who enslaved them. It is clear that many, many enslaved women were compelled to have sex with their enslavers or other whites in positions of power over them, but never were the resulting out-of-wedlock births reflected in government records. See for example the ample evidence provided by Elizabeth Keckley in her book Behind the Scenes, or, Thirty years a Slave, and Four Years in the White House (New York: G. W. Carleton & Co., Publishers, 1868), as well as the family history of Pauli Murray as recounted in her book Proud Shoes: The Story of an American Family (New York: Harper & Row, 1978).  Also, it has been alleged that Wyatt Outlaw (Alamance County’s first African American public official) was the son of Chesley F Faucett and one of the women enslaved by the Outlaw family.  Orange County included all of Alamance County at the time of Wyatt Outlaw’s birth, but no information about this situation is to be found in these records.  However Chesley F Faucett fathered at least two other children (out of wedlock) by two white women and those records are to be found here – see #1 & #168 below. Later Faucett married Margaret Shutt[1] and had a large family with her.

Multiple Children Out of Wedlock

It seems clear that some of the out-of-wedlock births documented here were actually births that arose from long term relationships.  In many cases we see multiple births from the same mother with the same father identified.  Presumably these situations indicate that these parents were a couple for a long period of time, even though they were, for whatever reason, not married. In many other cases, we see a single record of a mother having a child out of wedlock with nothing more.

A third category of cases is those in which an individual man was identified as the father of multiple children by multiple different women (such as Chesley F Faucett, as mentioned above).  These Casanovas were no doubt a bit notorious in old Orange County, though it seems terribly unlikely that they were ostracized to the same extent as the women in the fourth category: mothers of children by multiple men.

Women with children from more than one man are to be found in these records more frequently than I had expected given my presupposed notions of social mores of that time.  In some cases these women may have believed in a different set of morals from the social norms of their times.  But it seems most likely to me that the shame and ostracization that attended having a child out of wedlock caused some women to feel that they had little choice about how their lives would go after the birth of their first child.

Having a child out of wedlock undoubtedly narrowed considerably the range of future marriage prospects for the mother. In this time period there were very few viable options for employment for women; and the opportunities for a woman to have a job and a small child at the same time were even fewer – particularly in cases where there was no network of family support.  For single mothers then, seeking to establish a domestic arrangement for themselves under almost whatever circumstances were available was likely the only available strategy.  I can well imagine that in many cases, women who ended up having multiple children by various fathers were doing so as a result of these sorts of circumstances.

The Curious Case of Sally Martin

In Aug 1831, two local Justices of the Peace issued a warrant to bring Sally Martin (#528) before them to be examined as to who was the father of her illegitimate child. At the examination on 9 Oct 1831, she confessed that the father was Sam, a man enslaved by Richard Freeman.  But using the Bastardy process alone was not enough for the Court. Less than a year later, in August 1832, Sally was indicted for maintaining “a disorderly house permitting and encouraging dissolute and evil disposed persons to meet there, and in said house to commit & carry on gambling, fornication & adultery…” The witnesses to be called against her were David Stout and John Stafford - both of them Cane Creek Quakers, suggesting that Sally Martin lived in what is now southern Alamance County, which was also the area where Sam’s enslaver Richard Freeman lived.

The two resulting summonses have notes on the back reporting that Sally Martin was ill in the winter of 1832-3 and could not be brought in “without endangering her life.”  When her case finally came to trial in Aug 1833, she was convicted of maintaining a disorderly house.[2]

Sally Martin’s race in both the 1850 and 1860 Census is left blank – a standard procedure for white persons. Apparently, the census taker considered her to be white. But Crystal Cavalier, an activist and genealogist from the Occaneechi Band of the Saponi Nation, tells me that Sally Martin was a very light skinned Native American originally from Chatham County.

Regardless of what her ethnicity actually was, it seems likely to me that the reason she was charged with more than mere Bastardy was that she was had engaged in (what the court considered) inter-racial sex. Either way, it seems clear that Sally Martin was not someone who bought into the expectations of white society regarding female sexuality. By 1860, she had moved to extreme northern Alamance County and was living with Abner Burnett, an ancestor of many members of the Occaneechi Band of the Saponi Nation.[3]

Procedure

The procedure used for enforcing bastardy laws in Orange County appears to have been this:

1.      Information would be provided to one of the neighborhood Justices of the Peace regarding the unmarried pregnancy of a woman in his neighborhood.

2.      The Justice of the Peace would issues a warrant to have the mother brought before two Justices of the Peace to enquire into who the father was.

3.      The woman would be brought before two Justices of the Peace to be questioned regarding the situation – usually at some location in the neighborhood (for example #127 specifically mentions that the examination was taken at the store of Samuel N Tate).

4.      She would either identify the father of the child or refuse to do so.

5.      A warrant would be issued to arrest the man identified (or the mother if she refused).

6.      The arrested party would post a bond to ensure that he (or she) would appear at the next Term of the Orange County Court of Pleas and Quarter Sessions (co-signed by two local landowners).

7.      The person charged with bastardy (the father if he was identified or the mother if she refused) would appear in court to face the charge. If he denied being the father, a trial would be decided by a jury.

8.      If he or she did not deny the charge (or if he did deny the charge and was found guilty) he or she would have to sign a “bastardy bond” promising to indemnify the county against any future public cost resulting from the child’s rearing. Again the bond would have to be co-signed by two local landowners.

9.      Failing to sign a suitable bastardy bond could result in imprisonment.

10.   A man who was found guilty at trial had the option of appealing the result and getting a new trial at one of the twice-a-year sessions of the Superior Court.  These sorts of appeals were expensive and were infrequently resorted to.

11.   A man found guilty of being the father would be ordered to pay child support in the amount of $4 for the pregnancy costs plus $10 per year for the first five years of the child’s life – after which it seems to have been anticipated that the child would be bound as an apprentice to some local tradesman or farmer.

12.   If he failed to pay the child support (which was common), the mother could sue to enforce the child support order, though she would typically need the assistance of a local lawyer which was no doubt costly.

It appears from looking through these records that many men did not bother to contest the charges and paid their fines and signed the required bonds. In an age before DNA tests, proving that a man was the father was very different than today, and it appears to me that the court largely took women at their word as to who the father was.  But in cases where the matter was contested, it appears that the matter was decided on the circumstantial evidence – whether the two were known to associate with one another, whether there was ever a time when the two were alone together, the general reputation of both parties, etc. In a very few cases, the apparent race of the child was used as evidence that the white man accused could not have been the father of the child (see for example #31 & #857).

Col: There is a case in which a young friend of mine is interested and about which he is pretty badly scared. There is a negro girl living at Dr Closs' named Pattie, daughter of Peter formerly slave of Judge Ruffin. The said Pattie is now pregnant and some magistrate in the neighborhood has informed her that she must declare the father of the child. This I want you to prevent by informing Pattie that she has a right to refuse on paying $5.00 and giving bond that the child shall not be a charge to the County. If you can find out which magistrate it is, say to him that the arrangement is already made with Pattie by the person I allude to for support of the child and she has been paid not to swear it. I want you to see that a bond is given, if required & the $5.00 paid and that the whole matter may be kept secret if possible. You will be indemnified in any amount you desire for any bond you may procure for Pattie. Please attend to this matter at once as I have promised my friend that the case shall not come to Court. Negro testimony is rather inconvenient to come who have been prowling around too promiscuously. Of course any cash or trouble you may be put to in this matter will be rewarded. The girl will not swear the child unless she is forced to it and I think we might let the young fellow go for what was done before negroes were allowed to testify. Please attend to this without fail as the young man who is afraid of being charged as "Papa" is quite uneasy and I have promised him he shall not be hurt. Yours very truly, John W Graham.
