You can check Betty Camin's web to see if any of your family has Bastardy Bonds in Burke http://home.earthlink.net/~bcamin/betty.htm

Burke had a courthouse fire so you may have children born out of wedlock without a bastardy bond record. I only know of the Bastardy Bonds being issued in NC. You would have to check with other states to see if they had bastardy bonds laws. My family never moved from NC so I have never checked other states
