North Carolina Bastardy Bonds
By: Betty J Camin
Edwin A Camin
.
"The Bastardy Bonds of North Carolina are just as the title states - bonds posted because of the birth or impending birth of a bastard child. These bonds were intended to protect the county or parish from the expense of raising the child. It is asked that in reading this material, the reader do so with love and understanding of the problems of these men and women.
.
When the pregnancy of a woman or birth of a child was brought to the attention of the court, a warrant was issued and the woman brought into court. She was examined (questioned) under oath and asked to declare the name of the child's father. The reputed father was then served a warrant and required to post bond. If the woman refused to name the father, she, her father or some other interested party would post the bond. In some cases it was found that the mother and reputed father together posted the bond. If the woman refused to post bond or declare the father, she was often sent to jail."

Josiah Dean

Male, #41092, (say 1775 - )
Father*Hardy Dean
Mother*Elizabeth (?)
Birth*say 1775 Josiah was born say 1775. 
Biography* From Mary Jo Powell, 1 Feb 2004: "I wonder if sibling, Josiah, moved to Randolph Co., N.C. after the will was settled as I have found a Josiah Dean on the 1830, 1840, 1850, and 1860 census. In the 1850 census, there is a Richard F. Dean near Josiah. Josiah is recorded as 60, wife Anna*, born NC. Richard F. is 45, wife Mary, children Rebecca 18 & Anna 16. Another theory that I have about Josiah is that he was married to Ann Boykin April 4, 1806. The marriage records say that Joseph Dean married Ann Boykin, but I believe that was just misread by a clerk or someone and it was really Josiah. Later, there is a recorded marriage of John Edwards to Rebecca Boykin on August 18, 1819 with Josiah Dean (maybe brother-in-law) as a bondsman. (Thos. Boyakin is listed very near Hardy Dean in the 1790 census)."1 
Birth of Sonsay 1800 His son Richard Foster Dean was born say 1800.

Birth*circa 1780 Theophilus was born at North Carolina circa 1780. 
Marriage*28 Oct 1807 He married Sarah Peebles at Wake Co., North Carolina, on 28 Oct 1807. 
1820 Census*1 Jun 1820 Theophilus was listed as the head of a family on the 1820 Census at Wake Co., North Carolina.1 
Birth of Soncirca 1822 His son Theophilus Dean was born circa 1822 at Wake Co., North Carolina. 
Birth of Soncirca 1825 His son Thomas Dean was born circa 1825 at Wake Co., North Carolina. 
Birth of Soncirca 1826 His son James Dean was born circa 1826 at Wake Co., North Carolina. 
Birth of Soncirca 1831 His son Gibson Dean was born circa 1831 at Wake Co., North Carolina. 
Birth of Soncirca 1832 His son William Dean was born circa 1832 at Talbot Co., Georgia. 
Research note*23 Dec 2004 From Mary Jo Powell, 27 Aug 2004:
A few weeks ago, I received a note from Freddie Dean which said that he had read my comments on your web site and he wanted to tell me I could
find Theophilus Dean on the 1850 Talbot Co. census. So I went there and sure enough, on page 297, 24th district, I found Theophilus (age 69)
with wife Sarah (Sally)age 65, both born in N.C. With them are: Theophilus 27; Thomas 24; Sabrina 24; James M. 23; Mary 19; Gibson 18; Elizabeth 15; and William 17. All except the last two were born in N.C. which would indicate that Theophilus and Sally came to Georgia about 1833. Looking on page 269, 22nd district, I found John Dean(age 75) with wife Aley (age 73) both born in N.C.and alone in their household.
Next, I went to the 1860 census and things began to get very confusing.
Did not find Theophilus, Sr. but did find John(83) and Aley(82) again. Lliving with them were Elizabeth Stewart (60) b. GA, and Ezekiel Dean
(24) b GA. If this is the John Dean, son of Hardy, I am wondering- who is Aley and what happened to Nancy King? Also in the 1860 census, I found several of Theophilus's children scattered about. Since John Dean was married a second time to a Mary Ann Gunn, I looked for the Gunn family in 1860 and found Thomas Gunn living in household #104 with his family. (John Dean was in household #107). In the family of Thomas Gunn is a daughter Mary A. (27) and another daughter
GeorgeA.(25) as well as others. It did seem strange that an 84 year old John Dean would marry a 28 year old Mary Ann Gunn in 1861 but stranger things have happened. Going to the 1870 census, I found Mary Ann Dean(45) and a widow. Living with her was Georgianna Martin(38) and two Martin sons.. Georgianna would have been her sister and the widow of a neighbor named Martin.

This morning, I went back to the library to look at the 1840 census to see if that would tell me more. On page 234, I found Theophilus Dean (age 50-60) surrounded by two that I would suspect were his sons: John W* Dean (age 30-40) and Gibson M. Dean(age 20-30). Also very close by were Greene Martin, Smith Haynes, and Thomas Gunn.

Is it possible that there has been some confusion about the children and wives of John Dean? Were there two John Deans in Talbot County-one in district 22 and one in district 24? Could it be that John. W* Dean, son of Theophilus, was the one that married Mary Ann Gunn? Also could Gibson M. Dean be a son of Theophilus instead of John?

Reply from Lew Griffin:

As for the 1840 census, the John W. Dean who was adjacent to Theophilus that year was without a doubt, John Wesley Dean, son of John Dean, and not a son of Theophilus. The ages and sexes of his children in 1840 Talbot match up exactly with known records. And the Gibson M. Dean, on the other side of Theophilus in 1840, must also have been a son of John Dean, at least he was mentioned in John's inventory. And per later census records, Theophilus had a much younger son named Gibson, born in the 1830's.
Since both John and Theophilus named sons "Gibson" this would suggest there was some earlier connection to the Gibson family in NC or VA. Perhaps the early Hardy Dean's wife was a Gibson? Who knows?
On "Aley" as the elderly wife of John Dean of Talbot in both 1850 and 1860, I have no current ideas on that, unless she was somehow "one and the same" as Nancy King. Just wild speculation, but maybe she was "Nancy Alice King" and called "Aley?" From family tradition this John Dean was only married twice, once to Nancy King, and once to Mary Ann Dunn.2,3
