Lynn,

The father of a bastard child was required by the Parish to enter into a =
bond to pay for the woman's lying-in and to support the child. This bond =
was known as a bastardy bond or indemnity bond.

Refer to T V H Fitzhugh, The Dictionary of Genealogy, or J Richardson, =
The Local Historians Encyclopaedia.
