Helpful Hint of the Month
Duchess County
The Duchess County Clerk Ancient Document Search allows you to explore digital images of 167,000 pages of legal documents dating from 1721 to the 1840s. It is searchable by surname, year, offense, etc.!
An example: The image of an "Order of Bastardy" which shows court papers adjudging a Mr. William Parks to be the father of a female bastard child born of Freelove Birdsel, a single woman. The court paper is dated August 2, 1754.
The image is small here because of space limitations on this page, but on the official page is enlargeable and very readable.
