Description and Holding Information
Senate. Comm. on the Judicary. Act in addition to an act on descent and distribution of intestate estates, 1831
Senate No. 20 On January 15, 1831, the Committee on the Judiciary was asked if out-of-wedlock children should be legitimized if the parents
eventually marry, leading to An Act in addition to ... an act regulating the descent and distribution of intestate estates, 1831. If the parents of an
out-of-wedlock child subsequently marry, that child was deemed legitimate with the same legal standing as the children born in lawful wedlock, provided
there was no legal impediment to such a marriage. (Digitized from a microfilm copy of title originally held by the Massachusetts State Library).
Title:   Ordered, that the Committee on the Judiciary be instructed to inquire into the expediency of providing by law, that children born out of lawful wedlock shall be legitimated by the subsequent intermarriage of their parents.
