I'll tell you, some of these court records from 1862 are hilarious. They sound exactly like an episode of Jerry Springer. "You be a ho, bitch!" "You skank, you tellin' me I a ho? You a ho! You leave my babydaddy alone, skank!" etc. etc.

We were studying these old church records for the same period and the Saturday business meeting always ended with the expression: "SODOMIST"

This was a great mystery for years until my sister-in-law realized that coming at the end of the meeting it obviously meant "So Dismissed", just that the clerk couldn't spell!
