[7] : Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary

bastard
   in the old testament the rendering of the hebrew word _mamzer'_,
   which means "polluted." in deut. 23:2, it occurs in the ordinary
   sense of illegitimate offspring. in zech. 9:6, the word is used
   in the sense of foreigner. from the history of jephthah we learn
   that there were bastard offspring among the jews judg. 11:1-7.
   in heb. 12:8, the word gr. nothoi is used in its ordinary
   sense, and denotes those who do not share the privileges of
   god's children.
   

[8] : Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856)

bastard. a word derived from bas or bast, signifying abject, low, base; and 
aerd, nature. minshew, co. lit. 244; a. enfant de bas, a child of low birth. 
dupin. according to blackstone, 1 com. 454, a bastard in the law sense of 
the word, is a person not only begotten, but born out of lawful matrimony. 
this definition does not appear to be complete, inasmuch as it does not 
embrace the case of a person who is the issue of an illicit connection, 
during the coverture of his mother. the common law, says the mirror, only 
taketh him to be a son whom the marriage proveth to be so. horne's mirror, 
c. 2, sec. 7; see glanv. lib 8, cap. 13 bract. 63, a. b.; 2 salk. 427;, 8 
east, 204. a bastard may be perhaps defined to be one who is born of an 
illicit union, and before the lawful marriage of his parents. 
     2. a man is a bastard if born, first before the marriage of his 
parents; but although he may have been begotten while his parents were 
single, yet if they afterwards marry, and he is born during the coverture, 
he is legitimate. 1 bl. com. 455, 6. secondly, if born during the coverture, 
under circumstances which render it impossible that the husband of his 
mother can be his father. 6 binn. 283; 1 browne's r. appx. xlvii.; 4 t. r. 
356; str. 940 id. 51 8 east, 193; hardin's r. 479. it seems by the gardner 
peerage case, reported by dennis le marebant, esquire, that strong moral 
improbability that the husband is not the father, is sufficient to 
bastardize the issue. bac. ab. tit. bastardy, a, last ed. thirdly, if born 
beyond a competent time after the coverture has determined. stark. ev. part 
4, p. 221, n. a co. litt. 123, b, by hargrave  butler in the note. see 
gestation. 
     3. the principal right which bastard children have, is that of 
maintenance from their parents. 1 bl. com. 458; code civ. of lo. 254 to 262. 
to protect the public from their support, the law compels the putative 
father to maintain his bastard children. see bastardy; putative father. 
     4. considered as nullius filius, a bastard has no inheritable blood in 
him, and therefore no estate can descend. to him; but he may take by 
testament, if properly described, after he has obtained a name by reputation. 
1 rop. lew. 76, 266; com. dig. descent, c, l2; ie. bastard, e; co. lit. 123, 
a; id. 3, a; 1 t. r. 96 doug. 548 3 dana, r. 233; 4 pick. r. 93; 4 desaus. 
434. but this hard rule has been somewhat mitigated in some of the states, 
where, by statute, various inheritable qualities have been conferred upon 
bastards. see 5 conn. 228; 1 dev. eq. r. 345; 2 root, 280; 5 wheat.. 207; 3 
h.  m. 229, n; 5 call. 143; 3 dana, 233. 
     5. bastards can acquire the rights of legitimate children only by an 
act of the legislature. 1 bl. com. 460; 4 inst. 36. 
     6. by the laws of louisiana, a bastard is one who is born of an illicit 
union. civ. code of lo. art. 27, 199. there are two sorts of illegitimate 
children; first, those who are born of two persons, who, at the moment such 
children were conceived, might have legally contracted marriage with each 
other; and, secondly, those who are born from persons, to whose marriage 
there existed at the time, some legal impediment. id. art. 200. an 
adulterous bastard is one produced by an unlawful connexion between two 
persons, who, at the time he was conceived, were, either of them, or both, 
connected by marriage with some other person or persons. id. art. 201. 
incestuous bastards are those who are produced by the illegal connexion of 
two persons who are relations within the degrees prohibited by law. id. art. 
202. 
     7. bastards, generally speaking, belong to no family, and have no 
relations; accordingly they are not subject to paternal authority, even when 
they have been acknowledged. see 11 east, 7, n. nevertheless, fathers and 
mothers owe alimony. to their children when they are in need. id. art. 254, 
256. alimony is due to bastards, though they be adulterous or incestuous, by 
the mother and her ascendants. id. art. 262. 
     8. children born out of marriage, except those who are born from an 
incestuous or adulterous connexion, may be legitimated by the subsequent 
marriage of their father and mother, whenever the latter have legally 
acknowledged them for their children, either before the marriage or by the 
contract of marriage itself. every other mode of legitimating children is 
abolished. id. art. 217. legitimation may even be extended to deceased 
children who have left issue, and in that ease, it enures to the benefit of 
that issue. id. art. 218. children legitimated by a subsequent marriage, 
have the same rights as if born during the marriage. id. art. 219. see, 
generally, vin. abr. bastards bac. abr. bastard; com. dig. bastard; metc.  
perk. dig. h. t.; the various other american digests, h. t.; harr. dig. h. 
t.; 1 bl. com. 454 to 460; co. litt. 3, b.; bouv. inst. index, h. t., and
