Michael John Neill's genealogy website. Things that cross my path, general research suggestions, and whatever else ...with a little bit of attitude. I don't post "news" just to post it, never post a press release (edited or otherwise), don't feign excitement, and pretty much say what I think.

Can You Read It?
This signature comes from an 1810 era document from Maryland, written by an English native born in the 1740s.
This one is James Ramply. Documents signed by later members of the family use the spelling Rampley, but there's little doubt here that there is no "e" before the "y."

I'd say it's supposed to be James Pompey, but it appears to literally be written James Pampey.
I'm gonna guess James Rampey.
