In searching for one of my more unusual surnames of Rampley, I located a reference apparently to a foreclosure of a relative's property in Harford County, Maryland. This property (at least part of it) was owned by my ancestor James Rampley at his death in 1817. I have digital copies of the surveys James obtained for the property. There's a little bit more I'd like to know about this--so I may do some searches. There are three Rampleys on the deed of trust apparently and not just one person or a husband and wife.

The Family History Library in Salt Lake has the deeds for Harford County. I've used them before so I know they are there. I'm not certain if the Family History Library has the local court case files or not.
