Marq and Sheila have produced a work which should certainly qualify as
required reading for any descendant of the South Carolina Palatines of
1764.
Researchers will find that this book not only
brings our roots to life, but that it also includes a wealth of
sources for further investigation.
Unfortunately for Rampy family readers, the name of our ancestor does
not appear in the book's many listings of the Germans who came to South
Carolina, even though we were part of the action from the tale's
beginning until the end of the Revolution. In fact, one of the
principal characters, Katy Fritz, had a daughter (Elizabeth) who married
John Rampey, son of Johan Nicholas.
