You're no further than I am from the largely legible deed records. Just go to www.mdsa.net and then to the link on the left for mdlandrec. Apply there for a username and password. Everything you need for William Vaughan is in Somerset County. Once you've received your i.d., go to the land records index to look up Vaughan deeds there. After you have those, then return to the county home page and enter the Volume and page number for each, and you'll find the images you're after. There's a little more on the Vaughans than I gave George the other day, but for the moment, just go this route. If you have any problems in navigating the system, ask here again.
