    Note:
    BIOGRAPHY: Joseph Royall, aged 20 years came to Virginia in the CHARITIE in July of 1622. He landed at Jamestown. (In March 1622 the Indians had killed 347 colonists). Joseph survived an outbreak of "burning fever" which killed 500 colonists in 1622. The following year he was living in Charles City Co. Joseph transported people to Virginia, meaning that he arranged for and paid for their passage and by doing so was given "headrights" to several thousand acres of land on the James River in an area known as Turkey Island and the Curles on the James. On 8/15/1637 he received 300 acres of land in Henrico Co on Turkey Island Creek: "fifty acres for transporting his own person, 50 acres for first wife Thomasin, 50 acres for now wife Ann, 50 acres for brother Henry Royall, and 100 acres for two" others. He received 200 acres in Charles City Co for transporting four people the next year. In 1642 he received 600 more acres there for transporting twelve people including third wife Katherine Banks. Joseph's younger brother Henry settled in Charles City Co and also transported immigrants Joseph's plantation eventually grew to 1,100 acres, and by August, 1637, he was a large landowner and had built a mansion at his plantation on the north side of the James River, called Doghams, named after the French river D'Augham.
    
    BIOGRAPHY: Doghams lay above the plantation, "Shirley", opposite Hopewell, VA, about 20 miles east of Varina. They lived in Henrico Co, VA, at Turkey Island. "This was an excellent location on the James River where ships from England plied the wide river bringing cargoes of fine china, silver, furniture, stylish clothing, and supplies. These products the captains exchanged for tobacco, furs, and wood products." By 1690 Capt. Joseph Royall Jr. owned over 3,000 acres in the Henrico Co, VA, area including 2,827 acres he earned "for transporting 57 Negroes." Doghams remained in the Royall family for more than 200 years and still stands on the old road between Richmond and Williamsburg.
    
    BIOGRAPHY: Joseph Royal Sr. was dead by March 10, 1665. He and Katherine Banks Royall had at least three children, whose names are known; Joseph Royall Jr, Sarah Royall, who married John Wilkinson, and Katherine Royall who married Richard Perrin. (He also may have been the father of William, Richard And Henry as well as a daughter who married Richard Dennis And another daugher who married Machel Marshall. When Joseph died in about 1665, Katherine was a wealthy woman and married a second time to Henry Isham, Sr. of Bermueda Hundred Plantation in Virginia. According to custom, Joseph Royall's estate became the property of the new husband. Henry Isham added another wing onto the residence which was enhanced with tall pines and an English Flower Garden and was enclosed within a white picket fence. Katherine and Henry Isham were the leaders of Virginia Society at that time. They had three children together. Mary , who married William Randolph , Anne who married Francis Eppes and Henry Isham, Jr who died as a young unmarried man; he was lost at sea. In his will dated 11/13/1678, her son left Katherine, his mother one third of his property which was in both VA and England. Through this second marrriage, Katherine is the direct ancestor of Thomas Jefferson and John Marshall. Katherine's daughter Mary Isham was a much-courted belle in the scattered plantation society of the region. She was a charming young lady, known to play a musical instrument called a cittern. William Randolph married Mary Isham and they have been called the "Adam and Eve of Virginia".
