“ JOSEPH ROYALL 1600 - 1655
At age 20 years, came to Virginia on the ship "Charitie", 22, July 1622. In the following year, in the census, he was listed at Neck of Land in Charles City. As shown in the muster he was one of two young men serving Luke Boyse. Joseph Royall was a ship's master in England and worked for a man by the name of Boise. In June of 1625, Boise outfitted a ship for transporting people to the colonies. The ship left England on July 1, 1625, with Mrs. Boise and four daughters as passengers for the trip over. On the trip, Captain Royall, "thru neglecte" caused sea water to ruin the clothing of the passengers. After her husband's death Mrs. Boyse petitioned the Court regarding an agreement entered into between her husband and young Royall: At this Court, 11, January 1626, there was a petition preferred by Mrs. Alice Boise, widow, against Joseph Royall servant to her late husband Luke Boise and showed a covenant bearing date 25, February 1625, wherein the said Joseph Royall was bound unto the said Luke Boise to perform certain conditions therein mentioned; whereupon, it is ordered, according to the said covenant that the said Joseph Royall shall make or cause to be made gratis for the said Alice Boise, her child and such servants as were then of this family all such apparel as they shall wear or use till such day and time as he shall depart this land, so long as those of the family shall either serve her or the child. A decree of this sort would be difficult to enforce and it's reasonable to conclude that circumstances freed young Royall from the permanent obligation under which Mrs. Boyse sought to place him.
By 15 August 1637 he was a land owner in his own right, having patented a portion of a tract (300 acres Henrico Co. p. 452) later included in the Isham-Royall plantation know as "Doghams."I The land lay on the north side of the James River above "Shirley" and remained in the Royall family for more than 200 years. In 1929 it was sold to James Pinckney Harrison. Harrison was a direct descendent of Katherine Banks and Henry Isham (through both the Eppes and Randolph lines), and was a distant "half-cousin" to the Royalls who last owned the property. Dogham is now the home of the Mitchell family (grandchildren of Mr. Harrison). Dogham Farm has recently been approved for listing on the Virginia Landmarks Register, and has been recommended for the Virginia Department of Historic Resources for listing on the National Register of Historic Places."
In 1638 Royall added to his land holdings 200 acres on the South side of the James River which he sold to EDWARD MARTINN. By 1642, he patented 600 acres "above Sherley hundred, N. by E. upon the Riv. to Dockman's Cr...adj. Daniel Llewellyn." He was deceased by 10 March 1655, as is shown in a patent of that date describing Daniel Llewellyn's land as adjacent to that "lately belonging unto Joseph Royall, dec'd."
Joseph Royall married (1) Thomasin and before 1637 (2) Ann , both wives having been claimed as headright in his original patent, and Katherine Banks, who later married Henry Isham, after Joseph's death. Her will, 10 October 1686 December 1686, Henrico, names children by both marriages. Henry Isham, Sr., came to Virginia about 1656, where he had a grant of land. As the records of Henrico Co., where he lived at Bermuda Hundred, previous to 1677 have been destroyed, no copy of his will remains; but the records show that he died about 1675. He married Katherine, widow of Joseph Royall, of Henrico Co., (stated in the Isham pedigree to be a daughter of Banks, of Canterbury, England) and had issue (1) Henry, died 1679, unmarried. (2) Mary, married William Randolph, of "Turkey Island," Henrico Co., and (3) Anne, married Frances Eppes, of Henrico Co. In his will dated 13, November 1678 Henry Isham, Jr. names mother, sisters and step brother.
Children of Joseph and Katherine (Banks) Royall:
1. Joseph Royall2 married Mary Archer
2. John Royall
3. Sarah Royall married John Wilkinson
4. Katherine Royall married Richard Perrin (See Perrin Family)
5. daughter who married Dennis.
Her daughter Sarah and son Richard Dennis mentioned in Grandmother's will.
6. daughter married Maschell
Son Maiden named in his Grandmother's will.
JOSEPH ROYALL2 made a deposition 20, February 1681/82, Henrico, stating he was 26 years of age or thereabouts. His mother, Katherine Isham bequeathed "to my son Joseph Royall all my lands." With Captain William Randolph and Francis Epes, the husbands of his half sisters, Royall was joint patentee, 20 April 1680, of 580 acres known as "Martin's Swamp" lying in Bermuda Hundred Neck on the south side of the James River and adjoining lands of the three grantees. He served as Sheriff of Henrico and as vestryman of Curles Episcopal Church in Bristol Parish. His second wife was probably Mary, widow of George Archer, whose daughter Margery (Archer) Bullington, mentions in her will dated 20, January 1691/92 her brothers John Archer and Henry Royall.
