WILLIAM ROYAL OF COLONIAL SAMPSON COUNTY c1725-1795 by Jerome Tew
There are five Royall men in NE North Carolina by 1726 who must have been born around 1700 and could be the grand or great grandsons of Joseph Royall the immigrant or his brother Henry Royall. But none of these are identified as belonging to the family of Joseph Royall.They are: Timothy Royall appeared in 1711, John Royall appeared in 1717, Thomas Royall appeared in 1720, Cornelius and Elizabeth B. Royall appeared in 1719, Charles and Ann Royall were in Bertie precinct in 1726.
These findings rule out Owen Royal of Sampson County as a brother to William and John Royal. Owen was likely the son of Owen Royal that was in Bertie County in 1739. Based on family names, Owen Royal Sr. was likely a brother to Cornelius Royal Sr. and their mother was a Hardy.
The Royal Road to Sampson County by Jerome Tew
John Royal had an Indian slave by the name of March. In 1717
he was granted 136 acres of land in northeast N.C. It also must be
concluded that this John Royal married _____ Hardy, since all the early
Sampson County Royals like the Hardy name.

Ward family
Seth1 Ward of Henrico County was the father of Richard2 Ward.
Richard2 Ward (Seth1) of Henrico County was a magistrate there
in 1666, the date of his birth is not known; but, he died in 1682.
Richard Ward2 married Elizabeth (surname unknown) and had issue:
2. I. Seth3 Ward.
3. II. Richard3 Ward.
4. III. Edward3 Ward
IV. Elizabeth3 Ward, of whom nothing further is known.2. Seth3 Ward (Seth1, Richard2) of "Sheffield" Henrico County, born
1661; captain of militia: corner of Henrico January 1700; died 1706 or 1707.
Seth3 Ward (1661-1707) was the father of the four following children:
5. I. Seth4 Ward.
6. II. Richard4 Ward.
7. III. Benjamin4 Ward.
8. IV. Joseph4 Ward.No record of the will of Captain Seth3 Ward has been found nor has a
search among original papers in the Henrico Court Clerk's Office produced
the "original" of his will. That Seth3 Ward made a will and that it was a legal
document and admitted to record there is evidence in the fact that in an order
of court October 1713 it is entered that certain property was delivered to the
guardians of two of Seth3 Ward's orphans "according to the will." (See below
the order in full.)The orders of court proving the names of Captain Seth Ward's children are
as follows; September 15, 1708, William Blackman ordered to give security for
what estate he hath in his hands belonging to the orphans of Captain Seth Ward,
late of this county [i. e. Henrico] deed.
(Henrico Records, Vol. [No. 4] 1677-1739, p. 50.)
August 1713. Upon petition of Benjamin Ward and Joseph Ward they are
admitted to choose their guardians and thereupon the said Benjamin chooses
Robert Burton, Junr. to be his guardian, and the said Joseph chooses Seth Ward
(oldest brother) to be his guardian, who appearing and severally accepting the
charge, John Stewart and the said Robert Burton enter themselves securitys for
the said Seth Ward and Henry Trent and the said Seth Ward enter themselves
securitys for the said Robert Burton. At the same court (August 1713) it was
ordered that William Blackman do deliver unto Robert Burton, Junr., guardian
to Benjamin Ward the estate of the said Benjamin, that he also deliver unto Seth
Ward guardian to Joseph Ward the estate of the said Joseph, and that Thomas
Branch, Christopher Branch and Richard Ward3, or any two of them do see the
delivery of the said estates and make report thereof to the next court (ibid. Order
Book 1710-1714, p. 251)
October Court 1713. Christopher Branch and Thomas Branch, two of the
persons ordered to see the estate of Benjamin Ward delivered unto Robert
Burton, Junr., his guardian, and the estate of Joseph Ward delivered unto Seth
Ward, his guardian, make report that in obedience to the said order they have
seen the said estates delivered according to the will
(Ibid., Order Book 1710-14, p. 254.)
February Court 1713/14. Richard Ward by his petition sets forth that he is
arrived to lawful age and therefore prays that the estate left him by his Deceased
father may be delivered him; William Blackman, in whose possession the said
estate is, agreeing thereto, it is ordered that he do deliver the said estate to the
petitioner in the presence of Thomas Branch and Christopher Branch.
(Ibid., Order Book 1710-14, p. 269).
That Benjamin, Joseph and Richard Ward (mentioned in the above orders)
were sons of Captain Seth3 Ward is proved in that William Blackman was
ordered (September 1708) to give security for estate in his hands belonging to
orphans of Captain Seth Ward, deceased; and by orders (August 1713 and
February 1713/14) William Blackman was directed to deliver estate in his
hands belonging to Benjamin and Joseph Ward to the guardians respectively
chosen by them; and the estate belonging to Richard Ward, to the said Richard
direct.
That Captain Seth3 Ward had also a son Seth4, who was older than
Richard , Benjamin and Joseph, is proved by various records. (see forward
under 5. Seth4 Ward).
The question arises as to who was Captain Seth Ward's. wife.† Research,
thus far, has failed to reveal direct evidence as to her identity; but, there are
facts, which brought into relation, tend to prove, circumstantially at least, that
Captain Seth3 Ward married Ann, daughter of Henry and Ann (Lound) Hatcher,
of Henrico County. ‡
It should be borne in mind that there is no extant copy of the will of Captain
Seth3 Ward; and no record (so far discovered) gives even his wife's baptismal
name.
The facts (which taken together tend to substantiate the above stated
conclusion) are as follows:
1. Henry Lound of Henrico County, in his will dated July 2, 1708;
probated November 1, 1708, leaves one shilling to his granddaughter Ann
Ward. (Henrico Records.)
2. The year and month of Captain Seth3 ward's death is not known
nor do the records show the date of the probate of his will; but, from the order
of Court September 15, 1708, for William Blackman to give security for estate
in his hands belonging to orphans of Captain Seth3 Ward, late of this county,
deceased (Vol. 1677-39, p. 50). One would infer that Captain Ward had not
been so very long dead, certainly that his orphan's property had but recently
come into the "hands" of William Blackman. There is no remaining court order
showing that Blackman was even the legally constituted guardian to Seth3
Wards orphans, nor any record or order showing how it happened that he had
their estate in his possession.
3. But it is a matter of record (as above quoted) that in September
1708, William Blackman was ordered to give security for the estate in his
hands belonging to the orphans of Captain Seth3 Ward; and that the names of
the orphans were Benjamin, Joseph and Richard; and that said Blackman
delivered their estates into the hands of later chosen guardians of . Benjamin
and Joseph, and into Richard's hands on his coming to "lawful age."
4. The following facts also appear:
(a) December 1707 William Blackman having by his petn. To this court
set forth that Edward Ward by his misrepresentation obtained an order at the last
court open a road which leads through the plantation whereon he now (your petn.)
lives belonging to the orphs of Seth Ward, decd.
(Henrico Court, Order Book 1707-09, p. 11.)
(b) April 1708 Mr. Seth Ward, 3 days as evidence in difference between
William Blackman and Edward Ward (Ibid. 1707-09, p. 30);
(c) April 1708 John Clark evidence in behalf of Richard Ward in a
difference depending between William Blackman and Edward Ward concerning
stopping of a road (Ibid., 1707-09, p. 32). (Ibid., 1707-09, p. 32). [Note: Richard
Ward mentioned in this order is evidently Richard, son of Captain Seth3 Ward,
and the eldest of the then minor orphans whose property was in Blackmans
hands.]
(d) April 1708. The order for a road granted Edward Ward through the
plantation whereon he now lives belonging to orphans of Seth Ward, decd., is
reversed (Ibid. 1708-09, p. 33).
5.
(a) November 1712 Seth Ward petn. For cart road layd out from his plantation
where he now lives to a small piece of land which he lately purchased of Richard
Ward; appears said road must pass through certain lands in possession of William
Blackman. Referred to next court (Ibid. Order Book 1710-14, p. 192).
(b) February 1712/13 Seth Ward vs. William Blackman and Anne, his wife, petn.
For cart way to pass through land of said William and Anne to a piece of
land lately purchased by Seth Ward of Richard Ward; ordered that the cart way
be granted ye sd Seth to pass through ye defdts land on ye river bank. Thomas
Branch and Christopher Branch ordered to lay out sd way
(Ibid. Book 1710-14, p. 203).*
A summary of this: Captain Seth3 Ward died prior to December 1707, at
which date William Blackman was living on the plantation belonging to the
orphans of Seth Ward, decd. (O. B., 1707-09, p.11); William Blackman had in
his "possession" or "hands" [the court orders never once stated he was guardian]
the estates of Benjamin, Joseph and Richard Ward, orphans of Seth3 Ward and it
appears that in February 1712/13 when Seth4 (an older son of Captain Seth Ward)
was petitioning for a cart road out to the river that the land through which it was to
pass is designated as belonging to William Blackman and Ann his wife, (see order
given in full above). It seems not at all improbable that in reality William Blackman
married the widow of Captain Seth3 Ward, some time after the July 1708 Henry
Lound made his will naming granddaughter Ann Ward, and thus it was that the
property of Captain Seth3 Ward's minor children came into his possession or
hands. It is quite evident that the Ann Ward, so named in Lound's will had been
born Ann Hatcher (see facts stated in footnote p. 192) \ Captain Seth3 Ward was
the only Ward at that time living in Henrico (so far as the records show) who
could have the husband of the said Ann; for, Captain Seth's brothers at that time
were married, viz.: Richard Ward to Elizabeth Blackman and Edward Ward to a
daughter of Gilbert Elam.\\3. Richard3 Ward (Richard2, Seth1) of Henrico County died 1724. His name
appears frequently on the Henrico records in minor suits. Richard3 Ward was
married three times: first Martha Branch; second, Elizabeth Blackman; third,
Mary, widow of Robert Jones.Thomas Branch, Senior, of Henrico County, will dated October 29, 1688,
probated February 1, 1694, names daughter Martha Ward. Mrs. Elizabeth
Branch [widow of Thomas Branch] in her will dated August 2, 1697; probated
August 20, 1697, names son-in-law Richard Ward (see Branch family in
QUARTERLY, XXV, p. 62).\\\
Marriage license issued 7ber (September) 1696 Richard Ward with Elizabeth
Blackman. Thomas Cocke, Senr. Surety (Henrico Records, Vol. 1688-1697),
p. 631). The will of William Blackman, of Varina Parish, Henrico County,
planter, dated November 11, 1697, probated April 1, 1698, makes bequests:
to eldest son William Blackman, south of lower moiety of my plantation in
Varina Parish, Henrico County; son John Blackman, north, or upper half of
said lands or plantation, 3 guns, a young horse, and 3 sterling; to daughter
Dorothy, wife of George Cogbill, of aforesaid county, and parish, Cooper,
1 shilling ; to daughter Elizabeth Ward, now wife of Richard Ward, of aforesaid
county and parish, 1 shilling; wife Dorothy Blackman, residue of estate not
before mentioned and she is named as executrix.
(Henrico Records, Vol. 1697-1704 p. 69-70)The following items from Henrico County Order Books refer probably to this
Richard Ward
(Richard Ward4):
William Blackman having caused a summons to issue against Richard Ward, Junr
to appear at this court to discharge him from his estate which the said Blackman
hath delivered him, the said Ward appears, and the court having heard him, the
said Blackman, and Christopher Branch, who was present at the delivery, it
appears to the Court that the said Ward hath received his estate, and thereupon
the said Blackman is discharged from the same.

The above is evidence that Seth Ward was married in 1681. It is unfortunate
that the name of his wife is not given. The record of licenses thus granted was
kept on account of a fee payable thereon to the authorities.
‡ Henry Lound, of Varina Parish, Henrico County, by deed dated August 19,
1678 conveys certain personality to his grandchildren: Ann Hatcher, Henry
Hatcher, William Hatcher and Martha Hatcher.
(Henrico Records, Vol. 1678-93, p. 55) On Sept., 1, 1677, Ann relict of Henry
Hatcher, deceased, was granted administration on her deceased husband's estate.
(Ibid., Vol. 1677-92, p. 33) In August 1678 Ann, Henry, William and Martha
Hatcher are named as orphans of Henry Hatcher deceased with Henry Lound,
as their guardian. Ibid., Vol. 1677-1739, p.4.) Henry Lound in his will dated
July 1708, probated November 1708 names among other parties grandson Henry
Hatcher and granddaughters Ann Ward, Mary Tanner and Martha Blanks. (Ibid.,
Vol. 1706-1709.) A comparison of the baptismal names is conclusive as to who
these parties were. Ann (Ann (the daughter of Henry Lound and widow of
Henry Hatcher) married 2ndly ______ Moody, prior to August 19, 1678 (the
deed, as referred to above, of Henry Lound to his grandchildren on that date
mentions Ann Moody, calling her "daughter;" and as Henry Hatcher's wife's
baptismal name was Ann; and Henry Hatcher's children were grandchildren of
Henry Lound, the inference is plain.
Henry Hatcher was the son of William Hatcher (1614-1677) of Henrico
County, a conspicuous character in the early days of the colony, a member of
the House of Burgesses, and immigrant ancestor of the Hatcher family in
Virginia (for a detailed account of Hatcher see Virginia Magazine, Vol. 5, p. 98).
* July 1720 the will of William Blackman, deceased, presented by Joseph Ward,
his executor, and proved by oaths of Henry Anderson and Thomas Branch, two
of the witnesses thereto, and admitted to record; Henry Soane and Benjamin
Ward, securities for Joseph Ward the executor.
