NOTE 1./ WILLIAM ROYAL OF SAMPSON CO. c1725-1795 : by Jerome Tew <>

Cornelius Royall Sr. died around 1745 and John then livin g in Edgecombe County, returned to Pasquotank County to learn that not only had his father died but that his brother William had dissolved the estate and he, John, got nothing.

Cornelius Royal Sr. had four children. Elizabeth Royal was born before the 1721 will of Anne Barnsfeld was wrote. She and Cornelius Jr. were old enough in 1724 to be deeded their father's 300 acres of land. John was old enough in 1741 to be in Edgecombe County. Cornelius Royal Jr. died in his youth. William Royal was the youngest of this family. Elizabeth Royal married Charles West before 1750. Elizabeth Barnsfeld Royal died after her husband Cornelius Ryall Sr.

There are two references to William Barnsfeld of interest . he was listed as a witness to a will in Pasquotank County in 1704. A William Barnsfeld is listed in Isle Of Wight County Va. in 1693. This is not a common name and thus one may conclude that this William Barnsfeld is the husband of Anne Barnsfeld and the father of Elizabeth Barnsfeld Royal l and the likely source of the name William for William Royall.

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. JEROME DEAN T ew -1993-

THE ROYAL ROAD TO SAMPSON COUNTY by Jerome Tew In 1719, Cornelius Royal was granted 300 acres of land in Pasquotank Co unty, N.C. In 1724 John lost his Indian slave and filed a complaint in Edenton.

In 1724, Cornelius deeded his son Cornelius Jr. and daughter Elizabeth Ryall 300 acres of land to be split between them. This appears to be his only family. The 300 acres had been obtained in 1719 by patent. Therefore, Cornelius Ryall had married Elizabeth Barnsfeld about 1710. His oldest children were Cornelius Ryall Jr. and Elizabeth. In a 1752 Pasquotank County document two other children are named as John and William Royall. This document lists all four children of this family. Cornelius Royal Jr. had died young.

Cornelius patented 300 acres of land on March 30, 1719 and deeded it to children Cornelius II and Elizabeth in 1725. Cornelius II died as a young man, likely about 1730.

CorneliusSnr married Mary Elizabeth BARNESFIELD about 1710. Mary (daughter of William BARNSFELD and Ann BARNESFIELD) was born in in Pasquotank County; died in 1745 in Pasquotank County. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
