Notes:

NOTE 1./ <>

John patented 136 acres of land in that part of North Carolina on Feb. 3, 1717. He also owned an Indian slave named "March". He filed a petition concerning this Indian on Oct. 28 , 1824 in Edenton. The Indian had been illegal y detained from him in Tuscarora Town by a King Blount . Indian slaves to white men was not common in colonial days. But Indian bondage to other Indian tribes was not new. Circumstantial evidence indicates that John married a lady named Hardy. Hardy Royal is a name common to Sampson County and to the families of Owen , William , and John Royal who moved to Sampson County, North Carolina about 1760 . The first land patent to John Royal in Duplin was 1755. Charles Royal who moved to Onslow did not use Hardy as a given name. My belief is that John had two sons , one was named Cornelius Royal and one named Owen RoyalI. George Hardy, an early resident of Isle of Wigh t, ha d tw o daughters name d Mary and Margaret. They were about the right age to have married John Royall. Mary was used as given names several times in the early Royal families but Margaret was not used but twice. Hardy was used m any times.
