From census records of Duplin Co., NC, 1820- Edward HOUSTON, age 45+, has one male living in household, age 26-45 (Edward E. about age 35); 1830- Edward HOUSTON, AGE 40-50 (probably Edward E.); 1840- Edward A.

NOTE 2./ The North Carolina State Census, 1784 - 1787, indicates that Edward Houston's household was recorded in Capt Hubbard's Militia District by Samuel Houston in April 1786. The household consisted of 1 White male between the age of 21 AND 60, 2 White males either below the age of 21 OR above the age of 60, 2 White females, 2 Black slaves between the ages of 12 and 50, and 9 Black slaves either below the age of 21 or above the age of 5 0. This indicates that Edward Houston was born between 1726 and 1765. Edward's household is recorded on line 46 1790 Edward Houston household has 1 male over 16, 4 males under 16, 1 female, 6 slaves - Edward would have accounted for the Male over 16, His wife Mary the female - 4 sons under 16 Houston household has 1 male over 16, 4 males under 16, 1 female, 6 slaves A second 1790 census shows Edward Houston's household consists of 1 male over 16, 3 males under 16, 1 female, 6 slaves 1800 Census shows Edward Houston's household to consist of 2 males under 10, 1 male 10-15, 2 males 16-25, 1 male over 45, 2 females under 10, 1 female over 45 and 4 slaves. In conclusion Edward and Mary at this point are over 45 and have 5 sons and 2 daughters still living with them. 1810 Census show's Edward Houston's household consisting of 3 males 16-25, 1 male over 45, 2 females 10-15, 1 female over 45 and 3 slaves 1820 Census with his household consisting of 2 males under 10 (James Lafayette 4 & Edward "Ned" 7), 1 male 26-45 (Edward E. age 32), male over 45 (Edward), 1 female under 10 (I do not have a record of this child), 1 female 16-26 (This could be Winneford), 2 females between 26 & 45 (Possibly Rebecca and Hannah). There is a mark for 1 person foreigners not naturalized. This could be a column error and should have been for 1 female over 45 for Mary and 5 slaves. This appears to be a combined household with Edward and Edward E. Research Notes: During the Revolutionary War, Edward HOUSTON served in the North Carolina Continental Line from Wilmington District.

NOTE 6./ Historical Note: The Year Was 1789 The year was 1789 and in the U.S. a young government was beginning to take shape. In its first nationwide election, the popular Revolutionary War general, George Washington, became the country's first president and was sworn in at the first capitol of the United States, Federal Hall in New York City. In France, a rebellion was underway and with the storming of the Bastille prison, the French Revolution began. In its reporting on the subject, The Times of London, England had the following to say of the conflict: The spirit of liberty which so long lay in a state of death, oppressed by the hand of power, received its first spark of returning animation, by the incautious and impolitic assistance afforded to America. The French soldier on his return from that emancipated continent, told a glorious tale to his countrymen--"That the arms of France had given freedome to thirteen United States, and planted the standard of liberty on the battlements of New York and Philadelphia." The idea of such a noble deed became a general object of admiration, the [facets?] of a similar state were eagerly longed for by all ranks of people, and the vox populi had this force of argument--"If France gave freedom to America, why should she not unchain the arbitrary fetters which bind her own people. Later that year, the Marquis de Lafayette, with the advice of Thomas Jefferson who was at the time the American ambassador to France, drafted the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen. It was adopted by France's National Assembly in August and ratified by Louis XVI in October. There was unrest in other parts of the world as well. Sweden and Russia were at war, and briefly, Norway had joined the conflict, although a peace treaty was signed in July 1789. In a smaller, but well-known conflict, the mutiny on the H.M.S. Bounty was also in the year 1789. On April 28, part of the crew of the Bounty, led by Fletcher Christian, mutinied and set Captain William Bligh and eighteen crewmembers adrift. Bligh managed to get the boat some 3,600 miles to Timor. Some of the mutineers were captured and prosecuted--three were hanged, while others, including Fletcher Christian ended up on Pitcairn Island, where some of their descendants live to this day. In 1789, there was an epidemic of influenza in New England, New York, and Nova Scotia, which resulted in many deaths due to secondary cases of pneumonia. The new president was among those who fell ill. He caught a cold while visiting Boston, and later, was affected more seriously with influenza, which was dubbed Washington Influenza. NOTE 7./ Historical Note: The Year Was 1780 The year was 1780 and the American Revolution wasn't going well for the Americans in the South. British forces captured Charleston and 5,400 American troops garrisoned there. During the siege, South Carolina Governor John Rutledge managed to escape and when word reached the British General Cornwallis, he sent Lt. Col. Banastre Tarleton to chase Rutledge and troops under Colonel Abraham Buford who were escorting him to North Carolina. Tarleton's men caught up with Buford's troops near the Waxhaws District six miles south of the North Carolina state line, as Governor Rutledge continued north. Buford's men put up a brief fight during which Tarleton's horse was shot from under him. As the American troops began to surrender, Tarleton's men, thinking he had been killed began renewed their attack on the surrendering Americans. More than one hundred men were killed outright and perhaps another hundred died of their wounds shortly after. Up to that point, most thought that the South was going to remain loyal to Britain, but the Waxhaws Massacre became a rallying point for the rebels, with "Tarleton's Quarter" becoming synonymous with "no mercy." The divisions in the South were apparent in the Battle of King's Mountain, which was fought between two American forces--Tories under the command of Major Patrick Ferguson, and the "Overmountain Men," American frontiersmen from what is now Tennessee and parts of Virginia. The Americans surrounded the Tories and this time it was they who gave "no quarter" to the surrendering Tory troops. Eventually American officers were able to reign in the troops and the battle was over. The defeat was a turning point in the Revolution in the South and forced General Cornwallis to retreat further south. To the north, a British spy was captured with correspondence revealing that Benedict Arnold, who had recently been given command of West Point, planned to surrender it to the British. When news that the spy had been caught reached Arnold, he fled to the safety of a British ship and became a brigadier-general for the British, siding with them for the remainder of the war. There was trouble in England as well. In 1778 a Catholic Relief Act had been passed, which reversed some of the Penal Laws of the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries. It allowed Roman Catholics to join the armed forces with an oath amenable to Catholics and gave them the ability to hold longer leases on land. It also ended the requirement that a Catholic distribute his lands evenly among his sons upon his death. The Catholic Relief Acts weren't popular with some Protestants though and in 1780 Lord George Gordon established the Protestant Association in 1780. In June of that year an estimated 60,000 people marched on the House of Commons demanding the Relief Acts be repealed. The huge crowd turned violent and a week of rioting left two hundred and ninety people dead, and devasted Roman Catholic churches and related buildings, as well as the homes of prominent Catholics and supporters of the legislation. Troops had to be called in to end the rioting. Twenty-five of the leaders of the riot were hanged, but Gordon was found "not guilty" of treason. May 19th was a dark day in New England--literally. A low-lying dark cloud that at times had a yellow and at times reddish hue descended on New England and was noted from Maine to as far south as New Jersey. It was darkest around northeastern Massachusetts and southern New Hampshire and Maine, where it became so dark that candles needed to be lit to see. The cause is thought to have been a combination of low clouds that mixed with smoke and ash from a forest fire, but at the time it wasn't known and the event caused panic for many. New England's dark day was a minor event though in comparison to the hurricane season of 1780. Eight storms struck in various parts of America and the Caribbean. British fleets off American shores took heavy hits during several storms. (Hurricanes in the 1780s were the cause of more British Naval losses than battle.) The worst storm struck on October 10th devastating Barbados and the Windward Islands, and claiming an estimated 22,000 lives. | HOUSTON, RS Edward (I939)

| 16686 | NOTE 1./ As the fourth child, inherited lands were not available to him, giving rise to his nickname, Lackland. His first marriage lasted but ten years and was fruitless, but his second wife, Isabella of Angouleme, bore him two sons and three daughters. He also had an illegitimate daughter, Joan, who married Llywelyn the Great, Ruler of All Wales, from which the Tudor line of monarchs was descended. The survival of the English government during John's reign is a testament to the reforms of his father, as John taxed the system socially, economically, and judicially. The Angevin family feuds profoundly marked John. He and Richard clashed in 1184 following Richard's refusal to honor his father's wishes surrender Aquitane to John. The following year Henry II sent John to rule Ireland, but John alienated both the native Irish and the transplanted Anglo-Normans who emigrated to carve out new lordships for themselves; the experiment was a total failure and John returned home within six months. After Richard gained the throne in 1189, he gave John vast estates in an unsuccessful attempt to appease his younger brother. John failed to overthrow Richard's administrators during the German captivity and conspired with Philip II in another failed coup attempt. Upon Richard's release from captivity in 1194, John was forced to sue for pardon and he spent the next five years in his brother's shadow. John proved extremely unpopular with his subjects. In addition to the Irish debacle, he inflamed his French vassals by orchestrating the murder of his popular nephew, Arthur of Brittany. By spring 1205, he lost the last of his French possessions and returned to England. The final ten years of his reign were occupied with failed attempts to regain these territories. After levying a number of new taxes upon the barons to pay for his dismal campaigns, the discontented barons revolted, capturing London in May 1215. At Runnymeade in the following June, John succumbed to pressure from the barons, the Church, and the English people at-large, and signed the Magna Carta. The document, a declaration of feudal rights, stressed three points. First, the Church was free to make ecclesiastic appointments. Second, larger-than-normal amounts of money could only be collected with the consent of the king's feudal tenants. Third, no freeman was to be punished except within the context of common law. Magna Carta, although a testament to John's complete failure as monarch, was the forerunner of modern constitutions. John only signed the document as a means of buying time and his hesitance to implement its principles compelled the nobility to seek French assistance. The barons offered the throne to Philip II's son, Louis. John died in the midst of invasion from the French in the South and rebellion from his barons in the North. | LACKLAND, King John (I10648)

| 16692 | NOTE 1./ THE CAVENDISHES < Very many of our great families bear names of local origin; and the great ducal House of Devonshire forms no exception to the rule. Its members for some three centuries have stood prominent along with the Russells as champions of the Liberal cause, and of political freedom. The original home of this house is Cavendish, in Suffolk, where Robert de Gernon (a descendant of one of the followers of the Conqueror) obtained a landed estate by marriage with an heiress in this lordship and manor, in consequence of which his son exchanged his father's name for that of the locality in which his lot was cast. The Gernons were of great note in Norfolk Essex, and other counties, under our Norman kings; and their names figure in English country histories as the donors of large grants to various abbeys and other religious houses. The first of the family of whom we read in history is Robert de Gernon, who gave considerable property to the Abbey of Gloucester in the reign of Henry I. He was the ancestor of Robert de Gernon, of Grimston Hall, in Suffolk, who, having married the daughter and heiress of John Potton, Lord of Cavendish, in that county, left at his decease in 1325, a family of four sons, who, according to the custom of those times, each took the local name of Cavendish. According to Collins and the Heralds, the second of these sons, Roger Cavendish, was ancestor of Thomas Cavendish, the distinguished navigator, whose name is always mentioned along with those of Drake and Dampier, and who at his own cost victualled and furnished three ships, with which he set sail from Plymouth in July, 1586, and made a circumnavigation of the globe. This Thomas Cavendish, on his return to England, wrote a curious letter to Lord Hunsdon, the chamberlain and favourite of Queen Elizabeth; in which, after telling the courtier bow he had gained victory over her Majesty's enemies, he writes, 'I burnt and sunk nineteen sail of ships small and great, and all the villages and towns that ever I landed at I burned and spoiled.' Elizabeth knighted this successful depredator and, from the portion of the spoils that fell to his share as capitalist and commander, Sir Thomas Cavendish was said, in the language of the time, to have been 'rich enough to purchase a fair earldom.' He was, however, not so successful in his next and last voyage; for, having set sail from Plymouth, in August, 1591, and not being able to pass the Strait of Magellan, by stress of weather, and the mutinous spirit of his men, he was driven back to the coast of Brazil, where he mot with an untimely death. Sir John Cavendish, the eldest son of the above-mentioned Roger de Gernon, was a distinguished lawyer, and held the post of Lord Chief Justice of the King's Bench in the reign: of Edward III and Richard II. In the fourth year of the latter reign he was elected Chancellor of the University of Cambridge, and war next year commissioned, with Robert de Hales, treasurer of England, to suppress the insurrection raised in the city of York, in which year the mob, to the number of about fifty thousand, made it a point, particularly in the county of Suffolk, to plunder and murder the lawyer. Being incensed in a more than ordinary degree against the Lord Chief Justice Cavendish, the mob seized upon and dragged him along with John of Cambridge, the Prior of Bury St. Edmunds, into the market-place of the latter town, and there caused them both to be beheaded. The unpopularity of the judge arose in the following manner. The younger son of the judge, Sir John Cavendish esquire of the body to Richard II, is said by the old chroniclers to have been the person who actually slew Wat Tyler. 'For William Walworth, mayor of London, having arrested him, he furiously struck the mayor with his dagger, but, being armed, hurt him not; whereupon the mayor, drawing his baselard, grievously wounded Wat in the neck; in which conflict, an esquire of the King's house, called John Cavendish, drew his sword, and wounded him twice or thrice even unto death.'For this service, Cavendish was knighted in Smithfield, and had a grant of forty pounds per annum from the King. This Sir John Cavendish (or another of the same name served under Henry V in his wars in France and played a conspicuous part in the battle of Agincourt. The two great-grandsons of Sir John Cavendish were the brothers, George Cavendish an William Cavendish, both of whom distinguishes themselves in no small degree. The latter held the post of Gentleman Usher to Cardinal Wolsey in which capacity he waited on the Cardinal in his Embassy into France in 1527. He was also with the Cardinal in his chamber when the Earl of Northumberland and Sir Walter Welsh arrested him in the King's name, and was the chief person they suffered to be about him, Sir Walter telling Mr. Cavendish that 'the King's Majesty bore unto him his principal favour for the love and diligent service he had performed to his lord; wherefore the King's pleasure was that he should be about him as chief, in whom his Highness putteth great confidence and trust.' To give a more lasting testimony of his gratitude to the Cardinal, Mr. Cavendish drew up an account of his life and death, which he wrote in, the reign of Queen Mary, and afterwards published it. So faithfully indeed had William Cavendish served the Cardinal that, upon the death of the latter, King Henry retained him in his own service, 'especially upon the grounds of his attachment to his late fallen master.' In 1530 Mr. Cavendish was appointed one of the commissioners for visiting and taking the surrenders of religious houses, in which no doubt he obtained some good 'pickings;' he subsequently held high offices in the State, including that of Treasurer of the Chamber to the King; be likewise received the honour of knighthood, and had bestowed upon him grants of 'forfeited church lands' from the Crown. But his wealth in this way was augmented chiefly by his fortunate marriage with 'Bess of Hardwicke,'-she was his third wife-by whom he had a large family. It was this Sir William Cavendish who commenced the present princely mansion of Chatsworth, but died shortly afterwards, leaving his sorrowing widow in the fall enjoyment of her worldly possessions, which she took good care should be securely settled upon herself and her heirs. Some time afterwards, she became the wife of Sir William St Lo, a captain of the Guard to Queen Elizabeth whose 'diverse fair lordships in Gloucestershire' it was also arranged by the articles of marriage should be settled upon herself to the exclusion of her new husband's relatives. She survived Sir William by some years; but even to this third widowhood, as Bishop Kennet observes in his 'Memoirs of the Family of Cavendish,' she had not survived her charms of wit and beauty, by which she captivated the then greatest subject of the realm, George, Earl of Shrewsbury, whom she brought to terms of the greatest honor and advantage to herself and children.' Besides finishing the erection of Chatsworth, the countess built the mansions of Hardwicke and Oldcotes, all of which she transmitted in their entirety to her second son by her second husband, namely, another Sir William Cavendish, who in 1605 was raised to the peerage as Baron Cavendish of Hardwicke, in Derbyshire, and in 1618 advanced to a still higher dignity, as Earl of Devonshire. His mother 'Bess of Hardwicke, 'Countess of Shrewsbury, lived to the age of eighty six, dying in February, 1607, and being buried in the south aisle of All Saints Church, Derby, in which town she had endowed a 'hospital for the subsistence of poor people, who have each of them an allowance of near ten pounds per annum.' Lord Cavendish was one of the first adventurers who settled a colony and plantation in Virginia; and, on the first discovery of the Bermuda islands, he obtained, with the Earl of Northampton and others, a grant of them from the king. The islands were afterwards divided into eight cantons or provinces, bearing the name of eight of the chief proprietors, and accordingly one of them became known by the name of Cavendish. William, the fourth Earl of Devonshire, having taken an active part in the revolution of 1688, was created, in 1694, Marquis of Hartington and Duke of Devonshire. His son William, the second duke, was grandfather of Henry Cavendish, the eminent chemist and philosopher. The third duke, having held the post of Lord Steward of the Household, was appointed, in 1737, Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, which office he held till 1744. His son William, the fourth duke, who was also Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, marries Charlotte, Baroness Clifford, of Lanesborough only daughter and heiress of Richard, Earl of Burlington and Cork, by which union the Baron, of Clifford, created by Charles I. in 1628, camp into the Cavendish family. His third son George Augustus, was created, in 1831, Earl of Burlington and Baron Cavendish, of Keighley and was the grandfather of William, second Ear of Burlington, who, on the death of his cousin William Spencer, sixth Duke of Devonshire, in 1858, succeeded to the ducal and other family honors, and is the present head of the noble family of the Cavendishies. The fact that, in his day, the duke was all but 'Senior Wrangler' at Cambridge is regarded by himself as no small honour to the strawberry leaves which surround his coronet; and it is much to the credit of his grace's family that, wherever their territorial possessions extend, not simphly are the churches kept weather-tight and architecturally presentable, but every work of public utility and improvement is modestly and liberally encouraged and supported. It is true that the Cavendishes derive a splendid revenue from the town of Barrow-in-Furness, but few know of the princely sums supplied by him for providing church accommodation and educational advantages in that town.

NOTE 3./ e-mail from Donna Fratesi 12/4/2006 Had an e-mail some time ago from a lady in Louisiana whose family claims some connection to Lismore Castle. The name is O'Rourke. They are connected to the Boyles. The Boyles, of course, did own Lismore Castle. I'm wondering if we haven't been barking up the wrong tree. It makes more sense and is a more direct connecction. The Boyles in the 1800's lived in London. She claims that they (the lawyers )were trying to get in touch with the Lismores around 1910 because of the death of the last of the Boyles. Well, that's the roundabout conclusion anyway. It would be so good to hire someone to finally figure this out. Of course, you know, the Boyle connection would be amazing. Look them up! Stories get twisted down through the years and facts get distorted which is why it is wise not to depend on them too much. If John Lismore was descended from the Boyles it would make sense as they were all living in London at the time. | (CONJECTURE ONLY), Lords of Lismore (I8770)

| 16693 | NOTE 1./ The Great Plague struck England in the summer of 1665. First, it should be understood that many epidemic diseases are constantly present in the population, with some years of significant mortality and others of only scattered occurrence. For example, the bubonic plague had already had noticeable outbreaks in London in 1630, 1636, and 1647, but few years were without any plague deaths. Thus, you should not dismiss a cause of death from a disease you usually associate with epidemics as erroneous just because it wasn't during a major outbreak. One of the supporting conditions of epidemics is, of course, population density. For example, the London of this period was densely populated. The one square mile within the walls of "the City" contained over 600,000 people. 69,596 of the 97,306 deaths in 1665 were attributed to plague, occurring in the latter half of the year. The plague continued through 1666, and some estimates say that almost 20 percent of the population died. Epidemiologists are still debating why epidemics are often characterized by sudden onset and equally sudden cessation. When reading church burial registers, the genealogist may realize that the typical handful of entries each month has suddenly multiplied many times over, as I saw in the London register I was reading for 1665. Even when no causes of death are given, chances are that you are seeing the results of an epidemic, which you may want to research. For London, the plague basically ended when in September 1666 a fire began in a baker's shop in Pudding Lane near London Bridge. It spread westward along the Thames and northward through the City, traveling easily through the wood-timbered houses overhanging the maze of narrow streets. London burned for four days, literally to the ground in much of the city. The flea-infested rats that carried the plague were either killed or driven away. The plague also faded away outside the city soon after, typical of a plague cycle. | MATHEWS, Thomas (I12770)

| 16694 | NOTE 1./ The Royal road to Sampson begins in 1666 when Thomas Roya l immigrated to America and Isle of Wight County in Virginia. The International Genealogical Index (IGI) does not identify where in England he came from. Most likely Thomas was in his early-twenties when he arrived, and 43 years later he died. The following is one of the most unusual wills I have ever read. It is the 1709 will of Thomas Ryall. In the name of God Amen, I Thomas Ryall of the Upper Parish of the Isle Of Wight County in Virginia, being sick and weak in body but of sound and perfect memory thanks be to the Almighty God and rising to remembrance the immortality state of this life on earth and being desirous to settle things in order do make this my last will and testament in manner and form following: That is to say, first and principall y I commend my soul to Almighty God my Creator and Redeemer . Assured by believing that I shall receive full pardon an d remission of my sins and be saved by the precious death and merits of my blessed Savior and Redeemer Christ Jesus and my body to earth from whence it was taken, to be buried in a decent and Christian like manner as my executrix, hereafter named, shall think fit and convenient and as something so worldly as an estate, as the Lord in mercy is pleased to bestow on me. My Will and meaning is the same and shall be employed and bestowed hereafter by this my will as expressed and first I do revoke, forsake, renounce, and make void all wills formerly by me. I make and ordain and appoint this to be taken only for my last will and testament I give unto my son Thomas Ryall one shilling. I give unto my gr andson Lawrence Brown one shilling. I give all the rest of my estate unto my well beloved wife Isabel Ryall during the time of her widowhood but if she should remarry, then my will is that all the estate be equally divided between her and my four children: George Ryall, Charles Ryall, John Ryall and Isabel Ryall, and I do acknowledge, conscience and do appoint my kind and loving wife Isabel Royall whole and sole executr this my last will and testament. Witness my hand and seal this 26th of May 1709. Signed Thomas "T" "R " Ryall (seal), signed, sealed and delivered in the year o f 1709. Proven in open court held for the Isle of Wight County 1709. Probate granted for Executrix herein named. Attested to by Charles Chapman, Clerk of Court. Witnesses: John Carroll, Elizabeth E. Carroll and William Clark. Note: The above George, Thomas Royal Jr. and Isobel Brown are not traced. The above Charles Royall was I believe the youngest and was born about 1690. He married Ann ____. They lived in Bertie County, N.C. around 1730 but settled in Onslow County and had six children. Most of his children moved to Georgia after the death of Charles Ryall in 1755. The above Jo Royal had an Indian slave by the name of March. In 1717 he w as 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 liked the Hardy name . In 1719, Cornelius Royal was granted 300 acres of land in Pasquotank County, N.C. In 1724 John lost his Indian slave and filed a complaint in Edenton. The identity of this family is further established by a 1721 will in Pasquotank County. Anne Barnsfeld wrote a will and listed daughters Elizabeth Royal and Ann Cowles (Callis). Also listed was a grand daughter named Elizabeth Royal. The executor of this wil l was Cornelius Royal. There was in this area a William Barnsfeld in early records, likely the husband of Anne and source of the name "William" Royall. In 1724, Cornelius deeded his son Cornelius Jr. and daughter Elizabeth Ryall 300 ac res 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 Ryal l 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. There were three Royal families in Colonial Sampson County, namely John, William and Owen . Since we know that Owen was not the son of Cornelius, and he also had children named Hardy Royal, he was connected . The connection must have been to Owen Royal in 1739 Bertie County. This Owen must have been the brother of Cornelius Royall, the father of Owen Royal of Sampson County, and the son of John Royall and a woman named Hardy. The Hardy name does not exist in the Royal family of Onslow County. Therefore, neither Thomas Royal the immigrant nor his son Charles married a Hardy ---- but son John Royall must have. ___ ______ http://www.lamar.k12.ga.us/royal/royal.htm arrived in Surrey and Isle of Wight Co, Virginia on May 14, 1666. He died there May 26, 1709, leaving a will which named his wife, Isabel (Hardy) b ca 1648 d 26 May 1709 , and sons, THE ROYAL ROAD TO SAMPSON -- by Jerome Tew The Royal road to Sampson begins in 1666 when Thomas Royal l immigrated to this country and Isle of Wight County Virginia. The International Genealogical Index (IGI) does not identify him and where in England that he came from. Most likely Thomas was in his twenties when he arrived and 43 years later, he died. I (Jerome Tew) have a copy of one of the most unusual wills that I have ever read. It is the 1709 will of Thomas Ryall. It is not east to decipher this will and it took me and a professional genealogist nearly one month to fully decipher and understand this will. A Thomas Ryall is located in 1720 in Pasquotank area and also a Thomas Ryall is identified in Isle of Wight County, Virginia in 1716 and later Thomas Ryall and Thomas Ryall II are ident ified in 1739. This latter Thomas had a wife named Martha. Records are thin. I (Jerome Te w ) believe that this Thomas Ryall I, to be Thomas Ryall II in the will . Thomas' wife was Isabel Ryall and his five children were George Ryall, Charles Ryall, John Ryall, Thomas Ryal lII and Isabel Ryall Brown. The spelling of the name Royall or Ryall is different, even in the will. The full transcription of this will is posted on the Isle of Wight Count y Virginia site at this address: ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/va/isleofwight/wills/willbk2 .txt Bacon's Rebellion: Ten years after Thomas Royall arriving in America, came Bacon's Rebellion , a 1676 uprising in V irginia of a few hundred farmers of Henrico and Isle of Wig ht Counties against the colonial authorities headed by < Sons Thomas and Joseph were underage in 1709. Anne Bennett was born about 1650 and married Goode about 1667 and died before John Goode wrote his will. *It should be noted that although John Goode was against this rebellion against the King, one hundred years later during the Revolutionary War, the Goode family were a major force as many served the USA. About 1750 the Isle of Wight Court house was moved to the town of Smithfield and three substantial brick buildings were erected, the courthouse, clerk's office and jail, about 2500 people lived in Isle of Wight County, Virginia. A number of those tried for treason, were tried in Isle of Wight County court house. During the Revolutionary War, Colonel Banastre Tarleton' s British Troopers made a raid on Smithfield with the intent to destroy the county records, but they had been removed by the wife of the Deputy Clerk, Mr . Francis Young, who was an officer in the army and was with his regiment, to a farm near Smithfield, and there buried in a box and a hair trunk which trunk is still in possession of the Young family.

| 16698 | NOTE 1./ William Kemp was still a Columbus County justice on Sept. 29, 1834.(94) William Kemp wrote his will on 6 May 1833. He left his wife Lucy all his land adjoining White Marsh, lots in Whiteville, stock, household furniture, slaves Fanny, Rachel, Flora & Fillis; his well-known horses and the plantation where he was living. At her death the land was to be divided between his nephews, Joseph4 and Richard4 Singletary. Richard W. Singletary was to have 150 acres, "including the plantation formerly owned by Robert Carlisle and now in possession of myself and all my lands on West side of big Branch including the plantation where I now live . . ." Joseph K. Singletary was to have all the lands on the east side of Big Branch. Slaves Dorcas, Peggan, Jim & Mariah were to be divided among the heirs of Elizabeth3 (Kemp) Salter, Joseph3 Kemp, Jr. (deceased) and Mary3 (Kemp)(Pointer) Ellis (deceased). Nephew Benjamin4 FitzRandolph (born Kemp) was to have a riding Sulkey and all wearing apparel. Hannah Williams, daughter of Joseph Williams, was to have 100 acres on Sowles Swamp that William3 Kemp had purchased of John Summerset. Executor was Luke R. Simmons, and witnesses were W.D. Gore and Richard W. Singletary. A codicil dated 15 Aug. 1833 changed the recipient of property willed to Richard W. Singletary to the heirs of Joseph Kemp, Jr. (deceased), Mary Ellis and Elizabeth Salter. A second codicil, dated 16 Nov. 1834 revoked the part of the will dealing with Joseph K. Singletary. It gave a life estate in the land to his wife Lucy Kemp, and was to go to Benjamin FitzRandolph at her death. The will was proved in Feb. 1837, when David Smith and James Smith were appointed executors, the former executor having moved away.(95) On 2 May 1837 David Lewis was appointed administrator of the estates of John Kemp, decd. and David W. Kemp, decd. In each case, Absalom Powell provided security on a $3,000 bond.(96) These administrations seem to refer to the two brothers of William3 Kemp who settled in Wayne Co., GA. NOTE 2./ Joseph Kemp married Jane White before 4 April 1756, as on that date her parents gave her a four-year old slave girl named Bess, and they gave Joseph Kemp 203 ½ acres on the NE side of the North West Branch of the Cape Fear River, adjoining lands of Evan Ellis and John White. The deeds, which call Joseph Kemp a cooper, were witnessed by Robert Edwards and James White.(44) It seems likely that these were wedding gifts, since their daughter Mary3 Kemp was born about six months later. NOTE 3./ Joseph2 Kemp, Sr. (William1) was born, say, 1730/33, possibly in SC;(37) died about 21 Feb. 1805 in Bladen Co., NC. He married before 4 April 1759 Jane White, the daughter of John White and Mary Jones of Bladen Co., NC.(38) She was born, say, 1735/40, probably in Bladen Co. Joseph2 Kemp was a planter and a cooper, a person who makes and repairs barrels and casks. His coopering activities may have been in connection with North Carolina's well-known trade in naval stores.(39) By far the most important products produced in the Cape Fear area were tar, pitch and turpentine. Turpentine and tar barrels were lashed together to make huge rafts and floated down the Cape Fear River to Wilmington for transfer to ocean-going vessels. In his youth Joseph2 Kemp, Sr. may also have been associated with his brother Stephen's pack horse ventures. Joseph2 Kemp lived in Anson Co. until his marriage, after which he settled in Bladen Co., where he appears to have amassed a comfortable estate. Like his father, he was a small slaveholder. He signed his earlier deeds with a mark, but may have learned to write later in life. On 5 Nov. 1754 Joseph Kemp of Anson Co. sold to William Haley of VA for 75 pounds 213 acres in Bladen Co. on the east side of the Great Pee Dee River, part of a 600-acre tract laid out for Solomon Hughes and granted 22 May 1741. Joseph Kemp signed the deed with his mark. Witnesses were Joseph Hall, John Webb and Thomas Moorman.(40) The State of North Carolina granted Joseph Kemp 100 acres on Raft Swamp in Cumberland County, "joining the sd. swamp" on 31 March 1755.(41) He witnessed a deed from Edward Elerbee to Alexander Gordon on 24 Jan. 1757.(42) He witnessed a deed from William Hicks of Anson to John Hicks, Jr., of land on the north side of the Pee Dee River, on 27 July 1757. The other witnesses were Alexander Gordon and John Bidingfield.(43) Joseph Kemp married Jane White before 4 April 1756, as on that date her parents gave her a four-year old slave girl named Bess, and they gave Joseph Kemp 203 ½ acres on the NE side of the North West Branch of the Cape Fear River, adjoining lands of Evan Ellis and John White. The deeds, which call Joseph Kemp a cooper, were witnessed by Robert Edwards and James White.(44) It seems likely that these were wedding gifts, since their daughter Mary3 Kemp was born about six months later. At the time of his wedding (if not before) Joseph Kemp moved permanently to Bladen Co., apparently settling on the land his father-in-law had given him. The 1763 tax list of Bladen Co. shows "Kemp, Jos. Spaight, McCoulskey & Porter" with four white polls.(45) Joseph2 Kemp had land transactions in Anson Co. with his brother Stephen2 in 1763 and 1764. According to an abstract, in the 1763 deed both Stephen2 and Joseph2 Kemp are described as "of Augusta".(46) Possibly this means Joseph2 Kemp was affiliated in the business of his brother, a "pack horse man". A deed from Griffith J. White to Isaac Wright of sundry pieces of land included one tract granted to Joseph Kemp in the year 1766 adjoining lands of Matthew and William White and Evan Ellis.(47) John and Mary White granted to their son-in-law Alexander Harvey land in Bladen Co. adjoining Joseph Kemp on the NE side of the NW branch of the Cape Fear River on 3 May 1768.(48) On 14 Nov. 1769 James White, Esq., High Sheriff of Bladen Co. auctioned publicly 100 acres belonging to John Huffman on the south side of Drowning Creek and east of Ashpole or Saddle Tree Swamp. Perhaps the land was seized for tax arrears. The winning bidder, at 6 pounds 6 shillings 4 pence was Joseph Kemp (cooper).(49) Joseph2 Kemp, Senr., was granted 250 acres in Anson Co. on 18 April 1771. He gave that tract to his son David White3 Kemp in 1796.(50) The will of William White of Cumberland Co., NC, dated May 5, 1774, named Joseph2 Kemp as an executor. Joseph2 Kemp may have been William White's brother-in-law.(51) Joseph Kemp appears in the 1781 Bladen Co., tax list.(52) He appears twice in the 1784 Bladen Co. tax list: once in Capt. Irvin's district with 1,403 ½ acres, 2 white polls and 1 black poll, and once in Elizabeth Town with two unimproved lots, Nos. 43 and 52.(53) Joseph Kemp witnessed a power-of-attorney granted 10 April 1784 by his son-in-law Argulus Poynter, blacksmith, to Isaac Jones "to sue for any amounts due me and collect for same."(54) On 6 Nov. 1786 Bartholomew Weston of Nansemond County, VA sold to Joseph Kemp for 25 pounds 500 acres on the SW side of Jones Creek, on Panther Branch, adjoining lands of John White and Davis White, which land was patented by Weston on 4 May 1769. Witnesses were James White and William White.(55) On 9 Sept. 1799 James L. White of Chatham Co., NC sold to Richard Salter 500 acres adjoining lands of Dennis Collums, John White and David White, excluding 32 acres patent entered by Joseph Kemp 19 May 1787. The witnesses were Thomas Richardson and Amos Richardson.(56) In the 1788 Bladen Co. tax list Joseph Kemp Senr. appeared in Capt. Ervin's Dist. with 1,536 acres, 1 town lot, 1 white poll and 3 black polls.(57) The 1790 U.S. census of Bladen Co. shows Joseph Kemp with 3 males over 16, 1 male younger than 16, 2 females, and 3 slaves.(58) The State of North Carolina granted Joseph Kemp 32 acres on Johnson's Lake on 20 Dec. 1791.(59) On the same day he was also granted 100 acres on Panther Branch.(60) On 18 Aug. 1796 Joseph Kemp, Senr. gave to David Kemp, "my son" for "love, good will and affection which I have & bear to my son" 250 acres in Anson Co. on both sides of Browns Creek adjoining lands of Robert White and the land lately occupied by James White, Senr., being the land granted to Joseph Kemp Senr. on 18 April 1771. Witnesses were Robert Harvey and Thomas C. Shaw.(61) Joseph Kemp bought rights to a land grant for Revolutionary War service from James Faison, a private in the Continental Line who showed "signal bravery & persevering Zeal". Consequently, Joseph Kemp received Grant No. 3192 for 274 acres "lying & being in our County of Tennessee on the South side of Cumberland river & on the largest west fork of yellow Creek above Chickasaw trace" on 14 Sept. 1797.(62) Joseph Kemp, Senr. was granted 100 acres on the NE side of Johnston Lake by Grant No. 2269 on 6 Dec. 1799.(63) On 22 Feb. 1803 "Joseph Kemp Senr. . . . for love good will and affection" granted to his granddaughter Anne Jane3 Poynter Lot No. 32 in Elizabeth, Bladen Co., containing ½ acre. Witnesses were J. Ellis (probably John Ellis, Esq., second husband of Mary3 (Kemp)(Pointer) Ellis, and step-father of Anne Jane3 Pointer) and Mary Poynter (probably Mary Turvil3 Pointer, Anne Jane3 Pointer's sister).(64) Joseph2 Kemp died in Bladen Co., shortly after making his will, dated 21 Feb. 1805. It names sons David White, William and John, daughters Elizabeth Salter and Mary Ellis wife of John Ellis, grandsons Joseph Richard Kemp and Joseph Salter son of William Salter, and brother John Kemp. It names as executors William Robeson and James Morehead, and was witnessed by Robert Lytle and J. Kemp.(65) NOTE 4./ Joseph Kemp died in Bladen Co., shortly after making his will, dated 21 Feb. 1805.

| 16699 | NOTE 1./ WilliamRaiford Royal ,or Rafe as he was known, was born in 1869 in Florida to Alexander and Mary Royal. He married Vina Sapp, and inheirited the 360 acres of pine land from his father. Raiford joined the Hamilton County Sheriff's Department and lived in the housing part of the jail with his wife and children, with Vina doing the cooking, not only for her own family, but also any prisoners which might be housed in the jail. On April 15, 1916, Raiford went to arrest Walter Durham, and was murdered with his own gun by the prisnor. The jail where Raiford worked and lived, had it's own hanging tower, but City Fathers chose not to use it when Walter was hung for the death of Deputy Royal, instead, building a scaffolding on the front lawn, where 2ooo people turned out to watch, including the family of the murdered deputy. Walter Durham was the last person East of the Mississippi to be legally hung by execution. The noose which was used is on display in a museum in the Florida State Capital, Tallahassee. | ROYAL, William Raiford (I14615)

| 16700 | NOTE 1./ *****************Originally the Name was "Dunham" in Scotland***************** These are also descendents of the "Denman", "Denham", "Donham" Lines, which is also of the "Debenham's" line! Captain Bentony Eaton of the "Good Ship Charles", brought Sir Richard Dunham, over to VA. and gave him the "Singletary" name so as to conceal his idenity. He was a "Single" child and was always "Tarying" around. Thus the name: ***************************** "Singletary" ******************************************* Richard Dunham was supposedly "Kidnapped", by his fathers Maid Servant and given to the Captain to be taken to the new World so as his Uncle, "Sir Graham Phillip" couldn't have him assinated for the throne when his father died. He was the only Heir left to inherit the "Dunham" Castle. It is now controlled by the "Phillips" to this day! There are records of this on file in Scotland and England! Capt. Eatons son, Thomas Eaton, married Eunice Singletary on Jan 6 1659, in So. Reading, Massachusetts. She was Richard Dunhams, of 1540, Great Grand Daughter. Also in 1674, Capt. Eaton brought Thomas Denman, (Deadman), a "London Prisoner" to MD. Who later, Sept 26, 1680, was transported to VA. by Abraham Weeks and Mr. Hubert Williams, along with 26 other Torie Familys. The Singletary family in the United States with few exceptions is descended from Richard Singletary who was born in Lincolnshire, England in abt. 1540. NOTE 2./ I would suggest "The Singletary Family History 1599-1989" by Yvonne Miller Brunton. It is available through Heritage Papers, Danielsville,Ga. 30633. I knew Mrs. Brunton and her research methods for this book met the highest standards of genealogical research. Yes I have books. We have just had it reprinted and they are $30 + $3 shipping and insurance. If you would like a copy send a check for $33 to me: Kay Covode, 115 Magnolia Ave., Pass Christian, Ms 39571. < NOTE 3./ THE SINGLETARY FAMILY HISTORY 1599-1989 by Yvonne Miller Brunton suggests this family as the possible ancestor of Richard Singletary who came to America. She said "the surname was spelled SINNGLETARYE, SINGLETAIRIE, SYNGLETARY, etc. in different records in England and in the New World. From parish registers we know that both Ralph and his sister Joan who married John Syson had sons named Richard". This is included in this collection without proof and only as a possibility to be researched in the future. 1. Francis1 SINGLETARY. Francis died before 1617 in Surfleet, , Lincolnshire, England. He married Agnes ?. They had 5 children: 2. M i. Ralphe SINGLETARY, born 2 Apr 1592 in Gosberton, , England, died 1662 in Spalding, Wykeham, England.
