JOSEPH ROYALL was born about 1600 in London, England. By age twenty he was an English ship's master. In 1622, Joseph Royall came to Jamestown, Virginia from England on the ship, CHARITIE.
His first wife's surname was Tomasin and by 1637 had married his second wife, Ann.

On or about 1645, Joseph Royall married KATHERINE BANKS of Northamptonshire, England. They were married in Henrico County, Virginia. Her father was Christopher Banks. This is my line of ancestry.

Katherine's second husband was Henry Isham, Sr. Katherine Banks Royall Isham was ggg-grandmother of Thomas Jefferson, 3rd President of the United States.

ROYALL is a French name. Joseph Royall built the estate "Doghams" which was named after the French river D'Augham. Doghams was located on the banks of the James River above "Shirley Hundred", Charles City, Virginia.
This land remained in the Royall family for about 300 years. Recently, Dogham Farm has 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.
