THE ROYAL FAMILY OF BURKE COUNTY GEORGIA
(ROYAL, Ryall, Ryle etc.)
It has been said that the Royal family was difficult, if not
impossible to correctly, put together, because the Burke County
Georgia Records were destroyed by fire. To this I agree, the same
is true of all the Old Burke County Georgia Families.
We would like to express our sincere appreciation to those who
made this work possible.
One can be sure, this is one of those early arrivals in St.
George's Parish, Ga. In December 1759 John Royal, (the first to
arrive in Georgia) stating that he had been one year in Ga., has
a wife and three children. Granted 400 acres in November 1764.
In my search I find the Royal Family, is in someway, connected
to almost every family in Burke County Georgia. Let me say that
many of this family, removed to many different location in
Georgia, and other states as well.
I have received material from many Sources on the Royal
Family, be it known, that all information do not agree. We
appreciate the hard work of all participants, we include the
information sent as is, and needless to say, there will be
mistakes, many that I have made, so I ask each of you to forgive
me, and correct and add the missing data. And please share your
correction and or addition with us.
I have tried to put this together and maintain accuracy. My
hope is that this will be a help to those doing research on the
Royal Family. I can not guarantee that every entry is absolutely
accurate or complete, but this is a starting point made possible
by those that were members of, or knew, this Royal Family.
The night of January 24, 1856, a second Burke County Georgia
courthouse burned. All the official records were lost, except
three: a will book, a deed book, and one receipt book (1817-36)
of John Carpenter, the Clerk of the Superior Court. Carpenter
had taken these home in order to work on them at night, or over a
weekend. The will book dates from 1853. A few marriage contracts
for the years 1843 to 1845 were found in some of the deeds. The
surviving receipt book supplies the name of court and county
officers for only a few years, 1821-25. The loss of these records
make our task more difficult.
But thanks to many members of this family, we have compiled
this record for our descendants to maintain.
One source (Ruby Alice Royal) said the Royal Family left
England in 1601 they revolted against high taxes.
THIS IS THE RECORD OF JAMES REDDICK, deceased (with his changes) also that of F. R. Owen of 327 N Beach Street, Ormond Beach, FL 32074.

Charles Royal purchased 640 acres and also received several land grants. He went before the Assembly at New Bern and asked for grants in New Hanover and Duplin Counties, receiving 480 acres in the former and 420 acres in the latter. Charles died 1756, leaving a Will which is in the NC State Archives in Raleigh. Primogeniture was still practiced at that time and so Arthur fell heir to the bulk of his father's estate. On June 13, 1756 Arthur Royal, eldest son and heir of Charles Royal, dec'd sells to Samuel Royal for 100 pounds, 200 acres on S.W. side of N.W. Branch of New River at John Williams corner, Wm.

GENERATION III
6. SAMUEL ROYAL s/o Charles & Sarah b 1729, came to Georgia
1759, died after 1783 but before 1791 he is believed to be the second to come to GA. In February 1761 he petitioned for and was granted 200 acres, stating that he had been two years in GA and has wife and one child. On March 8, 1759 he married Esther Williams in Old Ebenezer Church, at Springfield, GA. He returned to Onslow Co., NC briefly in September 1764 to sell the 200 acres he had bought from his brother Arthur. Samuel m 2nd March 27, 1774 Mrs. Verlinda Godbee. (widow of Henry Godbee). Samuel Royal, et al, all planters of St. George' Parish were fined 4 pounds sterling each for not answering jury call to the Court at Savannah. He fought with the local Militia in the Revolution and was living in 1783. After much study and supposition (due to lack of Burke Co. records before 1856) it is believed that the Royals appearing in the 1820 and 1830 U, S. Census of Burke Co. were his children and grandchildren. It is an impossible task to separate them, but the following miscellaneous Royal data is almost certainly pertaining to Samuel's descendants.

3rd GENERATION;
Son of Charles & Sarah Royal.
Arthur Royal b ? d ? m Ann COX d/o Charles Cox of Onslow Co., NC. he refused to fight in the Revolution and was amerced Jul 1782, he died in Jul 1798.
Arthur and Ann Cox Royal had four known children:
1. Moses Royal b. 13 Sep 1764, no other data.
2. Samuel Royal b. ? d. 6 Mar 1809 in Bulloch Co., GA. m. 1st
Elizabeth Campbell m. 2nd Elizabeth Lanier.
3. Charles David b 25 Jul 1770 d 30 Jun 1836 m 1st Elizabeth ? m. 2nd 2 Apr 1802 Mary Boston. m. 3rd 5 May 1808 Christina Smith.
4. Mary Royal b. 1773, m. Spencer COX s/o Capt. Charles Cox of Onslow Co., NC.
SAMUEL ROYAL is believed to be the second to come to GA. In
Feb 1761 he petitioned for and was granted 200 acres, stating
that he had been two years in GA. and has wife and one child.
On March 8, 1759 he married 1st Esther Williams in the Old
Ebenezer Church at Springfield, GA. He returned to Onslow Co., NC. briefly in September 1764 to sell the 200 acres he had bought from his brother Arthur. His wife Esther died and on March 27, 1774 he married 2nd in Effingham Co., GA. Verlinda Godbee, widow of Henry Godbee, Henry was the first to come to St. George's Parish with his nephew William Godbee. In 1774-1775 Samuel Royal, et al, all planters of St. George' Parish were fined 4 pounds sterling each for not answering jury call to the Court at Savannah. He fought with the local Militia in the Revolution and was living in 1783.
In 1792 on a land Plat we find," Widow Royal" (who is
Verlinda) is back in Burke Co., GA. n the old creek road with two of her children, Cary & Stephen Godbee. We conclude Samuel Royal died before that date.
It is the opinion of Willard Godbee Sr. that Henry & Verlinda
Godbee had among their children;
1. Samuel Godbee m Elizabeth Moore.
2. Cary Godbee m Mary ???.
3. Stephen Godbee m 1st Elizabeth Somner. m 2nd Margaret Prescott.
William Tripett is the son of Samuel Royal, Jr. and his
unknown wife. Samuel is the son of Samuel, Sr. and Verlinda
Godbee. Verlinda is the widow of Henry Godbee.
William Triplett married first Harriet Godbee. Harriet is
the daughter of Stephen Godbee and Margaret Prescott. Stephen
is the son of Henry Godbee and Verlinda.
If this is correct, Verlinda is the mother of the
above Stephen Godbee and Samuel Royal, Jr. Verlinda would be
grand-mother, of William Triplett Royal, and his wife
Harriett Godbee. (ed by Willard Godbee, Sr. a descendant )

A complete family history below.
Benjamin Franklin Royal enlisted in the Confederate Army

Volunteers. He is at Harper"s Ferry in October 1862.
On 20 Jul 1863 he is at Chimborazo Hospital, Richmond,

Henry W. Ryals, II appears to have married late, after 1870
since the 1870 Census of Tattnall County shows him alone in
his household and working as a farmer. He also appears to have
been successful in accumulating considerable wealth as evidenced
by the petition of his son Mallard to have a guardian appointed
for him in 1925. The petition states a value of real and personal
property of $25.000.
Ann Wedincamp, while the wife of Henry W. Ryals, II inherited
from her father's estate the amount of $1200 with which she
appears to have bought from her husband the "Dick Strickland"
place. A deed was never executed for this purchase and that
became the central issue in a suit against Henry by his children
Mallard and Annie and grandchildren Nellie Still and Jessie and
Henry Lee Copps. See 162 Georgia Reports, Pages 413 - 422, No
5069 June 25, 1926. The children won the suit which gave them
proportionate shares of the property as heirs of their mother.
The verdict was appealed to the Georgia Supreme Court and upheld
with one dissenting opinion.
In his old age, Henry lived with his daughter Susanah Ryals
McArthur and she was named executrix of his estate. Henry's death
certificate is signed by his son-in-law W. T. McArthur, N.P.
(notary public)

There is a family legend that Henry Ryals was kidnapped by gypsies
when he was a young boy and that he served them as a grome for
some years before escaping at age 14 near Daring, Georgia. I have
found no substantiation of this so far.

Dear Dale,
Sorry I missed the reunion, I hope all enjoyed it.
Dale I appreciate the paper, but that wasn't necessary, I haven't been able to put all the Royal Family together, as you can see. I hope you can help with this seemingly impossible task. I have received bits and pieces from many sources, which is helpful but sometimes hard to put together. Any way I am sending you all I have as I received it. The spelling, names, dates, and duplications, have not been corrected in many cases.
If you can help in any way please furnish me the changes.
Sincerely
Willard Godbee, Sr.
