Joseph Royall, IV

Joseph Royal III, son of Joseph Royal II and Katherine Banks, married twice, the second wife being the widow Mary Archer. Therefore, Joseph Royal IV is the son of Joseph Royall III and Mary Royall, the former widow Archer. He is NOT the son of Joseph Royall and Mary Eppes Hardeman.

There is NO proof that Joseph Royall married Mary Eppes Hardeman.

Joseph Royall married Elizabeth Kennon in December 1698 in Henrico County, Virginia, at St John's Church.[2]

Children (named in Joseph's 1747 will):

1. Mary Royall, married before 1747/8 (named Mary Farrar in her father's will)
