Research Notes

Some suggest this person is named William Owen Royal, probably because he possesses land in Duplin County patented to Owen Royal in 1767. What they overlook is a deed from Owen Royal to William granting him this land in 1773.[2]

There is no evidence supporting a name of William Owen Royal for this person and ample evidence of there being two such people to refute any such assertion.

Royal-115 and Royal-107 appear to represent the same person because: Hello,

While both of these profiles are a bit of a mess now, they certainly represent the same person. It's better to have one mess than two. I'll do what I can to clean it up as well.
