John Royall (ca. 1719-1795) patented 300 acres of land in Edgecombe County, North Carolina in 1742 and lived in Edgecombe about 20 years before moving to Duplin County, now Sampson County. He was the son of Cornelius Royall, Sr. (ca. 1688-ca. 1745) & Elizabeth (Barnesfeld) Royall. John was a *Patriot Soldier during the Revolutionary War and drew three Revolutionary War service pay vouchers.
A son of John Royall of Colonial Sampson County was Marmaduke Royal - born in 1750 in Edgecombe Co. NC. Marmaduke ROYAL/Royals (Ryal/Ryals), Private, NC Line and Duplin County Militia Soldier is listed in NC Rev. War Army Accounts, Vol. V, Bk 180, # 40 M as receiving a pay voucher for 30/12/0 pounds.

Marmaduke's son Hardy Royal/Royals >>> Ryal/Ryals- was a soldier in the War of 1812 and was in the 4th NC Regiment and 5th Company. He is said to have served with Andrew Jackson in the Battle of the Creek Indian Nation and Horseshoe Bend near Auburn, Alabama and later in the Battle of New Orleans. Coming back from New Orleans, General Jackson took his army through Marion County in the Mississippi Territory and then north to Tennessee. When Hardy returned home he had stories of a beautiful new land in Mississippi that no one owned. His father Marmaduke was soon ready to move to this new land. Marmaduke sold all his property in Sampson County and started on a move in 1815 that ended in Marion County, Mississippi. He took his four youngest sons with him.
