Hi, Jennifer. Armilda here.
I am also looking for "proof" of the father/son relationship between John Cary and Richard Wiatt Royston. Many genealogies show this relationship, but so far, I have seen no documented proof. Have you been able to establish this relationship? John Cary was my ggg grandfather and Richard Wiatt my gggg grandfather, according to everything I have seen. Thank you for anything you can tell me about this!

Rebeckah Royston was the 2nd child of George and Rebeckah Royston, Quakers who lived in what is now Calvert Co MD in the late 1600s.

From combined minutes of West River, Cliffs, Patuxent Meetings: page 68:

George ROYSTON and Rebecka CULLIN, intentions to marry 28th day 10th month,1683

From "Quaker Records of Southern Maryland” - Cliffs Monthly Meeting Register, 1662-1782 (approximately Calvert Co, MD) page 51:

Abell ROYSTON, son of George and Rebeckah ROYSTON b. 5th day of 11th month, 1686/7
Rebeckah ROYSTON, dau of George and Rebeckah ROYSTON b. 9th day of 2nd month, 1689
George ROYSTON, son of George and Rebeckah ROYSTON, b. 14th day of 5th month, 1691
John ROYSTON, son of George and Rebeckah ROYSTON, b. 1st day of 3rd month, 1694

Friends' review, Volume 15 edited by Samuel Rhoads, Enoch Lewis, J. Tatum., 1862. (Google eBook):

On 10 August 1697, the Governor and Council of Maryland issued an instruction “commanding the various Shefiffs of the Province to return a list of what Romish Priests and Lay Brothers are resident of their respective Counties and what Churches, Chapels or places of worship they have,--what manner of buildings they are, and in what places they situate,--and return also a like account about the Quakers and other dissenters from the Church of England, and of their places of worship, &c.” . . . The Sheriff of Calvert County returns that “the Quakers have one very old meeting house near Leonard’s Creek, and one place of meeting in the dwelling house of George Royston, at the Cliffs.”

I have continued my research into that side of the family. They are abit of mystery. Elizabeth has gone by several names on documents: Eishmann, Hashman, Ashman and even Ellen Ashman, Helen Ashban. Also the documents showing their ages when they came to australia do not match their births in canada. I also found the birth of a son William Royston in Canada but not James? not sure if these are the same person. What can you tell me from your end?

Hi, I am a relative of James Jacob Royston. His son Jacob Armine married Eliza Jane Young. I have a Australian Death Index for Jacob that lists his mothers name as Elizabeth Eishmann. Does that help? What else did you want to know?

Re: Roystons in VA

BobBrawley — 2011-03-06 04:44:35Z

I just saw that name powell royston. He was born in 1909.That date fits perfectly to a class photo of students who appear to be in about the sixth grade in Berryville Va. in 1920. One of the boys on the Bottom row looks like Pamie Royston Who was born in 1920. So this isn't a photo of Pamie, Could Pamie and Powell have the same ancestors?
I wouldn't expect you to identify this 11 yr, old as Powell but you may be able to see the family resemnblence to one of your brothers or childern or a male cousin. I don
t know how to post the photo maybe the Royston of Clarke county that post on this board could do so. The photo is titled "School class-Miss Fritts-C.1920" the Clarke Couinty historical Association Cat. number is 2004.00012.064

The "Miss Fritts" mentioned in the title is not the class school teacher I don't believe but a student as well Born about 1909 but more likely a little latter. It's my impression that the Fritts and the Royston married back in the 1890s but I'm not sure. This girls name should be Mary Lou Fritts then she marriered a Wisecarver

If someone could reconize the boy at the bottom of the photo "School Class-Miss Fritts" as being a Royston then that would futher cement the likely hood that he is Powell Royston . There are four other childern that were born in 1909 identified from there Highschool freshmen photo

Hello. What can you tell me about a Maria Royston. My
great grandmother was given the land after Maria died.
I assume this because my great grandmother and grandmother
lived there a long time. I visited there many times. Next to them was the Rilee family. Thank You.

George Palmer

slestini — 2010-06-01 17:30:10Z

I see that you have started a tree for George Palmer. In your records you list Lysander and Mary Ann Palmer. They were not siblings but married. Lysander is a son of George and Penelope and Mary Ann is his wife. Are you certain that George was born in Baltimore? I had always thought he was born in England but have never verified that fact. I am a descendant of Lysander and Mary Ann's son, Tom. I think tom was the youngest of their 10 children (9 sons and 1 girl).
I would appreciate any info you have about George's parents and birth or his descendants. Thank you.

Re: Royston-Didlake Connection

mrr98201 — 2009-11-06 19:24:23Z

Yes, Doug,

I think the Samuel you are referring to was actually a "Royster" and not a Royston. The name is continully given as Royster in the land tax roles of Gloucester Co. The children of Richard Wiatt Royston, who you have listed only received their land after their father died. Samuel did not inherit his 75 acres like the Royston children did, but had it before Richard Wiatt Royston died.

I don't think there was a Lawrence Royston. You wouldn't happen to remember where you found the name Lawrence Royston would you? or was it just a typo?

Anyway, I thought I would clear a little of it up for you.

Mary Royston, wife of John Pate 1677-1706, Gloucester County, Virginia?

a12j02 — 2009-07-21 16:41:45Z

John Pate was the oldest son of Col. Thomas Pate who died in Yorktown in 1703. Relatively little seems to be known about his life. Below I will present a timeline of his life and some additional information. To the best of my knowledge, this represents the most complete and comprehensive study on John Pate.

I would appreciate any information which could be provided to help answer the following questions:

1. What was the name of John's wife, and what is known about her? A Pate researcher had received unconfirmed information that John was married to a Mary Royston. After John died at only age 29, she married a second time (name unknown).

2. What are the names of John's children? Only one child is known, and that is Sarah Pate who married Col. Wilson Cary, whose father Miles Cary was a member of the Council of State. (See more below.) I assume that he had no sons since his 2100-acre plantation did not go to a Pate son after his death.

3. Does anyone have a copy of his will? There are several references to a will (see below). It is interesting that he left a will at all, since he was only 29 years old when he died.

4. What connections did he have to John Wills, or connections of the Pate family to the Wills family?

There is a plausible explanation why John Pate received recognition at such an early age. He was fourth generation of a family that had been prominent in Virginia, both in Gloucester County and colonial governemnt, and had inherited a large family estate. Many wealthy Virginia planters sent their sons back to England for education, and I believe the scholarly books in the Cary family's Ceelys Library, previously owned by John Pate, indicates that he had been well-educated.

A. J. Pate

_____________________________

TIMELINE OF JOHN PATE 1677-1706

1677 John, the first child of Col. Thomas and Elizabeth Pate, born on April 27, Abingdon Parish Register, Gloucester County, Virginia

1703 His father, Col. Thomas Pate died, about age 53.

1704 John owned 1100 acres on the Gloucester Rent Roll, Petsworth Parish, and 1000 acres on the King and Queen County Rent Roll. This was the Pate Plantation that his father Thomas inherited from his uncle John. John apparently inherited the plantation by primogeniture.

1705 The vestry of Petsworth Parish, Gloucester County, selected John Pate as a vestryman to replace a deceased member on October 3. John must have been an impressive young man, since he was only 28 years old. This was a position of honor and responsibility and said to be "represented by gentlemen still living upon their ancestral estates".

1706 The Council of State appointed John Pate as a Justice of the Peace for Gloucester County, March 28, along with Thomas Read and Phillip Smith.

1706 John Pate is shown as a vestryman in the vestry book at its next meeting on April 23. Then at the next meeting recorded, John Pate was reported as deceased.

1706 At the next meeting vestry meeting recorded, John Pate was reported as deceased. Tragically, he was only 29 years old, dying between April 23 and October 9 of 1706.

1715 "Aug 16: John Wills: King and Queen County: 130 acres together with a little island being included adjoining to a tract of land devised to said Wills by John Pate, in his last will. Bounded by the main creek of Poropotank." Land Patents # 10 1710-1719 pg 243 on reel 10: Library of Virginia Archives Section.

c. 1728 John's daughter, Sarah c.1705-1783, married Col. Wilson Cary c.1701-1772, scion of a prominent and wealthy family. Their second daughter, Mary, was thought to be George Washington's "first sweetheart".

1744 On August 30, "Records of Colonial Gloucester County, Virginia", refers to "1141 acs. granted to Wingfield Webb & Richard Pate, Gentlemen, 1650, and by divers conveyances assigned to Wilson Cary".

_____________________________

Published references to John Pate

This John Pate is possibly the father of Mrs. Wilson Cary. I have in my library several volumes bearing the autograph "John Pate, 1706," on the title page above that of Colonel Wilson Cary (possibly his son-in-law), and to increase the probabilities, I would add, that I have also a volume showing in like manner the signature of Colonel Thomas Milner, and beneath it that of his son-in-law, Colonel Miles Cary. Now Colonel Wilson Cary in his will devises to his son lands lying on both sides of Poropotank, in the counties of Gloucester and King and Queen. These Gloucester lands, it is true, may have been subsequent purchases, and thus my theory that Colonel Cary acquired them through marriage might be untenable, still there is nothing to show that Miles Cary may not have been induced to invest in these very lands by the fact of his elder brother already having acquired property in Gloucester by marriage. However this may be, there certainly had been intermarriages between the Cary, Pate and Wills families.

"Some Prominent Virginia Families", by Louise Pecquet du Bellet, 1907.

_____

Among the remnants of the Ceelys library are several books (e.g., Dryden's Miscellany Poems, iii, 1693, and v, 1703; Echard's Ecclesiastical History, 1702) bearing on the title- page the signature of "John Pate," the last with the date 1706 appended. Moreover, Colonel Wilson Cary by will disposed of lands lying on Poropotank Creek in Gloucester and King and Queen, the acquisition of which was not readily explainable except on the assumption of inheritance. It appears also from casual mention in the York records that Miles Cary was administrator of the estate of Edward Pate and that-a Miles Cary (probably Miles, Jr., of Potash Creek) was executor of John Pate under a will, now lost with the Gloucester records; while John Pate appears on the Virginia Quit Rent Rolls of 1704 as the owner of lands on Poropotank in Gloucester and King and Queen.

"The Virginia Carys", by Fairfax Harrison, 1919

_____

In 1715, one John Wills patents "130 acres in Gloucester, bounded by the main creek of Poropotank, adjoining a tract, devised to said Wills by Mr. John Pate in his last will." This John Pate is possibly the father of Mrs. Wilson Cary. I have in my library several volumes bearing the autograrph "John Pate, 1706," on the title page above that of Colonel Wilson Cary (possibly his son-in-law), and to increase the probabilities, I would add that I have also a volume showing in like manner the signature of Colonel Thomas Milner, and beneath it that of his son-in-law, Colonel Miles Cary. Now Colonel Wilson Cary in his will devises to his son lands lying on both sides of Poropotank, in the counties of Gloucester and King and Queen. These Gloucester lands it is true, may have been subsequent purchases, and thus my theory that Colonel Cary acquired them through marriage might be untenable, still there is nothing to show that Miles Cary may not have been induced to invest in these very lands by the fact of his elder brother already having acquired property in Gloucester by marriage. However this may be, there certainly had been intermarriages between the Cary, Pate and Hills families.

Hope you can help me.

I recently discovered that my dad's uncle's daughter Jane Miller (my cousin) married Ackley Kendall Royston in 1949. They had a son Ackley Kendall, Jr.

Ackley Sr. was the son of Wilmer Royston who was from Fauquire & Shenandoah Cos.

Anyway, short of sending a letter to Ackley Jr. (who of couse has no idea who I am), I thought I'd start here -

I am wondering if any of you might be related to this branch of the Roystons?

Re: Roystons in VA

gposton106 — 2008-12-12 12:24:07Z

My Grandmother was Lucy E. Royston. She was born in 1906 or so in Boyce or White Post Virginia. Her father was John Royston who was married twice. His first wife died, then later he married my grandmother's mother Elizabeth Sipe. I know that John Royston had two sets of children. One with his first wife, and one w/ my great grandmother Sipe. The only name I remember from the fist set was Powell. Grandma had 2 sisters, Mary and Maude, and a brother Albert. There is also a Mamie Royston who was buried in Middleburg Virginia that I believe was John Royston's sister.

I'm looking for descendants of either a Thomas J. Royston or Herbert A. Royston. Herbert married Marian Gage on Oct 27, 1888. Their children were Earl Gage Royston, Willard, Clyde, Lillian, Mary and Marian Royston. They were living in Florida Circa 1900.

Allied family would be Ervin.

I would like to share what info I have with you. Maybe we have a common heritage.
The Rebecca Royston (b. 1764) I have married James Paterson in Christ Church. I have her as the daughter of Richard Wiatt Royston, son of John Royston, son of Thomas Royston.

My own search if for the ancestors of Peter Royston b. 1776, who married Ann Anderson in 1801 in Frederick Co., VA. I have quite a few Roystons in my file who were from or near the Gloucester Co. area.

Who are you looking for? Are you a Royston descendant? Email me at Roy061237@aol.com
My provider tells me your address is "too long."
