William Randolph married (1680) Mary Isham, daughter of Henry Isham, of Burmuda Hundred on James River, and Catherine, his wife (maiden name unknown). Their children, arranged in order, by John Randolph of Roanoke, are as follows: 1. William Randolph, Jr., known as Councillor Randolph, b. at Turkey Island, Nov. 1681. Married (1705) Elizabeth Beverly. 2. Thomas Randolph, b. at Turkey Island, June, 1683, settled at Tuckahoe on James River, Goochland Co., Va. Married (1710) Judith Churchill. 3.

Robert Yates. Their daughter, Catherine, married Dr. Robert Wellford, a surgeon in the English army, who settled in Fredericksburg. (See Secretary Nelson's record.)

A family in England bearing the name of de Isham or Isham has existed over a period of eight hundred and fifty years. For about three hundred and forty years the line is somewhat uncertain, but from the year 1424 to the present time the family may be definitely traced in its ancient home in Northamptonshire, England. In the sixteenth century the fortunes of the family began to improve and in 1627 the then representative of the family was made a baronet, a title which has continued to the present time, although not in the direct line. The account of the Isham family is based upon the researches of the Rev. Henry Isham Longden, who was born at Lamport, the seat of the baronets Isham, and who had the use of the very extensive archives and family papers there preserved. Other families bearing the name are found in Shropshire and Somersetshire.

Henry Isham of the ancient house of Pitchley emigrated to Virginia. Who his first wife was is unknown: several references to her suggest her name to Elizabeth. Phoebe Isham is a daughter from this marriage and a son, Edward or Edmund. He had no surviving son by his second wife Kathrine:(Henry jr. died at an early age), daughters Mary and Ann Isham from this marriage.

"The Virginians themselves are inclined to suspect that Henry had more children by his first wife Elizabeth???

son Henry by his second wife mentions only his immediate family in his will. Philip Alexander Bruce says there is a possible daughter who married a Cherstain--otherwise he cannot account for an Isham Cherstain, except as a fancy name.

Phoebe, that married Robert Belcher, shows up in Virginia b: 1649-50 there in Henrico county, the only possibility of being Henrys daughter, the other daughters and son henry were not born til around 1660. Katherine out lived henry and married again and had other children this leads us to believe Henry was older and Katherine Younger when he married her, giving rise to the fact he was married before.

Edward Isham a son by the first marriage: possible descendents

John Isham in Henry County in Nansemond, further west toward Kentucky--he very likely from Edward; Ann Isham Gordon as late as 1796 (will) of Prince George county, near Bermuda Hundred.

15. EUSEBY ISHAM (Sir Euseby, Gregory, Euseby), baptized Mar. 20, 1586-87 at Braunston; married Susan, widow of Daniel Kechen. In 1630 he was dwelling at Pytchley. No issue.

16. WILLIAM ISHAM (Sir Euseby, Gregory, Euseby), baptized Mar. 20, 1587-88 at Braunston; married at Toddington, county Bedford, Aug. 15, 1625, Mary Brett, sister of Sir Edward Brett of Bexley in Kent, knight, serjeant-porter to the king, whose will of Dec. 22, 1682, proved Mar. 17, 1683-84, mentions his Virginia nephew, Henry Isham (Henry sr's son by Katherine), deceased, and his two daughters.

16. WILLIAM, bapt. Mar. 20, 1587-88; m. Mary Brett; was living 1627. CHILDREN

Euseby, bapt. June 7, 1626, at Pytchley; d. Jan. 30, 1653-54, and was buried at Wroxton near Banbury in Oxfordshire, with an inscription on a small brass.

The inscription is as follows: Heare lyeth the body of Euseby Isam sonne of William Isam of Pichly in the conty of North-hampton, esquire, buryed the 31 day of Ianuary anno domini 1653. "The family had no connection that I know of with Wroxton, and there was no reason why he should have been buried there, unless the young man (he was only twenty-seven) in the troubles of the time fell in some skirmish or brawl. The register of the church is badly kept, and makes no mention even of his burial, nor does the name of Isham occur in it. I conclude he was almost without doubt unmarried."

24. Henry, of Bermuda Hundred upon James River in Henrico county, Virginia;m#1 Elizabeth Anne. #2 m: Katherine Banks

17. THOMAS ISHAM (Sir Euseby, Gregory, Euseby), baptized Dec. 20, 1600; died Feb. 6, 1669-70, and was buried at Wheatfield, where his monument remains; married at Pytchley Aug. 28, 1628, Elizabeth Denton, baptized at Stowe May 6, 1610, daughter of Sir Thomas Denton of Hillesden, Bucks, knight. She died Sept. 20, 1667, and was buried at Hillesden, where her monument remains.

Thomas Isham resided at Radclive, county Buckingham, and at Wheatfield, county Oxford. He and his wife are often named in the well-known letters of the Verney family and he was fined œ10 in 1649 by the parliamentary committee, having compounded, on June 28 of that year, lest his estate should be sequestrated for anything said or done by him during the first civil war. His wife's Buckinghamshire connections may have been the reason for his keeping house at Radclive, but he was of Wheatfield, Feb. 1, 1669-70, when he made his will. CHILDREN

Euseby, d. in infancy and was buried Aug. 2, 1629, at Hillesden.

Thomas, b. at Wheatfield, where the registers are lost; d. unmarried July 17, 1676, and was buried at Hillesden, with a monument. He matriculated at Merton College, Oxford, Mar. 31, 1664, being then aged seventeen and received B.A. June 20, 1667; barrister-at-law of the Middle Temple in 1675. By his will of June 13, 1676, he gave œ400 in trust, to be paid to the heir apparent or heir male of the body of his cousin german, Henry Isham of Virginia, if such heir should come to reside in England for one whole year. He gave to his uncle Denton, a doctor of physic œ100, and other sums to his cousins Alexander Denton, a doctor of the Middle Temple, George Nicholas of Covent Garden and Anne his wife and Robert Dormer, a barrister of Lincoln's Inn, but all his lands and real estate he gave to his friend and cousin, Francis Drake of Stratton Audley. By a codicil of July 17, 1676, he gave his law books and notes to Nicholas Page and his best piece of plate to "my cousin Anne Woodward, my dear Franck Drake's mother." A memorandum added to the will, which was proved July 20, 1676, by Francis Drake, the executor, explains that a reason for the Virginian legacy was, that Sir Edward Brett might be encouraged to be very kind to the Virginian cousin "and therefore I begg his kindness for his kinsman and mine."

Anne, buried at Hillesden Sept. 9, 1632, an infant.

18. SIR JOHN ISHAM of Lamport (Thomas, John of Lamport, Euseby), born on Friday July 27, 1582, according to father's notes; died at Lamport July 8, 1651, and was buried the next day at Lamport under a tombstone of black marble; married at Brixworth Oct. 19, 1607, Judith Lewin, born about Oct. 31, 1590, died June 25, 1625, in thirty-fifth year and was buried at Lamport, a tablet of black marble over the altar describing her as "Daughter to learned William Lewin." She was the youngest daughter of William Lewin of Otteringden in Kent, a doctor of the civil law and a judge of the prerogative court.

Sir John's godfathers were John Isham his grandfather, then sheriff of Northamptonshire, and his great-uncle Henry Isham, citizen of London and controller of the Custom House and his godmother, Alice, wife of Thomas Aldershawe.

On May 30, 1627, he had a patent of a baronetcy from King Charles II. He added to the family estates by buying from Francis Saunders, esquire, the manor of Shangton in Leicestershire on Apr. 15, 1637, for a sum of œ12,225, but his sympathy for the royal cause impoverished the family, the king borrowing money of him and the parliament sequestrating his estates.

Elizabeth Isham the wyfe & widow of Thomas Isham Esquire my loving and religious mother daparted this lyfe on the 9th day of August being Thursday betweene the houres of 9 & 10 of the clok in the forenoone Anno Domini 1621 and was buried on the Saturday following she having lived in the worlde 69 yeares wanting 7 weekes, Shee kept

24. HENRY ISHAM (William, Sir Euseby, Gregory, Euseby), date of birth and death unknown; married #1 unknown #2 Katharine Banks, daughter of (???) Banks of Canterbury. Her will was proved Dec. 1, 1686, in Virginia. She had married second, Joseph Royall or Ryal, and perhaps had issue by him. As Captain Harry Isham of Bermuda Hundred, he is named in the will of John Smith of Bristol in 1676, and he was also a legatee in the will of Sir Edward Brett of Bexley. Children: Worthy to note here:

Henry is reputed to have had other Children by his first wife: Several sons and a daughter:

Many genealogies have Phoebe Isham listed as the first daughter born: This Phoebe Isham was married to Robert Belcher.

She was not mentioned in her stepbrothers will nor was any other earlier children of Henry's.

Children of Henry and Katherine Banks Royall:

Henry, of Henrico county in Virginia, to whom Thomas Isham of the Middle Temple, his cousin german once removed, gave a legacy in his will of June 13, 1676, on condition that he should come back to spend a whole year in England. This legacy was a fatal one for he d. on his voyage from England to Virginia after the completion of the year. His will of Nov. 13, 1678, was proved in London June 5, 1680, and in Virginia Feb. 1, 1678-79, by William Randolph the executor. He gave legacies to his half-brother, Joseph Ryalland to his mother, Mrs. Katharine Isham. His plantation, called Doggams, in Charles City county in Virginia, he bequeathed to his sisters Mrs. Mary Randolph and Mrs. (i.e. Mistress, now Miss) Anne Isham, and the residue of his estate in Virginia and England to Mr. William Randolph. He was never m. and was probably the last male of the elder line of the Ishams of Pytchley.

Mary, m. in or before 1678 to William Randolph of Turkey Island in Virginia.

Anne, unmarried at the date of her brother's will of 1678. In 1685 she was m. to Francis Eppes, Jr.

The ancestry of Henry Isham of Virginia has become known through the researches of Rev. Henry Isham Longden, who was born at Lamport, and is a distinguished antiquary and genealogist of Northamptonshire families. He was M.A. of Keble College, Oxford and rector of Heyford, county Northampton, and later of a parish of Northampton itself. In 1898 he published a book having the title: Some Notes on Sir Euseby Isham of Pytchley in the County of Northampton with special reference to his Virginian Descendants. London: Mitchell and Hughes, 140 Wardour Street, 1898. He gave me a copy of this rare work in 1908, which is now given to the Connecticut Historical Society at Hartford, Conn. I give the gist of his researches in his own words:

I have not given all the Randolph particulars in this pedigree, but I must just say that Richard Randolph is given two brothers, Thomas Randolph the Poet, and Henry Randolph of Randolph's River, near Apomatocks, who left issue. Their father's habitation was Morton Hall in or near Warwick; but in these particulars there is not complete accuracy.

Some further notes there are, written about the manuscript probably by the person who handed in the Pedigree.

To enquire after the estate of Sr. Eusebius Isham of Pitchley in Northampton, and another estate of his named Isham; endeavor to see will.

Mrs Isham's estate in Gloucestershr, she was dau'r in Law to Christian Policy Clerk in the same County.

The estate of Sr Edward Brett in Kent known by the name of Blendome (on) Hall (in Bexle parish Dec. 22, 1682, probate Mar. 17, 1683, codicil Nov. 7, 1683), his will dated 1684.

The Family of Wathews Banks in Kent. Hare 27, Mar. 27, 1684.

a son of William Isham and Mary Brett, who were married at Toddington, where many of the Brett family occur in parish registers.

Henry, the only son, died as a young man. His will (P. C.C., 81 Bath), dated 13 November 1678, was proved in Virginia 1 February 1678-9 and in London 5 June 1680 by William Randolph his executor. After bequests to his half-brother Joseph Royalland others, he leaves to his honoured mother Mrs. Katherine Isham one-third of his estate "both of what is in Virginia and England"; to his sister Mrs. Anne Isham a third; and his plantation in Charles City County in Virginia, commonly known as Doggams, equally between his two sisters Mrs. Mary Randolph and Mrs. Anne Isham. Mr. William Randolph to be his residuary legatee and sole executor. Mary Isham had married Col. William Randolph, and on the latter's monument she is described as daughter

Phoebe, that married Robert Belcher, shows up in Virginia b: 1649-50 there in Henrico county, the only possibility of being Henrys daughter, the other daughters and son henry were not born til around 1660. Katherine out lived henry and married again and had other children this leads us to believe Henry was older and Katherine Younger when he married her, giving rise to the fact he was married before.

Edward Isham a son by the first marriage: possible descendents

John Isham in Henry County in Nansemond, further west toward Kentucky--he very likely from Edward; Ann Isham Gordon as late as 1796 (will) of Prince George county, near Bermuda Hundred.

15. EUSEBY ISHAM (Sir Euseby, Gregory, Euseby), baptized Mar. 20, 1586-87 at Braunston; married Susan, widow of Daniel Kechen. In 1630 he was dwelling at Pytchley. No issue.

16. WILLIAM ISHAM (Sir Euseby, Gregory, Euseby), baptized Mar. 20, 1587-88 at Braunston; married at Toddington, county Bedford, Aug. 15, 1625, Mary Brett, sister of Sir Edward Brett of Bexley in Kent, knight, serjeant-porter to the king, whose will of Dec. 22, 1682, proved Mar. 17, 1683-84, mentions his Virginia nephew, Henry Isham (Henry sr's son by Katherine), deceased, and his two daughters.

16. WILLIAM, bapt. Mar. 20, 1587-88; m. Mary Brett; was living 1627. CHILDREN

Euseby, bapt. June 7, 1626, at Pytchley; d. Jan. 30, 1653-54, and was buried at Wroxton near Banbury in Oxfordshire, with an inscription on a small brass.

The inscription is as follows: Heare lyeth the body of Euseby Isam sonne of William Isam of Pichly in the conty of North-hampton, esquire, buryed the 31 day of Ianuary anno domini 1653. "The family had no connection that I know of with Wroxton, and there was no reason why he should have been buried there, unless the young man (he was only twenty-seven) in the troubles of the time fell in some skirmish or brawl. The register of the church is badly kept, and makes no mention even of his burial, nor does the name of Isham occur in it. I conclude he was almost without doubt unmarried."

24. Henry, of Bermuda Hundred upon James River in Henrico county, Virginia;m#1 Elizabeth Anne. #2 m: Katherine Banks

17. THOMAS ISHAM (Sir Euseby, Gregory, Euseby), baptized Dec. 20, 1600; died Feb. 6, 1669-70, and was buried at Wheatfield, where his monument remains; married at Pytchley Aug. 28, 1628, Elizabeth Denton, baptized at Stowe May 6, 1610, daughter of Sir Thomas Denton of Hillesden, Bucks, knight. She died Sept. 20, 1667, and was buried at Hillesden, where her monument remains.

Thomas Isham resided at Radclive, county Buckingham, and at Wheatfield, county Oxford. He and his wife are often named in the well-known letters of the Verney family and he was fined œ10 in 1649 by the parliamentary committee, having compounded, on June 28 of that year, lest his estate should be sequestrated for anything said or done by him during the first civil war. His wife's Buckinghamshire connections may have been the reason for his keeping house at Radclive, but he was of Wheatfield, Feb. 1, 1669-70, when he made his will. CHILDREN

Euseby, d. in infancy and was buried Aug. 2, 1629, at Hillesden.

Thomas, b. at Wheatfield, where the registers are lost; d. unmarried July 17, 1676, and was buried at Hillesden, with a monument. He matriculated at Merton College, Oxford, Mar. 31, 1664, being then aged seventeen and received B.A. June 20, 1667; barrister-at-law of the Middle Temple in 1675. By his will of June 13, 1676, he gave œ400 in trust, to be paid to the heir apparent or heir male of the body of his cousin german, Henry Isham of Virginia, if such heir should come to reside in England for one whole year. He gave to his uncle Denton, a doctor of physic œ100, and other sums to his cousins Alexander Denton, a doctor of the Middle Temple, George Nicholas of Covent Garden and Anne his wife and Robert Dormer, a barrister of Lincoln's Inn, but all his lands and real estate he gave to his friend and cousin, Francis Drake of Stratton Audley. By a codicil of July 17, 1676, he gave his law books and notes to Nicholas Page and his best piece of plate to "my cousin Anne Woodward, my dear Franck Drake's mother." A memorandum added to the will, which was proved July 20, 1676, by Francis Drake, the executor, explains that a reason for the Virginian legacy was, that Sir Edward Brett might be encouraged to be very kind to the Virginian cousin "and therefore I begg his kindness for his kinsman and mine."

Anne, buried at Hillesden Sept. 9, 1632, an infant.

18. SIR JOHN ISHAM of Lamport (Thomas, John of Lamport, Euseby), born on Friday July 27, 1582, according to father's notes; died at Lamport July 8, 1651, and was buried the next day at Lamport under a tombstone of black marble; married at Brixworth Oct. 19, 1607, Judith Lewin, born about Oct. 31, 1590, died June 25, 1625, in thirty-fifth year and was buried at Lamport, a tablet of black marble over the altar describing her as "Daughter to learned William Lewin." She was the youngest daughter of William Lewin of Otteringden in Kent, a doctor of the civil law and a judge of the prerogative court.

Sir John's godfathers were John Isham his grandfather, then sheriff of Northamptonshire, and his great-uncle Henry Isham, citizen of London and controller of the Custom House and his godmother, Alice, wife of Thomas Aldershawe.

On May 30, 1627, he had a patent of a baronetcy from King Charles II. He added to the family estates by buying from Francis Saunders, esquire, the manor of Shangton in Leicestershire on Apr. 15, 1637, for a sum of œ12,225, but his sympathy for the royal cause impoverished the family, the king borrowing money of him and the parliament sequestrating his estates.

24. HENRY ISHAM (William, Sir Euseby, Gregory, Euseby), date of birth and death unknown; married #1 unknown #2 Katharine Banks, daughter of (???) Banks of Canterbury. Her will was proved Dec. 1, 1686, in Virginia. She had married second, Joseph Royall or Ryal, and perhaps had issue by him. As Captain Harry Isham of Bermuda Hundred, he is named in the will of John Smith of Bristol in 1676, and he was also a legatee in the will of Sir Edward Brett of Bexley. Children: Worthy to note here:

Henry is reputed to have had other Children by his first wife: Several sons and a daughter:

Many genealogies have Phoebe Isham listed as the first daughter born: This Phoebe Isham was married to Robert Belcher.

She was not mentioned in her stepbrothers will nor was any other earlier children of Henry's.

Children of Henry and Katherine Banks Royall:

Henry, of Henrico county in Virginia, to whom Thomas Isham of the Middle Temple, his cousin german once removed, gave a legacy in his will of June 13, 1676, on condition that he should come back to spend a whole year in England. This legacy was a fatal one for he d. on his voyage from England to Virginia after the completion of the year. His will of Nov. 13, 1678, was proved in London June 5, 1680, and in Virginia Feb. 1, 1678-79, by William Randolph the executor. He gave legacies to his half-brother, Joseph Ryalland to his mother, Mrs. Katharine Isham. His plantation, called Doggams, in Charles City county in Virginia, he bequeathed to his sisters Mrs. Mary Randolph and Mrs. (i.e. Mistress, now Miss) Anne Isham, and the residue of his estate in Virginia and England to Mr. William Randolph. He was never m. and was probably the last male of the elder line of the Ishams of Pytchley.

Mary, m. in or before 1678 to William Randolph of Turkey Island in Virginia.

Anne, unmarried at the date of her brother's will of 1678. In 1685 she was m. to Francis Eppes, Jr.

The ancestry of Henry Isham of Virginia has become known through the researches of Rev. Henry Isham Longden, who was born at Lamport, and is a distinguished antiquary and genealogist of Northamptonshire families. He was M.A. of Keble College, Oxford and rector of Heyford, county Northampton, and later of a parish of Northampton itself. In 1898 he published a book having the title: Some Notes on Sir Euseby Isham of Pytchley in the County of Northampton with special reference to his Virginian Descendants. London: Mitchell and Hughes, 140 Wardour Street, 1898. He gave me a copy of this rare work in 1908, which is now given to the Connecticut Historical Society at Hartford, Conn. I give the gist of his researches in his own words:

I have not given all the Randolph particulars in this pedigree, but I must just say that Richard Randolph is given two brothers, Thomas Randolph the Poet, and Henry Randolph of Randolph's River, near Apomatocks, who left issue. Their father's habitation was Morton Hall in or near Warwick; but in these particulars there is not complete accuracy.

Some further notes there are, written about the manuscript probably by the person who handed in the Pedigree.

To enquire after the estate of Sr. Eusebius Isham of Pitchley in Northampton, and another estate of his named Isham; endeavor to see will.

Mrs Isham's estate in Gloucestershr, she was dau'r in Law to Christian Policy Clerk in the same County.

The estate of Sr Edward Brett in Kent known by the name of Blendome (on) Hall (in Bexle parish Dec. 22, 1682, probate Mar. 17, 1683, codicil Nov. 7, 1683), his will dated 1684.

The Family of Wathews Banks in Kent. Hare 27, Mar. 27, 1684.

a son of William Isham and Mary Brett, who were married at Toddington, where many of the Brett family occur in parish registers.

Henry, the only son, died as a young man. His will (P. C.C., 81 Bath), dated 13 November 1678, was proved in Virginia 1 February 1678-9 and in London 5 June 1680 by William Randolph his executor. After bequests to his half-brother Joseph Royalland others, he leaves to his honoured mother Mrs. Katherine Isham one-third of his estate "both of what is in Virginia and England"; to his sister Mrs. Anne Isham a third; and his plantation in Charles City County in Virginia, commonly known as Doggams, equally between his two sisters Mrs. Mary Randolph and Mrs. Anne Isham. Mr. William Randolph to be his residuary legatee and sole executor. Mary Isham had married Col. William Randolph, and on the latter's monument she is described as daughter

Since 1637 part of this land has been in possession of descendants, the ancestral home known as Doghams, said to be a variation of some French name of a stream in Normandy, from which country the family went to England with William the Conquere. According to Brock, and aged Royalls, and old wax seals on Virginia records, there was a coat of arms. There is no will of record ... ADVENTURERS OF PURSE AND PERSON, VIRGINIA 1607-1625, compiled and edited by Annie Lash Jester and Martha Woodroof Hiden: Joseph Royall, aged 20 years, came to Virginia in the Charitie, July 1622 and the following year in the census was listed at Neck of Land in Charles City. As shown in the muster he was one of two young men serving Luke Boyse. After her husband's death Mrs. Boyse petitioned the Court regarding an agreement entered into between her husabnd and young Royall. At this Court (11 January 1626) there was a petition preferred by Mrs. Alice Boise widow, against Joseph Royall servant to her late husband luke Boise and showed a covenant bearing date 25 February 1625, wherein the said Joseph Royall was bound unto the said Luke Boise to Perform certain conditions therein mentioned; whereupon, it is ordered, according to the said covenant that the said Joseph Royall shall make or cause to be made gratis for the said Alice Boise, her child and such servants as were then of this family all such apparel as they shall wear or use till such day and time as he shall depar t this land, so long as those of the family shall either serve her or the child. A decree of this sort would be difficult to enforce and it is reasonable to conclude that circumstances freed young Royall from the permanent condition under which Mrs. Boyse sought to place him. By 15 August 1637 he was a land owner in his own right, having patented a portion of a tract later included in the Isham-Royall plantation known as "Doghams". The land lay on the north side of the James River above "Shirley" and remained in the Royall family for more than 200 years. In 1638 Royall added to his land holdings 200 acres on the south side of the James River and in 1642, he patented 600 acres "above Sherley Hundred, n. by E. upon the Riv. to Dockman's Cr.... adj.

GEDCOM Note === === The following is taken from the Helvest === The following is taken from the Helveston Web Site: Children of Joseph Royall and Katherine Royall are: i. KATHERINE ROYALL6 ii. JOSEPH ROYALL iii. SARAH ROYALL iv. DAUGHTER ROYALL(md DENNIS.)* v. DAUGHTER ROYALL (md MARSHALL)*. Joseph Royall, aged 20 years came to Virginia in the CHARITIE in July of 1622. He landed at Jamestown. (In March 1622 the Indians had killed 347 colonists). Joseph survived an outbreak of "burning fever" which killed 500 colonists in 1622. The following year he was living in Charles City Co. Joseph transported people to Virginia, meaning that he arranged for and paid for their passage and by doing so was given "headrights" to several thousand acres of land on the James River in an area known as Turkey Island and the Curles on the James. On 8/15/1637 he received 300 acres of land in Henrico Co on Turkey Island Creek: "fifty acres for transporting his own person, 50 acres for first wife Thomasin, 50 acres for now wife Ann, 50 acres for brother Henry Royall, and 100 acres for two" others. He received 200 acres in Charles City Co for transporting four people the next year. In 1642 he received 600 more acres there for transporting twelve people including third wife Katherine Banks. Joseph's younger brother Henry settled in Charles City Co and also transported immigrants Joseph's plantation eventually grew to 1,100 acres, and by August, 1637, he was a large landowner and had built a mansion at his plantation on the north side of the James River, called Doghams, named after the French river D'Augham. Doghams lay above the plantation, "Shirley", opposite Hopewell, VA, about 20 miles east of Varina. They lived in Henrico Co, VA, at Turkey Island. "This was an excellent location on the James River where ships from England plied the wide river bringing cargoes of fine china, silver, furniture, stylish clothing, and supplies. These products the captains exchanged for tobacco, furs, and wood products." By 1690 Capt. Joseph Royall Jr. owned over 3,000 ac res in the Henrico Co, VA, area including 2,827 acres he earned "for transporting 57 Negroes." Doghams remained in the Royall family for more than 200 years and still stands on the old road between Richmond and Williamsburg. Joseph Royal Sr. was dead by March 10, 1665. He and Katherine Banks Royall had at least three children, whose names are known; Joseph Royall Jr, Sarah Royall, who married John Wilkinson, and Katherine Royall who married Richard Perrin. (He also may have been the father of William, Richard And Henry as well as a daughter who married Richard Dennis And another daugher who married Machel Marshall. When Joseph died in about 1665, Katherine was a wealthy woman and married a second time to Henry Isham, Sr. of Bermueda Hundred Plantation in Virginia. According to custom, Joseph Royall's estate became the property of the new husband. Henry Isham added another wing onto the residence which was enhanced with tall pines and an English Flower Garden and was enclosed within a white picket fence. Katherine and Henry Isham were the leaders of Virginia Society at that time. They had three children together. Mary , who married William Randolph , Anne who married Francis Eppes and Henry Isham, Jr who died as a young unmarried man; he was lost at sea. In his will dated 11/13/1678, her son left Katherine, his mother one third of his property which was in both VA and England. Through this second marrriage, Katherine is the direct ancestor of Thomas Jefferson and John Marshall. Katherine's daughter Mary Isham was a much-courted belle in the scattered plantation society of the region. She was a charming young lady, known to play a musical instrument called a cittern.
