Medford Historical Society Papers, Volume 29., The history of the Royall house and its occupants. (search)
hed the Evacuation of Boston, March 17, 1776. Occupants of the Royall House since the Revolutionary War were, in 1778, Colonel Cary of Charlestown, at a rental of two hundred pounds per year. On account of Isaac Royall being an absentee from the Colony, his estate was held by the Colony until disposed of in 1804. In 1779 the General Court ordered all confiscated estates to be sold, but Royall's was not on the list, and later on the estate was turned back to the heirs for $1.00. In 1790 William Woodbridge kept a boarding and day school in the house, having at one time forty-two boys and ninety-six girls. The estate was sold by the heirs in 1804 to Robert Fletcher for 16,000 pounds. It then passed into the hands of William Welsh of Boston, who in 1810 sold it to Francis Cabot Lowell, and two years later it was sold to Jacob Tidd for $9,000. After the death of Mr. Tidd his widow, who was a sister of William Dawes, lived here for fifty years, up to the time of the Civil War
