Brooks speaks of the suspicion that naturally fell upon our Isaac Royall on account of his affiliation with the Vassalls of Cambridge. Penelope Royall's husband was Henry Vassall of Cambridge, who died about 1769. His brother John, who built the Longfellow house, left several children, one of whom (John) married Elizabeth, the daughter of Ann and Robert Oliver; his sister, Elizabeth Vassall, married Ann Oliver's son Thomas, who was the last royal lieutenant-governor, and who suffered at the hands of a Cambridge mob because of his appointment as one of the mandamus councillors. Isaac Royall of Medford was married in Kings Chapel, March 27, 1738, to Elizabeth Mackintosh, and lived on the estate left by his father in Charlestown (afterward a part of Medford). Here his children were born and brought up and here he delighted to entertain his friends after a right royal fashion. He was a good citizen, interested

nce did not lessen his interest in the town where he had lived so long, for in his will he bequeathes to the Church of Medford a piece of plate to the value of £ 10. This is noted in a list of plate belonging to the church November 1, 1793, as a dish for the bread inscribed The legacy of the Hon. Isaac Royal, Esq., to the Church of Christ in Medford, 1781. The children of Isaac Royal were Elizabeth, mentioned in her grandmother's will as one of her god-daughters, and who died young; Mary Mackintosh, the wife of George Erving of Boston (an absentee); a second Elizabeth, who became the wife of Sir William Pepperell, and who died on the voyage to England; Miriam, who married Thomas Savel and some of whose descendants still live in Medford. It seems singular that no mention is made of this last named daughter either in the will of Isaac Royall or in that of his wife Elizabeth, who died in 1770. Isaac Royall left Medford April 16, 1775, as he states in his will, leaving his estate

Failing heirs in this line, then to his grandson William Pepperell for life, and then to his heirs. Further provision is made that the estate shall descend in the following order; to Elizabeth Royall Pepperell and her heirs; Penelope Vassall, and, after her, to her daughter Elizabeth; then to William Royall, Jacob Royall, and Elia Royall. The estate was not to descend to the heirs of the last three named. This entailed estate was to be called Royall Ville. Failing heirs, one half the income was to be expended to found a hospital in Medford or Charlestown; the other half for the support of a professor of laws at Harvard College. The estate was never sold by the government, so that after the passage of a law for the barring of entails, the heirs were enabled to sell the entailed estate. A deed on record in the Middl

. As the eldest son a double portion was assigned to him out of his father's estate after the widow's dower was set off (1758). He added to this by the purchase from time to time of small estates, the records of his real estate transactions in the Registry of Deeds at East Cambridge extending from 1759 to 1774, and his occupation is given therein as merchant. He had several sisters who married and settled in Medford: Sarah, the wife of Jonathan Tufts; Mary, of Samuel Kidder; Frances, of Joseph Calef; Ruth, of Benjamin Floyd; Susannah, of Ebenezer Brooks; and one brother, William, who died unmarried. At the settlement of the dower estate, Joseph and two sisters, Ruth Floyd and Susannah Brooks, were the only surviving children, and that part of the estate, after setting aside two shares for the heirs of Joseph, now an absentee, was assigned to Samuel Kidder, a grandson.

Brooks (History of Medford) and Harris (New England Royalls) state that Isaac Royal married Elizabeth, daughter of Asaph Elliot of Boston, which is undoubtedly correct. Harris further states that this Elizabeth had been previously married to one Oliver by whom she had a male child (presumably Robert Oliver). But the Elizabeth Royall who came to Charlestown with her hue 3, 1707. Her daughter by her former husband, Ann Brown, married (also in Antigua), February 3, 1721, Robert Oliver. This seems more reasonable than to suppose that a widow Oliver should have been married a second time under her maiden name of Elliot, for so the record stands. Brooks speaks of the suspicion that naturally fell upon our Isaac Royall on account of his affiliation with the Vassalls of Cambridge.

The commissioners for the County of Middlesex were James Prescott, Joseph Hosmer and Samuel Thacher, and by them were sold the estate of Joseph Thompson of Medford and certain estate in Medford, the property of one Charles Ward Apthorp of Boston (?). The absentees of Medford were few in number; in fact, two only, Isaac Royall and Joseph Thompson, resided here. Both were descended from the early settlers; Isaac Royall from William Ryall who first settled at Salem, having a large grant of land called Ryall Side (a name still applied to a part of Beverly), and who early removed to Maine; Joseph Thompson, from James Thompson who came to Charlestown (1630) and who subsequently became one of the founders of Woburn.
