Gabriel Royal
Gabriel Royal was found in the 1870 Census with wife Sallie.
Who were Hace and Easter Royal?
Hace and Easter Royal were recorded on Gabriel Royal's dead certificate as his parents.
Were they also the parents of Rachel Royal sons George W. Royal who married Vinnie Harding and of James F. Royal who married Emma Brewington?
Anna Royal was the daughter of Gabriel Royal. One of my Aunts said her mother the daughter of Anna told her that they were kin to Jake Royal. If Gabriel and Rachel were brother and sister, then their children would be first cousins and their children would be cousins too.
After many interviews and review of available documents, I conclude that Gabriel and Rachel were brother and sister and their parents were Hace and Easter Royal.
...In Search of You
Were Gabriel and Rachel brother and sister?
After attending Joe Nathan Evans' funeral today, September 8, 2011 at the Western Assembly Headquarters, I paid Mr. Kornegay another visit. I sent him a message that I would be stopping by to interview him a second time. The first time was on December 28, 2008.
I was amazed at how sharp his memory was considering he a few months from his 95 birthday. The interview was a follow-up to a previous visit. And sure enough, he confirmed that Anna Royal talked about being the cousin of Jim and George Royal in the Herring Township. Anna was daughter of Gabriel Royal and Jim and George were sons of Rachel Royal.
