Census and probate records have preserved the names of men, women, and children enslaved by the Royalls. This number is probably representative, but may well be incomplete. Blank spaces indicate there is no existing documentation at this time.
For Information on what we know about the lives of those enslaved at the Royall House see Enslaved Peoples’ Lives at the Royall House.
