From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
William Royall (c. 1595–1676) was a 17th-century English emigrant to the New England Colonies. The Royal River in Maine is named for him.[1][2] (It was named Yarmouth River at the time of his inhabitance in the area, which was then part of Massachusetts Bay Colony.)
