How about an Edward Royston marrying Eleanor Neal in St.Paul's parish, Baltimore Co., MD. No detail on any descendants. Edward's name was also spelled Edward Ristone. Surnames of Riston & Royston were commonly interchanged in this time period. There is also an Edward Royston b. abt 1689 in Baltimore Co., MD. He was at least 16 in 1705 and may have used the spelling Riston. Son of John I Royston (abt.1657 - bef. 6 Sep 1699.) Might be the same , I don't know. Any other facts? Regards, Herb Frantz (a Royston) -----Original Message----- From: Shirley [mailto:AntiqueDish@jps.net] Sent: Saturday, February 22, 2003 5:41 PM To: MDGEN-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [MDGEN] Riston/Baltimore City/Prior to 1871 Hello, Do you have any first names?
