Joseph Royster >> Elizabeth Draper and Frances Draper were sisters, daughters of Solomon Draper and his wife, Elizabeth, of Mecklenburg County, VA.; Joseph and Henry were brothers; sons of Joseph Royster and his wife, Nancy Wilkins of Charles City County and Mecklenburg County, VA. Both brothers and their wives left Mecklenburg County, VA and settled in Person County, North Carolina I have no ideas about the Susannah Royster; was Royster her maiden name; married name or both??
