William Royall (settler)

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. (It was named Yarmouth River at the time of his inhabitance in the area, which was then part of Massachusetts Bay Colony.)

Royall arrived in North Yarmouth a year or so after his compatriot John Cousins (c. 1596–1682), though Royall is regarded as the most important pioneer in the area.
