ROYER Located on the eastern shore of the Schuylkill river, in Montgomery county, distant from Philadelphia thirty- two miles and from Norristown sixteen miles, is the bor- ough of Royers Ford. The name is derived from an ancient ford over the Schuylkill at this point, which took its name from a family by name Royer, who are said to have owned the land many years ago and prior to the use of the stream for purposes of navigation. Subsequent to the erection of dams and the consequent destruction of the fords in com- mon use, a bridge was constructed here, but the name Royers Ford was still retained by the villagers, and, when a borough was formed, the ancient name was retained.


The Royers were originally from Alsace-Lorraine, and were early settlers at Trappe, Montgomery county, Pennsylvania. There were several of the name in Providence township and all were men of more than average ability and ambition. There is little known of the foreign history of the family. Tradition says they were of German origin, and there is good grounds for the belief that the ancestors were French, driven into Germany as Protestants, and finally settling in Alsace-Lor- raine, a province peopled by both French and Germans.


(I) The emigrant ancestor, Sebastian Royer (originally Reyer), came to Pennsylvania about 1718, with four sons, the two elder set- tling on the Schuylkill, at or near Royer's Ford.


(II) John, son of Sebastian Royer, was a farmer of Schuylkill county, where his life was spent after coming to this country. He married Anna Catherine Apfel, and had nine children.


(III) Joseph, son of John and Anna Catherine (Apfel) Royer, was born in February, 1784, two miles west of Trappe, in Providence

township, in the then county of Philadelphia. He was a man of broad intellect, earnest purpose and superior social qualities. Though a man of limited education, he was widely read and able to converse fluently on the various subjects of his day. His ability and high character brought him into prominence in the Democratic party, which in 1821 and 1822 elected him to the state legislature. In 1837 he was appointed associate judge of Schuylkill county, a position he did not solicit, but which he filled with dignity and honor. He was several times the can- didate of his party for congress, but never gained a favorable verdict at the polls. He married, in 1818, Elizabeth, daughter of David and Mary Catherine Dewees. Children: 1. Francis. 2. J. Warren, born July 21, 1820, in Trappe; graduate of Lafayette College; entered Princeton College, whence he was graduated, class of 1842; entered medical department of the University of Pennsylvania, whence he was graduated M.

(IV) Lewis, third son of Judge Joseph and Elizabeth (Dewees) Royer, was born in Trappe, Montgomery county, Pennsylvania, March 31, 1822, died in October, 1905. He obtained a good English education at public school and under a private tutor. For three years he taught school in Berks county, Pennsylvania, at the expiration of which time he entered the office of Dr. Jacob Tryon, of Rehrsburg, that county, there beginning the study of medicine. Subsequently he attended lec- tures at the medical department of the University of Pennsylvania, whence he was graduated M. D. in the spring of 1843. He began the practice of his profession in Rehrsburg, and some years later removed to Schuylkill Haven, Schuylkill county, Pennsylvania, remaining there for ten years. In 1859 he located in Philadelphia and engaged in the wholesale drug business. In 1867 Dr. Royer returned to Trappe, re- siding there until 1884, when he moved to Norristown. Dr. Royer

was largely interested in the manufacture of iron and the mining of coal in Huntingdon county, Pennsylvania, in connection with the Rock Hill Iron & Coal Company, in which he was personally active until his death. At one time he was president of the Tradesmen's National Bank, of Conshohocken. Dr. Royer's political associations were for- merly with the old-line Whig party, having cast his first vote for Henry Clay, but in later life he became a Republican. For one term he was coroner of Schuylkill county, and in 1878 was elected to the state senate, and served on various important committees. His religious views were in accord with the doctrines of the German Reformed church, of which he was a faithful member.

He ob- tained a preliminary public school education and entered Ursinus Col- lege, Collegeville, Pennsylvania, whence he was graduated, class of 1878. After his graduation he engaged in mercantile business with his father for fifteen years, during this time establishing in the mer- cantile line at Shade Gap in partnership with John C. Taylor and with his father, Lewis Royer, under the style of Royer & Taylor. This connection continued, but Mr. Royer moved to Huntingdon, opening an insurance agency, a business in which he was successfully engaged at the time of his death. His other business interests were in coal lands and with the Rock Hill Coal & Iron Company. A Republican in politics, he had never been very active therein, although he held the office of school director. He was a member of the Masonic Order, belonging to lodge, chapter, commandery and shrine, also to the Inde- pendent Order of Odd Fellows. Both he and his wife belonged to the Presbyterian church.
