My grandmother rosemund (wife of Vinson? Vincent? Royalty)
told me that the surname 'Royalty' was bestowed in america in recognition of some sort of labor (she thought it was road building) for the benifet of arriving nobles; he (vinson)had been dead for 30+ years when she told me this so details may have been fuzzy.
