Introduction
The Troy Family has a long and distinguished history. This page is
intended
to provide a place for us Troys to collect together our thoughts,
remembrances,
photographs and other family related items into one place - a place
where
we can all browse these items and share with one another.
For the present, I (Richard Matthew Troy III) will be our
web-master.
Please send submissions to me. If you are a Troy, please feel free
to capture
this script and edit it to your delight, returning it to me for
posting.
Similarly, images, and new pages can easily be added, just
drop me a note.

A Brief History:
The founder of the family is said to have been William Troye of
Troyes,
France. The family moved to Great Britain in 1688, and it has been
suggested
that Wm. was in fact one of William the Conquerors Knights. This is
suggested
by the dates and available records which include a Troye among the
Knights
accompanying Wm. the Conqueror.
Exact information is not available, but we believe that the
original
name of the family was Troyes, the "s" being dropped on the move
from France,
and a further simplification, dropping the e, occurring some time
later.
In any event there is a village known as "Michael
Troy" adjacent to Ragland Castle
in south
Wales, and it is known that a "Lady Ragland" married into the
family in
1889.
