I am not sure how the Joyes are all linked. I have Joyes on both maternal and paternal, as both my grandfathers were Joyes.
My great grandfather was Marvin Bunyan Joye, grandfather Richard Loranza Joye, mother Carol Joye, all from around Johnsonville. On my fathers side my grandfather was Aaron Joye from Hemingway. Needless to say, I have a lot of Joye kin on both sides. Story goes that maternal family came from Horry County, paternal from Charleston. I have found Joyes all over Europe and have emailed with them, in French. I would love to know any actual history.
