My Mom, Tamala Ann Powell from Hemingway, SC married my dad, Gerald Michael Joye back in the late 70s. Dad went to Hemingway high school but dropped out in 1974 I think. He joined the Marines and moved to NC where we lived until he retired. I myself live in Swansboro, NC. That's unreal there are so many Joyes!
My father's dad was Gerald Lemar Joye, from Hartsville, SC. My dad was originally from there too. His mom was Janice Joye, now Janice Hayes.
