My name is Keith H. Joye. My father is Jerry H. Joye. My grandfather was Cassie H. Joye. My great-grandfather was George Bunyon Joye, married to Eppie Hughes. They were from the Johnsonville/Hemingway area before moving to Laurens County, South Carolina. I am looking for information on my relatives and was hoping someone could help. I live in Stallings, NC and am planning a trip to the Johnsonville area to research the family tree. I am also interested in any information anyone has on the Joye Reunion held in Hemingway each year. I recently passed through Johnsonville and stopped at the Old Johnsonville Baptist Church cemeteries and transcribed all the headstones and markers with JOY or JOYE that I could see (see attached). I would like to locate George Bunyon Joye's father, grandfather, etc.
Thanks, Keith
