Joy/Botting/King/Martin Family of Brenchley

[Geoff Hull]

Thanks for all that Barbara. I certainly intend to visit the church in Brenchley, and take some photos of my probable ancestors handiwork. Will also check out those other resources.

Cheers
Geoff

Greetings all:  Regarding Joy family, my ancestor was a William Joy, born about 1635 or 1638.  I am not sure  his original origin, perhaps Brenchley ??  I am hoping some has some additional info.  He left England and went to Barbados and married a Mary Denty.  He then left Barbados and went to Charleston, SC, USA where my family is from.  I really dont have a lot about him, Familysearch.org indicates his father was George Joy and mother Dorothy Moyce. Would love to know more about him, his life, family, why he left England.  Thanks

Hello David and welcome to RootsChat.

I will have a look at my research and let you know what I have.

It is some time since I looked at my Joy family so I need to refresh my memory!
