Mission Statement:
Dedicated to the legacy of the colonial pioneers, Alexander Joyce (b. 1719-1778) and Thomas Joyce (b. 1722-1780) of 18th Century Lunenburg County, Virginia, and Rockingham County, North Carolina. our goal is to promote, research, and celebrate their genealogy. Descended from Laird William Joass (b. 1640) and Beatrix Fraser of Banff, Scotland, they have influential origins. Born in Ballynahinch, County Down, Ireland, their achievements and success helped establish a Joyce lineage in 18th Century Virginia and North Carolina.
In addition to honoring Alexander and Thomas Joyce, we promote, research, and celebrate the history of the other closely related Joyce lines from Northern Ireland. From George Joyce (b. 1767) to George Joyce (1769), they all share a common origin from the Joass family of Scotland.
