> Claude:
>
> Actually her name is ARA rather than Ada.
> Ara C. Joy was the grand-daughter of the James Joy who co-founded Joy
Chapel M. E. Church ca. 1851.
> Ara was the daughter of William Wallace Joy [1847-1919] and Charlotte E.
Hayden [1949-1924].
>
> William Wallace Joy was the son of James Joy [1815-1871] and POSSIBLY his
first wife Ann [Nancy] Wise.
> Ann/Nancy died before the family's conversion from Roman Catholicism to
Methodism. She is buried, according to her descendants, in an unmarked grave
at St. John's Roman Catholic Church, Hollywood. When did she die ? Good
question. The Joy stone at Joy Chapel says 1845. [She is listed on a stone
in a cemetery in which we know she is not buried.] James married wife # 2
Mary McCrady in 1848. [m. lic. 7 August 1848] William Wallace was born in
1847.
> The dates don't add up. My guess is that Ann/Nancy died in 1847, about the
time of the birth of James's last known child, William Wallace Joy. He seems
to have had no children by either of his next two wives.
> Since the birth date of wife # 3 is incorrect on the Joy stone, I'm
guessing that the death date of wife #1 isn't correct.
>
> William Wallace Joy was a "local preacher" at Joy Chapel and conducted the
services when the circuit preacher was at St. Paul's, Leonardtown, or Mt.
Zion, Laurel Grove. We have a photo of him among the historical album
collection at Hollywood UMC.
>
> James Joy's 3rd wife, Elizabeth [Wheeler ?] Hayden, was a widow at the
time of their marriage in 1859. Actually, she was widowed as early as the
1850 census. Widow Elizabeth Hayden, age 29, and a Lora Wheeler, age 66,
are living in St. Mary's County, but both were born in Dorchester County.
Elizabeth's children, including Charlotte are all born in St. Mary's. [1850
for St. Mary's gives county of birth if born in Maryland].
>
> Twice-widowed James Joy married the widow Mrs. Hayden in 1859. [m. lic. 6
September 1859]. Lora Wheeler may have died by the 1860 census; she is not
w/ the family. 1860 shows James & Elizabeth and two sets of children: his -
Joy and hers: Hayden.
>
> Actually, two pairs of these step-siblings marry.
> James Summerfield Joy [1838-1882] married his step-sister Mary Ellis
Hayden [1846-1934] and
> William Wallace Joy [1847-1919] married his step-sister Charlotte E.
Hayden [1849-1924].
>
> William Wallace Joy and Charlotte E. Hayden are married 2 January 1868 by
Rev. Bennett H. Smith, pastor of the St. Mary's Circuit, Baltimore
Conference, M. E. Church.
>
> They are the parents of:
> 1. Ara C. Joy [1869-1895]
> 2. William Gwinn Joy [1871-1959]
> 3. Howard S. Joy [1878 - ?]
> 4. Milton C. Joy [1880-1946]
> 5. Bernice Joy
> 6. Fanny Joy
> 7. Edna Joy [1886-1913]

> Hi David
>
> In your research do you have an Ada C. Joy, born 1869 St. Mary's Co.,
died 1895 St. Mary's Co., married (6/4/1883 All Faith's Church) to Samuel
Wiley Bond, born 11/1854 St. Mary's Co., died 7/26/1913 St. Mary's Co. I
am seeking info. on the ancestors of Ada and any information on Samuel Wiley
Bond, my great-grand uncle.
