Person:John Joy (1)

From the Bartlett Society

He was John Joy of Boston, perhaps the one born in Boston 10 8th mo. 1641; son of Thomas & Joan (Gallop) Joy. If so, he must have died before Thomas Joy wrote his will. There are no Suffolk or Plymouth Coounty Probate or Land Records for John Joy.

Plymouth Colony Records 8:32 and MD 3:111, 117; 18:57 [as well as Savage's Genealogical Dictionary - see below] all say Mercy married John Ivey. A recent reading of the original record by Barbara L. Merrick reveals that Mercy married John Joy.

From Thomas Joy and His Descendants

John Joy (or Jay) was mentioned in the will of his grandfather, John Gallop and that he was a witness to a deed in Hingham in 1662. He was discharged from Captain Turner's Company of Marlboro in King Philip's War, a company comprised of Baptist followers of Turner. Jay was probably killed in a later engagement of that War.
