It is interesting to note that there was a Cancer Home Remedy passed down from generation to generation in the lvey Family. Major.
Levi, and William Henry, sons of John lvey and Mary Ann Swinson, used this remedy to take care of patients in their home. People with skin cancer came from far and near to be treated with this remedy. This is thought to be why Dr. Henry B. lvey, son of Levi, a much loved and prominent physician of Goldsboro and Wayne County, was inspirted to specialize in diseases of the skin. His nephew. Dr. Harold Wolfe of Goldsboro, son of his sister Alliene, specializes in skin diseases today.

These are the general roots of the lvey branches of Colonial settlers who came to Wayne County and lived in the area of Whitehall
(Seven Springs), N.C., along the North banks of the Neuse River. Many lveys still live in the Seven Springs and Wayne County environs
today. (See section on John James lvey).
