I am so happy something is being done. I am definitely interested in the preservation, reclaiming and ownership of Styrontown. Frank Styron Sr. was my greatgrandfather. It would be a tradegy to see swallowed up like many other black heir properties.
I have recently walked down the Styron town road to the public beach front and immediately realized the history and value of the land. When driving to the property, it was apparent that builders, land developers and the township realize the value of the property because upscale condominiums are being built adjacent to the property, a multi-level condominium exist a stone through away and the township has engaged in some underhanded behavior to acquire the once private beach front. With my conversation with the family, the history of Frank Styron and the generations after is so interesting and should be protected and preserved. In fact, Charles Styron, the son of a slave, is still alive and living on the Styron property. The history that exists in Styron town and Oriental would do future generations nationwide an injustice if lost. After reading books of slavery, the prejudice of the south (then and now), the struggles and successes of indigenous black people, it is amazing for a person like I whose parentage is from the West Indies, Jamaica.
I would welcome the opportunity to help protect and preserve a small piece of African, Black, American, North Carolina, Oriental and Styron history.
Hi, I was told that I may have some relation to the Styron family. Either my grandfather Robert Green, Hubbard or Kelly Green, my great uncles may have married into the Styron family. My mother was Dorothy May Green and she married Thomas Beasley of New Bern, North Carolina. As children, we spent our summers between Norfolk, Virginia and New Bern, North Carolina. My name is Janet and my sister's name is Nancy. Do you know much about the Black families, there in Styron and Oriental?
