ROY JACOB WAINRIGHT , son of William Robertson Wainright and Janie Campbell, was born June 14,
1918, near Hortense, in Wayne County, Georgia (now Brantley County). He married NINA
ANNABELLE STRICKLAND (Ann), daughter Levy and Beatrice
Strickland and they had two sons. Early in their marriage, when their first son was
born, they lived in the Hortense/Fendig area, near Ann’s parents house along the
Satilla River (just off present-day Route 110). Roy accepted a job in Atlanta and the
family moved with him. They later returned to Brantley County where Ann gave birth to
their second son, who was born in her parent’s house. About 1950 the family moved to
Hoboken, Georgia where they resided until the fall of 1953 when Roy moved the family back
to Hortense. They then operated the Swan Grill, just north of Hortense on Highway 301, and
lived in a house built into the restaurant building. In the summer of 1954, Roy built and
operated the Chick-A-Dee restaurant on the west side of Highway 301 in Hortense, just
south of the Highway 32 intersection. The building is still actively used as a business.
This restaurant was a popular stop for tourists travelling to and from Florida. This was
before Interstate 95 was built, back when Highway 301 was a main north-south tourist
route. The family later moved to Hickox, Georgia where they operated a restaurant there
called Mutt’s Drive Inn, which the family operated until 1959 when they moved back to
Hortense. In addition to the restaurant business, Roy was also a building contractor,
capable of carpentry, plumbing, wiring and other components of the business. He built
several houses and buildings in the area, many with his sons whom he had taught all
aspects of building. Ann helped with the family restaurant businesses. Roy died on January
21, 1963 and is buried in Brantley County, Georgia at Hortense Cemetery in the
southeastern corner.

BEATRICE VELERA STRICKLAND, who was born October 24, 1898 and was daughter of John Perry Strickland and Isabelle Mae Henderson.
Beatrice’s father owned a commissary in Fendig, GA at a turpentine company and, while
visiting there with her father one day, she met Levy. As a young man, Levy was
involved with his father’s timber business. One of his jobs was timber raft pole man,
where he would float rafts of timber down the Satilla River during the high-water
"freshets" to the saw mill downstream at Burnt Fort. After he was married he was
employed to blow-up stumps with dynamite by the Hercules Powder Company. He later was a
carpenter as well as a farmer. As an avid reader, he particularly enjoyed western novels.
Beatrice was trained and employed as a practical nurse. They lived on Levi’s
father’s homeplace just north of the Satilla River, near Stricklands Landing where
their three children, Ann, Madeline and Laverne, grew up. Levy died in 6/1969.
Beatrice died 5/1/1996 in Omega, GA, where she lived her later years with her daughter

Lucy Lavada Kelly and (2nd) MARY ANN BENNETT, b. 1/13/1856, daughter of William Thomas Bennett and
Jerushua Cox. Lucy
may have died about 1881 while giving birth to an unknown 4th child. About 1882, Matthew
married Mary Ann. This family originally lived in the Schlatterville area on land that
Mary Ann had inherited from her father. By 1910 they had swapped land with another family
and were living in Wayne County (part that is now Brantley), on the northeast side of
where the Big and Little Satilla Rivers converge near Strickland Landing. In the 1920
cenus, Matthew and Mary Ann were shown to be still living at this location in Wayne
County, which would become Brantley County in 1921. Matthew had grown timber on his land,
harvested it, rafted it downriver during the high-water "freshets" and sold it
at Burnt Fort sawmill, several miles downstream. His parents lived across the Satilla on
the south side, where they operated Strickland Ferry and lived in the Smyrna Church area.
Mary Ann died on April 16, 1932 and Matthew on November 16,1935. They are both buried at
Pilgrims Rest Cemetery in Waynesville, GA.

GEORGE
LEE was born a son of John and Elizabeth Lee in Georgia
in 1801.He moved with his parents to Appling County, Georgia, in 1819-20, and married
there about 1823. His first wife was Polly Ann Stephens, daughter of Unknown Stephens . Two daughters, Sarah and Mary Ann, were
borne by her. He then married Miss Rebecca Griffis, born 1808, daughter of Samuel Griffis.
They had eleven children. The second wife died about 1873 and he married Miss Mary Carter,
a maiden lady, for his third wife, but there were no more children. George Lee was a
private in Captain David J. Miller's company of the Ware County Militia in 1838. He was
living in the 5th land district of Appling County, according to the list of registrants
for the 1820 state land lottery. This district is now mostly in Bacon County. He served as
a private in Captain James A. Sweat's Company, August 19-November 18, 1840. About 1830-35,
Mr. Lee moved from Appling County and located on a tract of land in Ware County where the
village of Ruskin was built in the 1870's, about four miles westwardly of where Waycross
now is. He sold out there soon after the death of his wife, Rebecca, and moved with his
third wife to a small farm on the border of the Okefenokee Swamp. He died there about
1882.

JOHN
LEE, an early settler of Ware County, Georgia, was born between 1750 and 1760 in North
Carolina and married and lived in Wayne County, North Carolina, until sometime about 1800
when he moved with his family to Georgia. He became among the first settlers in 1819, and
is found there in the 1820 census. His wife's name was ELIZABETH, her last name is
unknown. John lived in Bulloch County as early as 1798 when he bought land there.
John Lee was a member in 1817 of Beard's Creek Baptist Church, Tattnall County, and in
1818 was a member of "Purchase Church" on the Satilla River in Appling County.
(The church was renamed Little Satilla Baptist Church in 1819.) He was a delegate from his
church to the Piedmont Baptist Association in 1817, 1818, 1819, 1820, and 1823. Data from
old minutes of Piedmont Association confirm this information and also shows that the
church was dissolved in 1826. In the creation of Ware County out of Appling in 1824,
John Lee and family were placed in the new county. John was a Revolutionary soldier in
North Carolina and drew land as such in the 1827 Land Lottery, residing at the time in
Ware County. His home was originally in Bacon County, but his last few years were spent in
the southern part of Ware on or near the Suwannee River where he is found in the 1830
census. He died there sometime about 1838. His son, Lewis Lee, was the administrator of
John Lee's estate. Ware County records prior to 1847 having been burned, no record there
is available as to the administration. However, the files of "The Southern
Recorder" of Milledgeville, Georgia, show an advertisement of sale dated September 1,
1839, by Lewis Lee as Administrator, advertising the cattle of his deceased father for
sale at the former's house in Ware County to be sold Saturday, November 9, 1839. The wife
of his son, Lewis Lee, was Susannah Walker, daughter of Isham Walker and grand-daughter of
Littleberry Walker, Sr., of Wayne County. Lewis moved from Ware to present Clinch County
in the 1830's then in 1845 to Florida. They were also member of Little Satilla Baptist
Church but transferred their memberships to Union Church on the Alapaha River, joining at
the arm now Bethany Church in Clinch County, June 12, 1841. On September 12, 1845, they
were dismissed by letter to New Hope Church in Florida.
