I would like to know if A.J. Lee was actually Asa J Lee? And did he have a son by the same name who went on to be a Preacher? I have a picture from the 50s of an A.J. Lee, who was a friend of the family, who was from that area of Ga. This A.J. Lee was an older guy in the picture (Id say 70s?). He actually married my parents but had been a friend of my grandfather for years. My grandfather was born in 1892. In the picture, he was preaching to a congregation outside in the mountains of North Georgia. I believe his wife’s name was Pearl?
You should send your questions about the A.J. Lee family to the Bulloch County Genealogy Society. https://www.facebook.com/groups/123829761562079
Would love to hear from anyone who knows details of this photo: when it was taken, location, etc. An almost identical house, also built by the Lee family, in the Brooklet area, actually close to Denmark, GA, was owned by my husband’s parents and is still in the family. If not the same house, it has to be the same builder/architect. My email is skhmcelveen@gmail.com.
Kathy, this style was quite common around 1900-1920 and there are numerous similar examples in the area. I imagine many were built by the same builders.
