C. A. Sorrier opened Sorrier Insurance Agency in 1888 in downtown Statesboro. In 1986, Tom Ansley and Leonard Blount bought the agency and changed the name to Blount, Ansley & Sorrier. Now it is known as BBWH and is one of the largest insurance providers in our area. The Sorrier family came from Scotland. This family was one of the first to build in Statesboro’s first subdivision, which was Savannah Avenue. He was one of the original owners of the Jaeckel Hotel and had one of the first automobiles in Statesboro.
