McBee researchers: Silas Leroy Alexander McBee was the son of Vardry Echols McBee and Jane Alexander. Silas L. McBee was born September 27, 1809 in Lincolnton, North Carolina. He had five brothers and three sisters. Any information I can give anyone on this family, I am glad to help. Any information anyone can give me on this family, I would appreciate it. I descend from Vardry Echols McBee's older brother Matthew McBee and his wife Fannie Lee. Would love to share information on the McBee and McAbee family.
