He married Hannah Echols in Virginia, moved to North Carolina and was Constable in Tryon (now Mecklenburg) Co., N.C. in 1770. " Tryon County was formed from Mecklenburg County in 1769. None of Tryon County is "now" Mecklenburg County. Kathy Sullivan Hi, I've been following the McBee discussion and thought I would write and try to help. My cousin is Danny McBee of Gaston Cty, NC, and has done a lot of research, he may be able to help with the McBee's. Email me and I'll give you his email address. I can't promise he'll help or have the answers but it doesn't hurt to ask.
