Vardry McBee (June 19, 1775 – January 23, 1864) was a saddlemaker, merchant, farmer, entrepreneur and philanthropist who has frequently been called the father of Greenville, South Carolina. ==Youth== McBee, the youngest of ten children, was born to an impecunious Revolutionary War officer in the Spartanburg District of South Carolina and reared in Thicketty. After working on his parents farm as a teenager, in 1794, he was apprenticed to his brother-in-law, a saddler and postmaster in Lincolnton, North Carolina.〔Smith, 44-56; ''DeBow's'', 314.〕 Briefly a clerk at a grocery in Charleston, South Carolina, and a pioneer farmer with his parents in Logan County, Kentucky, McBee returned to Lincolnton as a saddler and merchant, where he prospered and, in 1804, married Jane Alexander, the daughter of a prominent local family.〔''DeBow's'', 314; Smith, 79-83.〕 They had nine children, seven of whom survived to maturity.〔Smith, 336-37, 145. McBee's first child survived only two months, but his son Silas died at seventeen, a lost that prostrated McBee because they had been close.〕 In 1806, he was partially, but permanently, lamed when he was thrown from a horse and broke his leg.〔Smith, 92.〕
