Christ
Church, the oldest church in Greenville, SC, was organized in 1820 as
St. James Mission. Adjacent to the main church building is the Markley
Chapel built in 1880.
A
founder of the church, Mr. Edward Croft, deeded two acres for the church
cemetery in 1835.

That same year, Mrs. Sarah Crittenden was the first to be buried near the
north walls of the present church.
Mr.
Vardry McBee, one of Greenvilles city forefathers, is also buried
in this cemetery.
