Biographical
General Paul Quattlebaum was born July 8, 1812, in Lexington District, South Carolina, the son of Captain John and Metee Burkett Quattlebaum. Educated in local schools, at the age of eighteen he married Sarah Caroline Jones Prothro of Edgefield District. He served as an officer in the Seminole War of 1835-36, and upon returning home was commissioned colonel and later brigadier general in the South Carolina Militia. An active planter and industrialist, Quattlebaum's ventures included lumber and flour mills and a rifle factory. He served in the South Carolina House of Representatives (1840-44), the State Senate (1848-52), and was a signer of the Ordinance of Secession. General Paul Quattlebaum died October 18, 1890.
Among his several surviving children was Cephas Perry Quattlebaum. Cephas Perry Quattlebaum was born in Lexington District, South Carolina, on May 19, 1851. He received his early education from private tutors and read law in the office of Major H. A. Meetze, a local attorney. Gaining admittance to the South Carolina Bar in 1874, he soon moved to Conwayborough (now Conway), South Carolina and began practicing law in partnership with W. D. Johnson and J. Monroe Johnson. He took an active part as a "Red Shirt" in the gubernatorial campaign of 1876 and organized a rifle club in Horry County. Heavily involved in fraternal organizations and civic affairs, Cephas Perry Quattlebaum led the movement for the incorporation of the town of Conway in 1898 and served as its first mayor. He married Janette Taylor McQueen (1852-1927) of Chesterfield County, South Carolina, on December 23, 1884. His oldest child, Paul, was born two years later. Cephas Perry Quattlebaum died July 20, 1929.
Paul Quattlebaum was born February 25, 1886, at Conway, South Carolina. He attended private schools and received a Bachelor of Science degree in electrical and mechanical engineering from Clemson Agricultural College in 1907. While at Clemson, Quattlebaum served as president of the Calhoun Literary Society, treasurer of the Y.M.C.A., secretary of the college Sunday School, and exchange editor of The Tiger.
Following graduation Quattlebaum returned to Conway and embarked on careers in business and politics. He organized the Conway Light and Power Company in 1907 and subsequently founded the Quattlebaum Ice Company (1912) and the Quattlebaum Light and Ice Company (1915), working as chief executive of this firm until his retirement in 1930. Paul Quattlebaum represented Horry County in the South Carolina Senate from 1935 to 1944. He sat on various Senate committees and took a personal interest in the oversight of the State Historical
- Page 4- Quattlebaum Family Papers Mss.0076 Commission, now known as the South Carolina Department of Archives and History. Agitation by Senator Quattlebaum to enhance the facilities of the Medical College of South Carolina resulted in the dramatic growth of that school. He followed politics avidly throughout his life and after his retirement became involved in the Eisenhower presidential campaign of 1952.
After leaving the Senate Quattlebaum focused his efforts on historical and genealogical research and church and civic affairs. His publishing credits include a massive genealogical project titled Quattlebaum: A Palatine Family in South Carolina which appeared in the South Carolina Historical and Genealogical Magazine (1947-48) and The Land Called Chicora (1956), a scholarly monograph dealing with early European settlements on the South Carolina coast. His civic interests involved serving on the Board of Trustees of Queens College (1930-1964), being President of the Conway Chamber of Commerce (1935-36; 1944-45), President of the Conway Lions Club (1956-57), and life member of the Horry County Library Commission. A lifelong Presbyterian, Paul Quattlebaum was a ruling elder of Kingston Presbyterian Church (1907-64) in Conway and devoted himself to local, state, and denomination-wide church activities.
Paul Quattlebaum married Sue Martin of Marion, South Carolina, November 22, 1911. They had four children: Paul, Jr., Laura Janette, Katherine McQueen, and Sue Martin. He died August 9, 1964.
Paul Quattlebaum, Jr. was born September 14, 1912 in Conway, South Carolina. He attended Clemson College and graduated in 1933 with a degree in electrical engineering. Moving to Charleston after graduation, Paul managed a retail appliance store until called to military service in 1942. In 1947 Paul was a member of the South Carolina Education Survey Committee. During the post war years, he was active in numerous fraternal, civic and business organizations including the Chamber of Commerce where he was chair of the military affairs committee during a period of rapid expansion of military bases in the Charleston area. In 1960 he sold his appliance business and became director of the South Carolina Field Office of the United States Department of Commerce for almost twenty years. That same year, he was elected by the General Assembly to become a member of the Board of Trustees of Clemson. Upon the completion of his fifth term as an elected trustee on January 1, 1980, he was awarded the title Trustee Emeritus. Paul Quattlebaum continued to loyally serve Clemson University for over the next twenty years, attending Board meetings and University events for years until near his death on May 15, 2003.
Paul Quattlebaum Jr. married Margaret Lillian Hass of Charleston in 1937 with whom he raised three daughters: Patricia Sue Quattlebaum, Margaret Quattlebaum Hahn, and the Rev. Laura Quattlebaum. After the death of Margaret Quattlebaum in 1975 Paul married Verbia Elane Arnold in 1976.

Scope and Contents
The Quattlebaum Papers consist primarily of correspondence and business records of Cephas Perry Quattlebaum (1851-1929) and the correspondence, reports, and research relating to Paul Quattlebaum's (1886-1964) career as a utility executive, his service as a state senator from Horry County, and his activity as a genealogist and historian.

Arrangement
The collection is arranged in the following 17 series: 1 General Paul Quattlebaum, 1817-1890 2 Cephas Perry Quattlebaum, 1860-1915 3 Cephas Perry Quattlebaum Miscellaneous Business Records, 1860-1915 4 Clemson College, 1903-1907 5 Quattlebaum Light and Ice Company, 1904-1940 6 Paul Quattlebaum Personal Series, 1907-1963 7 Paul Quattlebaum Senate Series, 1936-1945 8 Horry County Civil Defense Series, 1941-1945 9 Eisenhower For President Campaign Series, 1951-1956 10 A Palatine Family in South Carolina and Related Materials Series, 1933-1963 11 The Land Called Chicora and Related Materials Series, 1933-1963 12 Horry County Families Series, 1948-1964 13 Senatorial Research Committee Series, 1956-1963 14 Richard Champion Series, 1952-1980 15 German Immigration Series, 1972-1982 16 Northeast Corner of South Carolina Series, 1959, undated 17 Paul Quattlebaum Jr. Series, 1933-2003
The correspondence, documents, and records from the first series is fragmentary. The material from General Paul Quattlebaum consists of several letters to and from various Confederate government officials and military officers attempting to gain promotions for his sons, Theodore and Edmund. This series includes a long letter from James Henry Hammond to General Quattlebaum concerning Confederate politics.
- Page 6- Quattlebaum Family Papers Mss.0076
The two Cephas Perry Quattlebaum series contain business records and correspondence relating to his Conway, South Carolina law practice, including the scattered records of several local businesses which passed into the receivership of Quattlebaum's law firm. There is also some correspondence with family and friends. The series is arranged chronologically.
The Clemson College series documents certain aspects of Paul Quattlebaum's career as a cadet. His activity in the Calhoun Literary Society and the YMCA represent the major topics in this small series.
The Quattlebaum Light and Ice Company series provides a picture of the operations of a locally-owned, family operated utility business in early twentieth-century South Carolina. These alphabetically-arranged files contain reference material and correspondence between Paul Quattlebaum and his customers and suppliers. This correspondence documents Paul Quattlebaum's executive traits of tenacity, diplomacy, and shrewd business judgment. There is some correspondence related to the Santee-Cooper project.
The Personal Series follows the life of Paul Quattlebaum as private citizen. It is composed chiefly of correspondence dating from the mid-1930's until his death in 1964. This correspondence documents Quattlebaum's efforts in civic and church affairs. His lifelong interest in state and national politics is reflected in many letters to and from old political colleagues. This series also holds personal family correspondence and material relating to medical and financial matters.
The Senate Series details Paul Quattlebaum's nine year tenure in the South Carolina State Senate. In addition to correspondence from constituents, politicians, and government officials, the series also holds reference material such as reports and informational memoranda. The correspondence documents the inner workings of state politics and also illuminates the internal operations of local government in Horry County. The various Horry County files, along with folders titled "Magistrates," "Sheriff," and "Delegation," help provide a glimpse of county government in the pre-Home Rule years of South Carolina. Quattlebaum's prominence in Horry politics led to his appointment as chairman of the Horry County Council of Defense, a local agency of the state-wide civil defense effort. His activity in this role is documented in the Horry County Civil Defense Series.
Although Paul Quattlebaum ended his Senate career in 1945, he remained a keen student of politics. A conservative Democrat, Quattlebaum decried the Truman administration's stance regarding national defense, organized labor, and Civil Rights. He energetically supported the candidacy of Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1952 and helped establish a "South Carolinians for Eisenhower" movement. During this campaign Quattlebaum ran unsuccessfully as an independent presidential elector. The Eisenhower for President Campaign Series records Quattlebaum's efforts in the 1952 election. This small series gives evidence of changing political allegiances in South Carolina and the weakening of the "Solid South" in national politics.
Paul Quattlebaum's love for South Carolina was only exceeded by love for his family. His achievements in genealogical and historical research are documented in two separate series. A Palatine Family in South Carolina and Related Materials reveals Quattlebaum's methodical genealogical research in this family history. The correspondence and reference material in this
- Page 7- Quattlebaum Family Papers Mss.0076 series supply a wealth of information on the German Protestant pioneers of the South Carolina midlands. The Land Called Chicora and Related Materials Series holds correspondence and research notes dealing with early European settlements on the South Carolina coast. These files furnish a potentially rich source of information for students of American frontier history. Although the primary focus of this series is research material directly related to Quattlebaum's 1956 book, The Land Called Chicora, the series also contains numerous folders pertaining to the history of the South Carolina Low Country and miscellaneous genealogical inquiries.
As a genealogist Paul Quattlebaum appreciated the need to record vital information on individuals and families. The Horry County Families Series represents his sixteen year effort in collecting obituary notices of residents of Horry County. The genealogical expertise of Paul Quattlebaum was also sought after by Emily Bellinger Reynolds and Joan Reynolds Faunt as they compiled their Biographical Directory of the Senate of the State of South Carolina, 1776-1964. The Senatorial Research Committee Series documents Quattlebaum's contributions to this volume.
The Richard Champion Series, is a manuscript volume compiled by Paul Quattlebaum in 1956. Richard Champion, a noted potter and merchant from Bristol, England, lived briefly in South Carolina in the late eighteenth-century. Paul Quattlebaum's cousin, W. Dan Quattlebaum, collected Champion porcelain and persuaded Paul Quattlebaum to write a biographical sketch of Champion.
The German Immigration Series consists of a variety of research materials related to the settlement in South Carolina by German speaking immigrants as well as their accomplishments, community and religious establishments collected by Paul Quattlebaum, Jr. It is uncertain whether any publication resulted from this research. Some material from his father's research on A Palatine Family in South Carolina is also included.
The Northeast Corner of South Carolina Series consists of Paul Quattlebaum's research material and manuscript drafts titled "The Northeast Corner of South Carolina or Old Georgetown District" dated during 1959. The project was discontinued after four chapters and apparently was never published.
The Paul Quattlebaum Jr. Series, 1933-2003, consists almost exclusively of material about Clemson University, primarily related to Paul Quattlebaum Jr.'s service on the Board of Trustees. The bulk of the Trustee papers are from the 1995-2001 when, as a Trustee Emeritus, he continued to participate in Board activities.
Because Paul Quattlebaum did not neatly segment his different political, historical and personal interests, there exists some overlapping of material in the twelve series. Specifically, the Personal Series and the Chicora series both contain folders related to historical research; also, correspondence between Quattlebaum and notable political figures such as James F. Byrnes, Olin D. Johnston, Burnet R. Maybank, and Strom Thurmond can be found in both the Senate Series and the Personal Series. Processing notes for most of the series are available in the reference file.

Series 1: General Paul Quattlebaum, 1870-1890 Physical Description: 0.15 Cubic Feet Series Description This series consists of fragmentary correspondence and documents from family members. Most of the correspondence is between General Paul Quattlebaum (1812-1890) and his son Cephas during the decades after the Civil War.

Series 2: Cephas Perry Quattlebaum, 1859-1928 Physical Description: 3.5 Cubic Feet Series Description This series has correspondence about Cephas Perry Quattlebaum's years as a practicing attorney in Conway, South Carolina, first in partnership with W.D. and J. Monroe Johnson and later on his own. This correspondence includes letters from farmers, lumbermen, and others suffering from the effects of the late nineteenth century agricultural depression in the South Carolina Low Country. It documents real estate activity and Quattlebaum's role in collecting judgments for overdue bills in the Conway area. They also document Quattlebaum's service as local attorney for the Atlantic Coast Line and his unsuccessful run for the office of Horry County Solicitor in 1908.
Quattlebaum was active in local politics, serving as Conway's first mayor in 1898. He was a conservative Democrat and opposed the Tillman wing of the party. There are campaign flyers, voting tallies, and other material related to the elections of 1892 and 1894. He corresponded occasionally with South Carolina Governor Cole Blease and Congressman J. Edwin Ellerbe. There are also some correspondence with family members, particularly his wife Janette, local fraternal lodge officials, and other Low Country lawyers and businessmen. Of particular note is the personal correspondence from the Reconstruction period including information related to the creation of militia companies after the disputed 1876 Hampton-Chamberlain gubernatorial election.

Series 5: Paul Quattlebaum, Quattlebaum Light and Ice Company Physical Description: 1 Cubic Feet Series Description The Quattlebaum Light and Ice Company series provides a picture of the operations of a locally-owned, family operated utility business in early twentieth-century South Carolina and documents early efforts to provide commercial and residential electric service in South Carolina. This correspondence documents Paul Quattlebaum's executive traits of tenacity, diplomacy, and shrewd business judgment.
Established in Conway, South Carolina in 1915, the Quattlebaum Light and Ice Company evolved from two earlier family enterprises, the Conway Light and Power Company (1907) and the Quattlebaum Ice Company (1912). The company remained under control of the Quattlebaum family until it was sold to the General Water Works and Electric Corporation of Fort Worth, Texas, in 1929. This series provides evidence of day-to-day transactions with customers and suppliers, including the sale of light and power service, domestic coal sales, ice sales, and house wiring service. Financial records such as audit reports

Series 7: Paul Quattlebaum, Senate, 1936-1945 Physical Description: 6 Cubic Feet Series Description This series contains correspondence, memoranda, and reports pertaining to Paul Quattlebaum's nine year tenure in the South Carolina Senate. Paul Quattlebaum entered the Senate in the summer of 1935 to fill out the unexpired term of deceased Horry Senator H. Kemper Cooke. Quattlebaum successfully stood for re-election for a full four-year term in 1936 and was subsequently returned to the Senate in 1940. He worked untiringly to enhance the Horry County highway network and took an active interest in agricultural affairs, the Medical College of South Carolina, the Santee-Cooper hydroelectric project, and the State Historical Commission. Conway attorney Frank A. Thompson defeated Quattlebaum in his third bid for re-election in the summer of 1944.

This series consists primarily of correspondence from constituents, Horry County public officials, state government personnel, and other senators. The correspondence documents the inner workings of state politics and also illuminates the internal operations of local government in Horry County. The various Horry County files, along with folders titled "Magistrates," "Sheriff," and "Delegation," help provide a glimpse of county government in the pre-Home Rule years of South Carolina. Notable correspondents include Solomon Blatt, Edgar A. Brown, James F. Byrnes, J. Emile Harley, Richard M. Jeffries, Olin D. Johnston, John L. McMillan, Burnet R. Maybank, Cotesworth P. Means, Ellison D. Smith, J. Strom Thurmond, George Bell Timmerman and Ransome J. Williams.
Arrangement The files are organized alphabetically by subject and/or correspondent. The internal arrangement of each folder is chronological. Documents relating to state agencies are located alphabetically under "South Carolina"; e.g., material on the State Public Service Commission is found in a folder titled "S. C. State Public Service Commission."

Series 9: Paul Quattlebaum, Eisenhower For President Campaign, 1951-1956 Physical Description: 0.15 Cubic Feet
- Page 39- Quattlebaum Family Papers Mss.0076
Series Description The Eisenhower for President Campaign Series consists of correspondence, brochures, and clippings concerning the 1952 presidential campaign in South Carolina. The 1952 election between Stevenson and Eisenhower instigated political discord in the South Carolina Democratic Party. Although a lifelong Democrat, Paul Quattlebaum participated enthusiastically in Eisenhower's campaign. This series documents changing political attitudes and allegiances in South Carolina politics and provides background material on the twentieth-century resurgence of the Republican Party in South Carolina.
The correspondence deals mainly with political organizing and electioneering. It charts the evolution of the "South Carolinians for Eisenhower" movement from antecedent organizations such as the Charleston County Citizens League and the Citizens Grass Roots Crusade. Numerous letters pertain to Quattlebaum's role as an independent presidential elector. Notable correspondents include Edgar A. Brown, James F. Byrnes, William A. Kimbel, Douglas McKay, and Stanley Morse.
Arrangement The correspondence files are organized alphabetically, and each alphabetical category is arranged chronologically. Clippings, pamphlets, petitions, and form letters are in separate folders following the correspondence.

Series 10: Paul Quattlebaum, A Palatine Family in South Carolina and Related Materials, 1887-1963, undated Physical Description: 4 Cubic Feet Series Description This series consists of genealogical research files, family correspondence, research notes, and manuscript drafts pertaining to the publication of the Quattlebaum family genealogy. Paul Quattlebaum was an avid history and genealogy buff. He began investigating his family history in 1933, and his efforts resulted in the publication of Quattlebaum: A Palatine Family in South Carolina in the South Carolina Historical and Genealogical Magazine (vols. 48 and 49) in a serialized format over a two-year period. This article traces the family's first appearance in North America in 1736 and documents the migrations of subsequent generations to South Carolina and other southern states. Quattlebaum's methodical research produced a - Page 40- Quattlebaum Family Papers Mss.0076 steady flow of inquiries and correspondence with relatives throughout the United States. An outgrowth of Quattlebaum's research was the formation of the Quattlebaum Clan, Inc., which organized family reunions.
The genealogical files consist of form-letter inquiries, correspondence, and clippings dealing with specific members of the family tree. The correspondence files cover more general family matters and also contain photocopies of research materials such as maps and deeds. Important correspondents include South Carolina historians J. Harold Easterby, Anne King Gregorie, and A. S. Salley. Additional Quattlebaum family information can be found in M. M. Quattlebaum's Quattlebaum Family History (1950), located in Clemson University Library's Special Collections.
Arrangement The research files are organized by Quattlebaum family branches as follows: Johannes/John line; Johannes/George line; Peter line; and Matthias line. Each folder corresponds to an individual with an assigned reference number. In some instances information on descendants of a particular person may be included in the folder which bears that person's name. This arrangement follows exactly the published genealogy of the Quattlebaum family which appeared in the South Carolina Historical and Genealogical Magazine in 1947 and 1948. A photocopy of the published article and a classified index of this genealogy are located in folder #1 and serve as finding aids. The family correspondence files are arranged alphabetically by correspondent or subject, and each folder is organized chronologically. Miscellaneous research notes and two drafts of the manuscript are found at the end of the series.

Series 11: Paul Quattlebaum, The Land Called Chicora and Related Materials Series Description The Land Called Chicora and Related Materials series is composed of research notes, correspondence, and manuscript drafts relating to Paul Quattlebaum's book, The Land Called Chicora. This series also contains material dealing with general South Carolina history as well as genealogically-related correspondence.
The publication of The Land Called Chicora: The Carolinas Under Spanish Rule with French Intrusions, 1520-1670 by the University of Florida Press in 1956 was the culmination of over twenty years research by Paul Quattlebaum. The book details early European exploration and abortive attempts at settlement along the South Carolina coast prior to the coming of the English in 1670. In writing this book Quattlebaum compiled research from libraries and archives in North America and Europe. He maintained extensive correspondence with various historians, curators, archivists, and antiquarians. As his reputation as a local historian grew, Quattlebaum received numerous genealogical inquiries pertaining to South Carolina and Horry County. In some instances this genealogical correspondence relates to individuals in the Horry County Families series in the Quattlebaum Papers. Well known correspondents in the Chicora series include A. M. Huntington, Bernard Baruch, and South Carolina historians Robert Meriwether, Chapman J. Milling, and A. S. Salley.
Arrangement The files are arranged alphabetically by subject or correspondent and each folder is organized chronologically. Early manuscript drafts of several chapters are located at the end of the series.

box 57 folder 1 Series 14: Paul Quattlebaum, Richard Champion - Page 54- Quattlebaum Family Papers Mss.0076
Physical Description: 1 volume(s) Series Description The Richard Champion Series consists of a bound, seventy-two page typescript compiled by Paul Quattlebaum in 1956. The volume is a scrapbook of material copied from various authors. It chronicles the career of Richard Champion (1743-1791) as a merchant, a manufacturer of porcelain, and a political activist. Champion, an English Quaker, created porcelain which compared favorably with that of Josiah Wedgewood. A staunch Whig, Champion emigrated to Camden, South Carolina in 1784 and later served as a delegate to the Constitutional Convention of 1790. Paul Quattlebaum compiled this manuscript at the behest of his cousin, Rev. W. Dan Quattlebaum of Pasadena, California, himself an ardent porcelain collector.

Series 17: Paul Quattlebaum Jr. Biographical Note Paul Quattlebaum, Jr. was born September 14, 1912 in Conway, South Carolina, the son of Paul and Sue Martin Quattlebaum. He attended public schools in Horry County graduating from Burroughs High School. He attended Clemson College and graduated in 1933 with a degree in electrical engineering. Moving to Charleston after graduation, Paul managed a retail appliance store until called to military service in 1942. He served in the US Army during World War II working with military ordinance at the Aberdeen Proving Grounds in Maryland. He continued to be in the Army Reserves retiring in 1961 with the rank of Captain. Paul Quattlebaum Jr. married Margaret Lillian Hass of Charleston in 1937 with whom he raised three daughters: Patricia Sue Quattlebaum, Margaret Quattlebaum Hahn, and the Rev. Laura Quattlebaum. After the death of Margaret Quattlebaum in 1975 Paul married Verbia Elane Arnold in 1976.
In 1947 Paul was a member of the South Carolina Education Survey Committee that prepared a landmark report on the condition and challenges of the public schools in the state. During the post war years, he was active in numerous fraternal, civic and business organizations including the Arion Socety, the German Friendly Society, the St. Andrews Society, the Lions Club, the Harbor Club of Charleston and the Chamber of Commerce where he was chair of the military affairs committee during a period of rapid expansion of military bases in the Charleston area. In 1960 he sold his appliance business and became director of the South Carolina Field Office of the United States Department of Commerce for almost twenty years. He was a member of economic study and advisory committees created by Governors West and McNair.

That same year, he was elected by the General Assembly to become a member of the Board of Trustees of Clemson where he served on the Public Relations, Educational Policy, Student Affairs, Development, and Executive Committees. Upon the completion of his fifth term as an elected trustee on January 1, 1980, he was awarded the title Trustee Emeritus. Paul Quattlebaum continued to loyally serve Clemson University for over the next twenty years, attending Board meetings and University events for years until near his death on May 15, 2003.
Series Description This series, 1933-2003, consists almost exclusively of material about Clemson University, primarily related to Paul Quattlebaum Jr.'s service on the Board of Trustees with the exception of a folder of newspaper clippings and one about his military service. Although he served on the Board from 1960-1980, there are few items from this period. The bulk of the Trustee papers are from the 1995-2001 when, as a Trustee Emeritus, he continued to participate in Board activities. Included is documentation of the Board's Educational Policy Committee and some Board meetings. As a member of the Board, Paul displayed a keen interest in the University Libraries, as well as research programs in the College of Engineering.
