##History & notes:
(Partially taken from Quattlebaum, A Palantine Family in South Carolina,
compiled by Paul Quattlebaum, Conway, South Carolina, August, 1950 - This
information can also be found in the four issues of the South Carolina
Historical & Genealogical Magazine for 1947 & the four issues for 1948.)
BACK IN GERMANY

Petter (then spelled Quattelbaum), the progenitor of the Quattlebaum family in
America, has been found on the Marriage Register of the Evangelical Congregation
of Kettwig, near Mulheim, Ruhr District, Germany on the above mentioned date.
Also shown on the same register isWilhelm Quattelbaum who married Anna Maria
Brands, Wittwe von Mulheim, Oct. 3, 1723, along with a brother of Anna Barbara,
Johann von der Hutte, which is recorded with the notation "Herkendall",
indicating that the House of Hutte & the House of Herkendall are the same.

The Baptismal Register of the Evangelical Congregation of Kettewig records the
birth of 2 children: Christina, born Mar. 4, 1708, parents, Jocoben am grossen
Quattelbaum & Lisgen auss der Euen & Anna Christin, born Mar. 9, 1708, parents
Hans Jacob Quattelbaum and Catharine Brielman. The relationship of the members
of the Quattelbaum family recorded here can only be a matter of conjecture.
Indications are, however, that Kettwig was the anscestral home of the family.
THE PALATINE (A BRIEF HISTORY)
Kettwig is in the Ruhr District, and is not in the Palatine. The Palatine was a
gathering place for Protestant people planning to seek religious freedom in the
New World. All those who came to America, and loosely classified by the English
officials as Palantines, were not of necessity citizens of the Palantinate. Many
were from neighboring provinces. This may have been the case of Petter
Quattelbaum, who appears with his family in the records of Pennsylvania.

Dating back in the Middle Ages and extending through the colonial period of the
US, the Palatinate of the Rhine (German Pfalz) was one of the important
countries of central Europe. About the time our young country was entering upon
its career as an independent nation, the Palatinate was absorbed, cheifly by
Bavaria, and in this way lost its identity on the map of Europe. The Palatinate,
however, should not be forgotten, for it was the mother country of a large
number of Americans.

Both Luther & Calvin left their impress on the Palatinate, which became a
Protestant county, hence heir to devastation at the hand of its Catholic
neighbors. There was little left of Palatinate, its people, or their homes when
Louis XIV marched his hordes through the Rhine Land.

Many from the Palatinate emigrated to America. They settled chiefly in New York,
Pennsylvania, and the Carolinas. Prior to the Revolution, there was a large
migration of people from Pennsylvania southward, mainly the second generation of
those who had settled there. Many Palatine families participated in this
movement and settled in Virginia and in North Carolina. Others moved still
further south into what was then the back country of South Carolina. Hence, on
the Congaree, on the Saluda, and on the Broad, they joined their countrymen, who
had enterd the province through Charles Town, in such settlements as Amelia,
Saxe Gotha, and the "Dutch Fork". Their neighbors, the German Swiss, had settled
in Orangeburg.

After the Revolution, these "Dutch" people, as the English called them, spread
into other parts of the state. Many of the next generation are found in the
following new frontiers in Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana. The succeeding
generation spread into Texas, Arkansas, and further west. Today those same
families are found the country over, from the Atlantic to the pacific, from
Canada to the Gulf.

The Quattlebaum family was one of the many Palatine families that emigrated to
America, and participated in the general movement of the Palantine people in
this country. In its activity, the family is also typically Palatine.
THE QUATTLEBAUM NAME

The name Quattlebaum is made up of two words. The latter word, "baum", or "tree"
presents no difficulty. The word "quattel", denoting the specie, seems to have
been a provincial word that has not found its way into the present-day German
language. There is a family tradition to the effect that the quattel was a
fruit, belonging to the apple, or quince family. A late informant says the word
"quattel" denotes the pruneplum. The original sturdy stock of the quattle tree,
most likely, has through grafting or budding become a more modern fruit. It is
said that the quattel was a slow-growing tree, so slow-growing that the planter
seldom lived to reap the fruit from the tree he planted. Hence, a man was said
to "plant his quattels" when he did something for posterity. (Family tradition
regarding the name traces back to "an old German scholar" who taught at the
schools of Saxe Gotha about a century ago.) During the first 2 generations in
America, the family spelled the name Quattelbaum. In the third generation, the
spelling under English influence, became confused. The fourth generation
eventually settled on the spelling in use today - Quattlebaum.
THE FAMILY IN PENNSYLVANIA
"At the Courthouse of Philadelphia, Oct. 19, 1736. Thirty-seven Foreigners, from
the Palatinate, who, with their Families, making in all one hundred and ten
persons, were imported here in the Brigantine John of Perth Amboy, George
Frazer, Master, from Rotterdam, but last from Dover, as by Clearance thence,
were this day qualified as usual." (From the minutes of the Pennsylvania
Provincial Council, printed in Colonial Records, quoted by Ralph Eaver
Strassburger, Pennsylvanian German Pioneers, 3 vols., Norristown, Pa., 1934) I,
p.xxxi

Second on the list of those who on that date subscribed to the oath of
allegiance, and also to the oath of abjuration, appears the signature of Petter
Quattelbaum. The writing indicates he was a man accustomed to the use of a pen.

Accompanying Petter Quattelbaum were his wife, Anna Barbara, three young
daughters, Gertraud, Maria Catherina, and Anna Barbara, and perhaps infant son,
Mathias. (Conjecture, based on known facts.) Maria Quattelbaum, who appears as a
witness at the marriage of Maria Catherina to Johann Umstadt, was likely the
mother of Petter, and presumably came over with him.

The family seems to have gone to the frontier, for the name of Petter
Quattelbaum appears on a petition, dated June, 1739, for a road in Oley
township, now in Berks Co. (records, Phila. Ct. of Quarter Sessions, Historical
Society of Montgomery Co., Pa., II, p. 140a.), and the birth of a son, Johannes,
is recorded, Feb. 18, 1742, in the records of Williams township, now in Lehigh
Co. (church records, Williams Township Congregation, Publications Pennsylvania
German Society, XVIII, p.6). How long the family lived on the frontier is not
known.

The next records are in Philadelphia. Many of the Palatines were skilled
artisans who helped lay the foundation of American industry. Family history
indicates that Petter Quattelbaum was one of these. Likely he found it more
profitable to apply his trade in the city than to do frontier farming.

On Mar. 7, 1746, the daughter, Gertaud, was married to Franz Carl Huynt. A son,
Johann Jacob, was born to this union (MS Records, St. Micheal's & Zion
Congregation, Philadelphia, Baptisms, I, pp. 26, 42, 43. The name Huynt is also
spelled Huyn.). The marriage of 2 daughters are of record. On Mar. 31, 1748,
Maria Catharina was united in marriage with Johann Jacob Umstadt (a witness to
this marriage was Maria Quattelbaum, probably grandmother of the bride, her
namesake), and, on Jan. 3, 1749, Anna Barbara & Hans Eberhardt Kunkel were
married. Each daughter is recorded as belonging to the Reformed Church, the
Calvinist church of the Palatinate. Each married a Lutheran. There is also a
record that a Quattelbaum married a Stauffer (the Parkiomen Register, New
Series, X, p. 122. Stauffer data, unclassified, in possession of Schwenkfelder
Hist. Library, Penn., Pa.). (For the record of the 3 marriages recorded here,
together with witnesses, see: John B. Linn & Wm. H. Egle, eds., Record of Penn.
Marriages Prior to 1810, Vol. II, Penn. Archives, 2nd Series, Harrisburg, 1880,
IX, pp.288, 290; Office Genealogical Society of Penn, MS Records of St. Micheals
& Zion Church, Philadelphia Marriages, 1747-1764, pp.8, 21, 25: Penn. German
Society Proceedings & Addresses, Lebanon, 1903, XIV, Part 2, pp. 4, 11, 13. All
dates are "new style".)

The second burial entry in the Record Book of the First Reformed Church of
Philadelphia records the burial of Petter Quattelbaum, Jan. 14, 1748, aged 50.
(MS Records, First Reformed Church, Philadelphia, III, p. 2437, in possession of
Genealogical Society of Pa.) At the time of his death he was living in
Kinsington, an old town, now part of the city of Philadelphia. The records state
that he left a widow & 9 children. The names of 7 are known. What is known of
the 4 daughters is recorded here. Of one son, nothing is known, not even his
name. Three other sons - Mathias, Johannes & Peter - appear later, in the
records of SC.

In just a month after the death of the head of the family, the youngest member
of the family died & was buried, Feb. 14, 1749. She was 2 year-old Johanna.

The funeral of Johanna is the last recorded fact regarding the Quattelbaum, or
any of its connections, thus far found in Pennsylvania. Probably in this same
year the family, in a body, participated in the trek southward into Virginia.
Here the family is said to have lived for some years, but so far no record of
this sojourn has been found. Nor is there any record that the family tarried in
NC. Prior to the Revolution, the 3 brothers, Mathias, Johannes, and Peter, then
young men, took up residence in the Dutch Fork section of SC.

* I have a bit of a problem with several of these having the same first names.

that!


JOHANNES QUATTELBAUM

George Washington Quattlebaum's father. See further history below.
#Born: February 18, 1742 in Williams Township, Philadelphia.
Married: First wife's name unknown. Married 1772 or 1773. Second wife was Miss
McDuffey. They had 4 children.
Died: Between 1813 (deeded land to George, then) & 1820 (since he is not listed
in the census, then), probably in Sleepy Creek area, Edgefield Co., SC.
#Children:
From 1st wife:
1. John, born Dec. 1, 1774, south of the Saluda in Saxe Gotha township, about 2
miles north of the present town of Leesville.
Probably from 2nd wife:
2. daughter, name unknown, born about 1786.
3. George Wahington Quattlebaum, born 96 District, Edgefield County, South
Carolina about 1787.
4. daughter, name unknown, born about 1789.
#History & notes:
(Taken in a great part from Quattlebaum, A Palantine Family in South Carolina,
compiled by Paul Quattlebaum, Conway, South Carolina, August, 1950 - This
information can also be found in the four issues of the South Carolina
Historical & Genealogical Magazine for 1947 & the four issues for 1948.)
THE FAMILY IN SOUTH CAROLINA
That V- shaped wedge of country between the Saluda & the Broad was so generally
settled by Rhinelanders that it became known as the "Dutch Fork". It was in this
section of South Carolina that the 3 young Quattlebaum brothers, Mathias,
Johannes, and Peter, migrated. The date is unknown, but it was probably about
1765. Land was aquired in the Crim's Creek section, near what is now the
dividing line between Lexington & Newberry Counties. (Sherman's army destroyed
the early land records of Lexington. Several deeds recorded at Newberry court
house are for lands in Lexington.)

Mathias accumulated large land holdings in the area of the Dutch Fork, his lands
extending from the Broad to Salada Rivers. He probably lived on Crim's Creek,
where there is a mill site, which indicates that he was a miller. He also
supplied flour to state troops in 1782. He left a family, but I am not including
them here.

Peter settled in the Dutch Fork area in what is now Newberry Co. When he died in
1806, his widow was left with a considerable estate. He also left a family, but
I will not attempt to go into the side lines in these pages.
JOHANNES QUATTELBAUM

Johannes, our direct line, was born in Williams Township, Pennsylvania, Feb. 18,
1742. The record gives his parents as Petter and Anna Barbara Quattelbaum
(Records Williams Township Congregation, Publications Penn. German Society,
XVIII, p.6.) After migrating with his 2 brothers, Mathias & Peter, to South
Carolina, he first settled with them in the Dutch Fork. (Office of Secretary of
State, Plat Book 21, p. 241. Land surveyed for John Adam Summer, June 29, 1772.
Plat shows John Quattlebaum abutting land. There is no record as to when or how
it was aquired.) Later, probably about the time of his marriage, he established
a homestead south of the Saluda in Saxe Gotha township, about 2 miles north of
the present town of Leesville. Here his first son, John, was born, Dec. 1, 1774.
(W.T.B. - Dr. W.T.Booker, Scraps of History, The Lexington Dispatch, July 24,
1901; Capt. John Quattlebaum's family Bible; his tombstone - about 4 miles souh
of Batesburg, Lexington Co., SC)

In March, 1778, the General Assembly of SC ratified a new constitution. The same
month the General Assembly provided a new jury list for several districts of the
state. On the jury list for Saxe Gotha township, Orangeburg Dist., appears the
name of Johannes Quattelbaum. (Office of Historical Commission of SC, MS Jury
List) At that time, there was little or no fighting in the back country of the
state. As issues became more clearly defined, and as the need for soldiers
became apparent, Johannes joined the fight for independence and served under
Marion. One of his companions in service was Thomas Burkett, who later became
the father-in-law of his son, John. (W.T.B., Scraps of History, Lexington
Dispatch, July 24, 1901; Thomas Burkett's tombstone, Lexington Co., SC)

After the Revolution, Johannes purchased land, and recieved grants of land from
the state, in the Dutch settlement on Sleepy Creek & Little Stevens Creek, in
the District of 96, in what is now Edgefield Co.

In 1788 fifteen German Protestant congregations formed an ecclesiastical union
and applied to the General Assembly for a charter. On the petition from the
Reformed Church on Sleepy Creek, dedicated to Queen Charlotte, appears the
signature of Johannes Quattelbaum. (Office of Historical Commission of SC, MS
Petition; SC Historical & Genealogical Magazine, Oct., 1946)

It is likely Johannes was married a second time before moving to Sleepy Creek,
"otherwise called Rockey Creek". There is no record as to whom he married. At
home on Sleepy Creek the family of 2 boys and 2 girls grew to manhood &
womanhood. The last record of Johannes is a land deed to his son, George, dated
Feb. 16, 1813. (Edgefield court house, Deed book 32, p. 336.) He does not appear
in the census records of 1820.

#History & notes:
GEORGE WASHINGTON QUATTLEBAUM
George Quattlebaum was born in 1787 & grew to manhood in Edgefield District.
When he was only 8, his father, Johannes, secured a grant of 350 acres in his
name, on Sleepy Creek. He later aquired other lands, all in the neighborhood of
the family home place. When about 18, he married. His wife was named Mary, but
the names of her parents are unknown.

On Dec. 9, 1812, he enlisted as a volunteer in the war with England, served as a
fifer in the company of Capt. Hollaway, commanded by Lt. John Y. Coleman, in the
regiment of Colonel Carter, commanded later by Col. Youngblood. He was stationed
at "Beaufort's Island near Bullspoint". (National Archives, Bounty Land Grants)

His wife, Mary, renounced dower to a tract of land sold to Peter Outz, Dec. 22,
1815. (Edgefield Co. court house, Deed book 32, pp. 486, 488.) She does not
appear on the census records for 1820. Later, he married again.

About 1836 George Quattlebaum, and most of his family, participated in the
considerable movement of Edgefield families to Alabama. His son John, later
known as "Col. John Quattlebaum", remained a resident of Edgefield District.

George Quattlebaum appears on the census records for Chambers Co., Alabama,
1840, & Talladega Co., 1850. The last record of him is the census record for
Chambers Co., Alabama, 1860. He, then 73, is listed in the family of his
daughter, Mary Q. Allen.

Other names appear in the census records of Alabama that are likely the names of
children of George Quattlebaum. The known sons & probable daughters are listed
above.
GEORGE'S CHILDREN
His first son, Col. John Quattlebaum, was probably a colonel in the state
militia, since most records for him bear the title, "Colonel". He remained in SC
after the rest of the family left, acquiring large land holdings in Sleepy Creek
& Little Stephans Creek area in Edgefield Co., including a gold mine which he
operated successfully for some years. He was tax collector for Edgefield 1845-48
& 1853-56 and afterwards, from 1860-62, he was a Representative from Edgefield
Dist. in the General Assembly of SC. This was cut short by the secession of SC.
Jan. 28, 1861, he was mustered as a Capt. in Co. C, 19 th Reg., SC Vol., known
as Palmetto Sharp Shooters. He married Elizabeth Youngblood, daughter of Jacob
Youngblood & Sarah Still (Youngblood). He died Dec. 13, 1865 & is buried in the
family cemetery near his home in Edgefield Dist., SC. His children were:

Phillip Quattlebaum moved to Alabama at about 23 years old. He lived there until
about 1868, and, following the new frontier, went to White Co., Ark., and later
to Van Buren Co., of that state. Tradition says that when there, he met &
overcame the "bully of the woods", after which he was a respected citizen of the
community. He served as a private under Capt. House in the War with the Creek
Indians. He is recorded as being a school teacher, cotton gin owner & a farmer.
He aquired considerable property near Bee Branch, Ark. A hill, or mountain, near
that place bears his name, as does also the cemetery. He was married the first
time to Levicy Still (1813-55). He was married a second time, Dec. 8, 1857, to

edges of steep cliffs and scare everyone to death. (But she was very nimble like
a goat!)
