Abstract

Collection compiled by Paul Quattlebaum, Sr. (1886-1964) and Paul Quattlebaum, Jr., chiefly consists of genealogical research on the related families of McQueen (or MacQueen), McDonald, Quattlebaum, Harllee, Holladay, Macfarlane, Stuart, and Clark. The bulk of the material pertains to the McQueen and Quattlebaum families, and includes data on the Scottish forebears of Dr. William McQueen of Cheraw (S.C.), and a copy of his dissertation (1830) presented to the faculty of the Medical College of South Carolina: a genealogy compiled by Paul Quattlebaum entitled "Quattlebaum: A Palatine Family of South Carolina" (ca. 1985); genealogical correspondence (1954-1957) of Paul Quattlebaum, Sr.; and a typescript copy of "A Reminiscence of the Confederate War by Miss Virginia Quattlebaum" which recounts how the female members and slaves of the Quattlebaum family saved their house in Leesville (S.C.) from being burned by Federal soldiers in 1865. There are also a few original letters (1908-1911) from McQueen Quattlebaum, an engineering student at Clemson College, to his family. Macfarlane family material includes information on Allan Macfarlane (or McFarlan), who emigrated from Scotland in 1839 and settled in Cheraw (S.C.).
