Biography

It has been suggested his birth was on December 1, 1787 in Edgefield, Edgefield County, South Carolina but no sources have been found for that information. He was the son of Johannes Quattlebaum and Mary Shealy Quattlebaum.

The 1790 U. S. Census shows the family living in Edgefield, South Carolina. His father is "John Quadlebum". I have seen several different transcriptions of the spelling which is not clear in the record. The family included two males under sixteen (John and George) and three females (age not given which would have included Anna, Catherine and Mary. [1]

The M. M. Quattlebaum book indicates that, "He grew to manhood in Edgefield County which became Edgefield District in 1793. On February. 2, 1795, when he was about eight years old his father, Johannes, secured a grant of 350 ; acres of land in his name, on Sleepy Creek, branch of Little Stevens, Turkey Creek. He later acquired other lands, all in the neighborhood of the family home place." [2]

The 1800 U.S. Census shows the family living in Edgefield, South Carolina. His father is listed as "John Quaddlebum" in this record which shows the family including one male age ten to fifteen (George) and two females age ten to fifteen (Catherine and Mary) as well as John (over age 45) and Anna (age 26 to 44). [3]

Based on the M. M. Quattlebaum Book [2] he married when he was about 18 years old. That would place the date at about 1805. His wife was Mary Shealy. At this point no actual marriage records have been discovered.

In the 1810 U. S. Census "George Quaddlebum" and Mary were listed as between 16 and 25 years old and still lived in Edgefield, South Carolina. They had two sons under ten years old (John and James). They had two slaves. [4]

During the War of 1812 he served as a private in Youngblood's Regiment of the South Carolina, Militia. [5] [6]

On February 16, 1813, George's father signed a deed to him. This is reported to have been the last record of Johannes Quattlebaum. [7]

In the U. S. Census of 1820, taken August 7, 1820, the family was still in Edgefield. There is no adult female listed with the family which seems to show that Mary had died prior to that date. Her last child, Phillip, was born in 1817 so her death occurred between 1817 and August 1820. George is listed in the 25 - 45 age group. There were two males under ten (George and Phillip), and two between ten and fifteen (John and James). The daughter Lonie was under ten. There were seven slaves in the household. Five were under fourteen years of age (2 males and 3 females). There was one female between 14 and 25 and one female over forty-five. Four people were engaged in agriculture. [8]

In the U. S. Census of 1830 there was a new adult female in the family, Sarah Grimsley Quattlebaum. Her age was placed at twenty through twenty-nine. Placing her birth after 1800. George was listed in the thirty through thirty-nine group but I think he should have been older. The marriage would have taken place between August 1820 (the census date) and 1821 based on the birth of their first child in January 1822. The marriage would probably have taken place in Edgefield, South Carolina where the family lived in both 1820 and 1830.

The rest of the family included four new children who were the children of Sarah: one male under five (Andrew), one male 5- 9 (William), one female under five (Mary Ann) and one female 5 - 9 (Elizabeth). Mary's children who were still in the family were: males age 10 - 14 (George), males 15 - 19 (Phillip), males age 20 - 29 (James) and females age 15 -19 (Lonie). John is no longer listed with the family. He would have been in his twenties. [9]

His removal from Edgefield to Alabama was earlier than first thought, probably in 1834. Land records of Chambers County, Alabama, show that George Quattelbaum purchased land there January 21, 1835.

On April 1, 1837, George (listed as Quattlebum) purchased three parcels of land in Chambers County, Alabama totaling 160 acres from the Montgomery, Alabama Land Office. [10] [11] [12]

In the 1840 U. S. Census the family was living in Chambers County, Alabama. George was shown as between 50 and 59. There is some uncertainty about which entry was Sarah. There was a female between 30 and 39. This would be consistent with her age in the 1830 Census. There is also a female between 50 and 59 who I have not identified. She may perhaps be a relative of either George or Sarah. There were four new children in the family; Oliver (Age 5, born 1836), Andrew (Age 10, born 1830), Margaret (Age 2, born 1838), and Sarah (Age 6, born 1834). other children still in the household were William (age 18), Mary (age 13) and Elizabeth (age 16). All of these children would have been the children of George and Sarah. The household also included four slaves: two females between 24 and 35, and one male and one female under ten. [13]

George, Sarah and an Elizabeth Stedham joined the Double Springs Primitive Baptist Church soon after its opening in April 1842. A newsletter indicates, Opened a door for a reception of members and received by letter the following members, George Quattlebum and his wife Sarah Quattlebum and Elizabeth Stedham. [14] On May 14, 1842, Elected the Brethren George Quattlebum and J. L. Bibby for deacons. [14] In the September 1842 newsletter Sister Sarah Quattlebaum was listed as Deceased Members. She was apparently the first church member to die. [14] The only marriage information for George Quattlebaum was in Chambers County and indicates he married Sarah Grimsley on September 8, 1844...two years AFTER her death. [15] His son Phillip had filed papers as the administrator of her will and was also listed as a witness in the 1844 marriage. The estate was not settled until 1857 when her youngest daughter reached the age of eighteen. [16]

On May 11, 1844, the Double Springs Primitive Baptist Church Newsletter indicates that he was, Dismissed by letter Brother George Quattlebum. [14] He must have left Chambers County soon after because the next record located so far was for his January 14, 1846 appointment as Justice of the Peace in Randolph County, Alabama. [17]

The 1850 U. S. Census leaves a lot of questions. George Quattlebaum, age 65, is listed as a farmer in Talladega, Talladega Co. AL. Oliver Quattlebaum, age thirteen (his youngest son), was the only one of his known children living with him. Also in the household was Elizabeth Prince, age 42, born in Georgia, and her son James Prince, age 10, also born in Georgia. Many researchers have listed Elizabeth as a wife of George and James as his son. I don't think this is probable because the record indicates James' last name was Prince and he was born in Georgia. James would have been born in about 1840 when George was living in Alabama. Since Chambers County shares an eastern border with Troup County, Georgia it is possible he fathered a child while living with Sarah. (See Genealogy Note Below)

In the U. S. Census for 1860, George was back in Chambers County and living with the family of his daughter, Mary Ann Allen. She was the daughter of George and Sarah. George was seventy two years old. Mary was the thirty-three year old wife of William A. Allen. They had six children. [18] Elizabeth and James Prince were living in Wedowee, Randolph County, Alabama. They remained in Randolph county for the remainder of their lives.

George died before 1870. Some researchers use 1869 but no sources have been found. He was buried at Double Springs Primitive Baptist Church in an unmarked grave next to Sarah. The graves were reported to be possibly the two large brick box tombs. [14]

Research Notes

The most significant information comes from two lines of the Johannes branch of the family: There is a John line and a George line. You are looking at the beginning of the George Washington Quattlebaum Line. Note: Further research is required to locate primary documents to satisfy Wikitree source standards for information. Some research documents are shown below.

Late information indicates that his full name was George Washington Quattelbaum. All other Quattlebaums in the early family have Bible names. George's mother was probably a McDuffey. There is a family tradition that George's father, Johannes, then a widower, was serving under General Marion in the Little Peedee section of South Carolina when he met and married a Miss McDuffey. It is said their first meal was served on the bottom of a wash tube in camp in Little Peedee Swamp. [19]

It may be possible to confirm family relationships with George by comparing test results with other carriers of his Y-chromosome or his mother's mitochondrial DNA. However, there are no known yDNA or mtDNA test-takers in his direct paternal or maternal line. It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with George:
