| description | 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. 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. |
