Joanne, I thought I was going to be able to help you, as I have their wedding date..... but alas, it is sourced to YOU. It might be in the Book Early Edgefield Marriages by Carlee McClendon. I don't have a copy of that book, but it is in the Edgefield Library. SC did not require marriage records until somewhere between 1911 - 1915. Most of the records are found in church minutes. Little Stephens Creek Church minutes are available for interlibrary loan thru the Baptist Historical Records located at Furman University in North Greenville area, SC. I went thru them, but was not looking for the McManus or Quattlebaum names. I copied about 20 pages from the minutes, and have just looked over them. I have a little bit from 1857 but it did not contain any reference to the marriage you are seeking, but contained the baptism of my gg-grandfather. If your library has a microfilm machine, you can order the film. Here are notes that I have on Furman and the contacts. Seems like they changeds some part of their web site since I was on it last and the last part about page 1 of 1 results might be a new way to order the films. Good luck. I would be interested in the source if you find one. Baptist Historical Collections Furman University Library 3300 Poinsett Hwy.
