The Quarles family was prominent in colonial King William County, Virginia, which lies between the Pamunkey and Mattaponi Rivers -- the land known as Pamunkey Neck. The family expanded northwestward into Caroline and Spotsylvania Counties and also owned considerable land in Amelia County, 70 miles to the southwest. Unfortunately, the early history of the family is difficult to unravel, because nearly all the early records of King William County have been destroyed.
