There are also newspaper clippings about Elmore; memoirs and reminiscences of his daughter, Sally Canty (Elmore) Taylor, describing her experiences in Washington, D.C., in the 1830s, in Charleston, S.C., in the 1840s, and in Columbia, S.C., from the late 1850s through Reconstruction; genealogical information on the Elmore and the related Marshall, Martin, Nesbitt, and Taylor families; and copies of Elmore family documents held by the South Caroliniana Library at the University of South Carolina.
