Hill and Davis families of Warrenton, N.C.

After 1867, the material relates to Louisa Hill Davis and her daughters; Louisburg Male Academy and Louisburg Female Academy and their successor institution, Louisburg College; and the genealogy of the Davis-Hill-Toole-King-Fuller-Long-Seawell family. The addition of October 2001 contains letters, 1933-1964, received by Ruth Jenkins, who became a member of the Fuller-Malone branch of the extended Hill and Davis family through her marriage to Edward Leigh Best.

The addition of October 2003 contains family letters; financial materials; genealogical materials; and writings, including some of poet and novelist Edwin W. Fuller, of the Fuller branch of the extended Hill and Davis family.
