The collection includes correspondence, financial and legal items, genealogical material, printed items, and other materials of the extended Hill and Davis families. Materials prior to 1867 concern the families' activities in the Methodist Church in eastern North Carolina. 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.
