The George B. Marshall and Family Papers consist of tax receipts; bills of sale of slaves; bills for plantation supplies; statements for medical services to family and slaves; bills for blacksmithing and other skilled work; daybooks containing blacksmithing accounts; and post-Civil War labor contracts. Papers from 1830 to 1860 are chiefly those of William H. Cureton and his wife, Mary B. Cureton. Other materials in this collection include financial papers of John Dawson; an 1815 letter to Dawson from Reuben Kemper concerning the death of Dawson's son; and two 1863 Confederate muster rolls from Company C, First Battalion, Louisiana State Cavalry. Daybooks from the Reconstruction period contain contracts and accounts for tenant farmers and laborers. An entry for 1866 records fines imposed on Negroes for breaking the peace. These fines were set by an arbitration group composed of Negroes.
