Papers chiefly consist of documents pertaining to family plantations and properties including plats, slave records, accounts, correspondence, legal documents, and property records. In addition, there are estate papers, genealogical materials, photographs, family correspondence, and other items. Plats (1729-1841) are mostly those of Glover family lands in Colleton County, but also in Orangeburg County and elsewhere, including plats of Grove Hall Plantation. An index of family land holdings in South Carolina (1729-1844) is included. Papers of Joseph Glover (1778-1840) consist of correspondence with Jane Sinkler Glover and others regarding family and plantation matters, the sale of land and slaves, a dispute over work on the Jacksonboro Neck road, canals, and other concerns; accounts; lists of slaves; and other items. Also included are the papers of Joseph Glover (1754-1806), Jane S. Glover, Francis Y. Glover, and other family members. These consist of accounts, leases, court records, wills, bonds, mortgages, bills of sale, conveyances, marriage settlements, certificates, receipts, indentures, class cards of Joseph Glover (1778-1840), estate papers of Joseph Glover (1778-1840), and correspondence. Papers (1843-1904) of Henry C. Glover consist of documents pertaining to a estate dispute between Henry C. Glover (executor of the estate of Jane S. Glover) and Alfred J. Lemacks, including court briefs, receipts, and letters; legal documents and letters concerning the will of Peter Sinkler (father of Jane Sinkler Glover); and letters and other materials regarding Glover's request to cut a canal through land belonging to Ann Creighton. Genealogical materials (ca. 1860-ca. 1955) include notebooks containing copies of epitaphs and wills, copies of Bible records of family births, deaths, and marriages, manuscripts of a family history by William L. Glover, and other items.
