The papers consist of copies of correspondence, a short history of the Taliaferro family, a deed, the will of Zacharias Taliaferro, receipts and an undated map of Pendleton showing landowners adjoining Taliaferro land. In the correspondence, there is a letter written ca. 1788 from Edmund Pendleton in Virginia to his nephew, Judge Henry Pendleton (for whom the town of Pendleton was named) to introduce Zachary Taliaferro "who wishes to reside and practice the law in your state." There are several letters written to Carolina Taliaferro or to members of her family regarding three young men who wish to marry her. Other correspondence is generally to and from family members regarding family illnesses, deaths, crop failure due to the weather and other family matters. The deed conveys slaves from Mr. Taliaferro to a daughter, the will of Zacharias Taliaferro bequeaths to family members slaves who are named. The receipts are mainly to Caroline Taliaferro from three general stores in Pendleton. In the correspondence there is a 1901 letter from A.S. Salley to Mrs. C.T. Nunnally regarding her inquiry about her relationship to Judge Henry Pendleton.
