Henry Eustace McCulloh (died circa 1810), resident of Edenton, N.C., was a royal official and large landholder in North Carolina. He served as his father's agent and as attorney for G. A. Selwyn, both owners of large tracts of land in North Carolina.

Edmund Fanning (1739-1818) was a lawyer and colonial official in Hillsborough, N.C. Fanning was a member of the Assembly, a judge of the Superior Court, and a militia colonel.

The collection is largely letters, 1765-1768, from Henry Eustace McCulloh to Edmund Fanning. Chief among topics are McCulloh and Selwyn lands, trips to the "back country" and difficulties with settlers there, and McCulloh's social life in North Carolina (with references to political affairs). Also included are deeds and surveyors plats, 1758-1811, other correspondence, and legal documents.
