James Parker surrendered his powder horn to William Taliaferro at the Battle of Great Bridge fought on December 9, 1775. William Taliaferro gave the powder horn to his brother Benjamin Taliaferro when he was wounded and later died after the battle of Brandywine. The powder horn and smallsword were purchased together by James Anderson from the Taliaferro Family. They were then purchased by GBBWHF leadership in 2016.
