Other achievements include the discovery of more than 100 ship wrecks off the Bermuda coast, work on the Beebe science project with National Geographic, collaboration with the University of Maryland to study gill sharks.  Following service with the Royal Navy during World War II, Teddy endeavored to make a living as a salvage diver.  He taught himself about ships, nautical history, and underwater archeology.

","There is also a large amount of material relating to Edward \"Teddy\" Bolton Tucker, an underwater explorer and treasure hunter off the coast of Bermuda. The majority of the artwork in this collection is from Catharine and Ethel Tucker of Bermuda who were aunts of Edward \"Teddy\" Tucker.  They created many landscape pieces and maintained a small store on Bermuda wher they sold their works. ","Artifacts include wooden and metal trinkets made by prisoners of war held in Bermuda during the Anglo-Boer war from 1899-1902, textiles, tintype photographs, and family heirloom jewelry. ","This series includes the papers of Edward \"Teddy\" Bolton Tucker.  They include his work as a skin diver in and around Bermuda waters.  Teddy devoted a significant amount of his professional life studying marine life and exploring wrecks off coastlines.  He is best known for discovering the Tucker cross, an emerald encrusted 22 karat gold cross, in 1955 from the Spanish galleon shipwreck the \"San Pedro\".  He sold it to the Government of Bermuda in 1959.  Unfortnately, by 1975 it was discovered that it was stolen. Because a replica was used to hide the fact that it was stolen, it is believed that a professional art theif perpetrated the crime. The artifact has never been recovered.  While much of Teddy's underwater findings and work remain in Bermuda, these papers offer insight into his boyhood, correspondence with relatives, and daily life in Bermuda.","This box contains mostly photocopies of documentation and compiled research related to Bermuda and surrounding area shiwrecks.

Kemp, a West Virginia University civil engineering professor and an internationally renowned covered bridge expert, to restore the Philippi Covered Bridge, which was severely damaged by fire in 1989. He was selected for the restoration by then Governor Gaston Caperton, who also hoped for the restoration of West Virginia's other seventeen covered bridges.  When Caperton's original plans did not come to pass, WVU Provost and Vice President of Academic Affairs and Research William E. Vehse and Dr. Kemp created the idea of an institute to oversee the restoration of the Philippi Covered Bridge and the other seventeen bridges and its funding.  \n \nConcurrent with the announced Philippi Covered Bridge restoration, a grass roots effort was begun to save the High Gate Carriage House. James E. Watson, son of pioneer coal baron James Otis Watson, built the High Gate Mansion and Carriage House in 1910-1913. In the mid-1950s, the Ross Funeral Home purchased the mansion and opened a mortuary in the house. By the late 1980s, the carriage house, formerly a nursing home, was now unused. In the spring of 1989, a national fast-food chain announced plans to purchase and demolish the High Gate Carriage House, replacing it with a drive-in restaurant. These plans were met with local opposition and led to the formation of the Friends of High Gate, a non-profit organization to save the carriage house. US Representative Alan Mollohan, who lived nearby, was interested in historic preservation, but more importantly desired to see the historic carriage house saved and preserved. The friends group received congressional aid from Mollohan's office and were able to purchase and save the property from development. \n \nAt this time, Mollohan approached Kemp about the preservation of the High Gate Carriage House property. Kemp undoubtably suggested that the High Gate Carriage House needed to be recorded to HABS Standards as one of the first steps in its preservation but would require funding. The documentation of High Gate Carriage House led to the initial federal funding of the IHTIA. \n \nThe Institute for the History of Technology and Industrial Archaeology was founded by an act of the United States Congress in 1989. Under its founding act, IHTIA was authorized to document, preserve, and interpret historically significant sites relating to the nation's industrial engineering and technology history, but it was also established as advisory group to Congress. In the late 1980s, industrial sites, such as Cambria Irons Works in Johnstown, Pennsylvania became units of the National Park Service, and many other industrial sites were being proposed. The IHTIA was created partially to advise Congress on which of these proposed parks should be included in the National Parks system. The industrial site evaluation charge was never fully realized, and IHTIA focused on its larger mission of the history of technology and industrial archaeology.  The IHTIA was part of West Virginia University's Eberly College of Arts and Sciences.\n \nAt first, IHTIA's federal funding was very strong. This funding was complimented by an abundance of sponsored research projects and the future seemed bright. By the mid-1990s, however, things began to change with Vice President Al Gore's changes to government, when the IHTIA's budget became targeted as \"wasteful federal spending.\" As a result, the IHTIA budget became part of HAER's budget. This was coupled with the Historic American Engineering Record's (HAER; a partial funding source for IHTIA) declining funding, which led to a portion of IHTIA's budget being appropriated by HAER. Following the 2001 September 11 attacks, funding dried up for Cultural Resource Management projects. During the early 2000s, the declining federal budget and the dearth of sponsored work, along with inadequate leadership, plagued IHTIA until it finally closed its doors in circa 2006.

For example, records for the Bridge Patent Survey can be found in boxes 15-18.)","Bridge Patent Survey (see boxes 15-18): This project was begun under the 1991 IHTIA work plan. During the summer of 1991, IHTIA staff amassed copies of approximately 500 American bridge patent drawings and specification spanning the years 1790-1890. As originally conceived the patent drawings and specifications would be scanned and published in a searchable CD-ROM format. This format eventually proved obsolete. Ultimately, the West Virginia University Press published the results of this survey in a 2005 monograph entitled American Bridge Patents: The First Century (1790-1890).","Trump Lilly Farm Historic Structures and Cultural Landscape Report (see boxes 24, 26-28, 56, 65/folder 1, 66/folder 26, and map cabinet 8, drawer 23): This project was sponsored research undertaken by a cooperative agreement between IHTIA and the National Park Service.  The project deliverable was the Trump Lilly Farm Historic Structures and Cultural Landscape. The report, completed to NPS standards, included the following sections: administrative data, physical history and analysis, architectural and landscape data, recommendations and appendices. The report also included ink-on-mylar measured drawings of the farm structures existing conditions and photographs, both contemporary and historic.

Kemp, a West Virginia University civil engineering professor and an internationally renowned covered bridge expert, to restore the Philippi Covered Bridge, which was severely damaged by fire in 1989. He was selected for the restoration by then Governor Gaston Caperton, who also hoped for the restoration of West Virginia's other seventeen covered bridges.  When Caperton's original plans did not come to pass, WVU Provost and Vice President of Academic Affairs and Research William E. Vehse and Dr. Kemp created the idea of an institute to oversee the restoration of the Philippi Covered Bridge and the other seventeen bridges and its funding.  \n \nConcurrent with the announced Philippi Covered Bridge restoration, a grass roots effort was begun to save the High Gate Carriage House. James E. Watson, son of pioneer coal baron James Otis Watson, built the High Gate Mansion and Carriage House in 1910-1913. In the mid-1950s, the Ross Funeral Home purchased the mansion and opened a mortuary in the house. By the late 1980s, the carriage house, formerly a nursing home, was now unused. In the spring of 1989, a national fast-food chain announced plans to purchase and demolish the High Gate Carriage House, replacing it with a drive-in restaurant. These plans were met with local opposition and led to the formation of the Friends of High Gate, a non-profit organization to save the carriage house. US Representative Alan Mollohan, who lived nearby, was interested in historic preservation, but more importantly desired to see the historic carriage house saved and preserved. The friends group received congressional aid from Mollohan's office and were able to purchase and save the property from development. \n \nAt this time, Mollohan approached Kemp about the preservation of the High Gate Carriage House property. Kemp undoubtably suggested that the High Gate Carriage House needed to be recorded to HABS Standards as one of the first steps in its preservation but would require funding. The documentation of High Gate Carriage House led to the initial federal funding of the IHTIA. \n \nThe Institute for the History of Technology and Industrial Archaeology was founded by an act of the United States Congress in 1989. Under its founding act, IHTIA was authorized to document, preserve, and interpret historically significant sites relating to the nation's industrial engineering and technology history, but it was also established as advisory group to Congress. In the late 1980s, industrial sites, such as Cambria Irons Works in Johnstown, Pennsylvania became units of the National Park Service, and many other industrial sites were being proposed. The IHTIA was created partially to advise Congress on which of these proposed parks should be included in the National Parks system. The industrial site evaluation charge was never fully realized, and IHTIA focused on its larger mission of the history of technology and industrial archaeology.  The IHTIA was part of West Virginia University's Eberly College of Arts and Sciences.\n \nAt first, IHTIA's federal funding was very strong. This funding was complimented by an abundance of sponsored research projects and the future seemed bright. By the mid-1990s, however, things began to change with Vice President Al Gore's changes to government, when the IHTIA's budget became targeted as \"wasteful federal spending.\" As a result, the IHTIA budget became part of HAER's budget. This was coupled with the Historic American Engineering Record's (HAER; a partial funding source for IHTIA) declining funding, which led to a portion of IHTIA's budget being appropriated by HAER. Following the 2001 September 11 attacks, funding dried up for Cultural Resource Management projects. During the early 2000s, the declining federal budget and the dearth of sponsored work, along with inadequate leadership, plagued IHTIA until it finally closed its doors in circa 2006. \u003c/p\u003e\n","\u003cp\u003eSources:  \nAuthors recollections.

By the mid-1990s, however, things began to change with Vice President Al Gore's changes to government, when the IHTIA's budget became targeted as \"wasteful federal spending.\" As a result, the IHTIA budget became part of HAER's budget. This was coupled with the Historic American Engineering Record's (HAER; a partial funding source for IHTIA) declining funding, which led to a portion of IHTIA's budget being appropriated by HAER. Following the 2001 September 11 attacks, funding dried up for Cultural Resource Management projects. During the early 2000s, the declining federal budget and the dearth of sponsored work, along with inadequate leadership, plagued IHTIA until it finally closed its doors in circa 2006.

The library sold them, along with many of their manuscript collections, in the 1980s. The UVA Law Library purchased the records in 1986. Many of these documents include Skene's handwritten, and often lengthy, annotations on the content and judgments for individual cases. Skene likely enlarged his own library by acquiring Session papers from other personal collections. The earliest documents in UVA's collection predate Skene's legal career and include the annotations of other Scottish jurists, such as William Craig, lawyer and judge from 1768 to 1812."],"names_coll_ssim":["Scotland.

Most of the collection is correspondence\n         among Randolph, Tucker, and Bryan family members from\n         1770-1850, representing some twenty correspondents (see\n         attached appendix).

John Randolph, Sr.\n         (1742-1775) was the scion of a successful but not notably\n         \"elite\" Virginia family. (cf. William E. Stokes, Jr.,\n         \"Randolph of Roanoke: A Virginia Portrait; The Early Career of\n         John Randolph of Roanoke, 1773-1805,\" U. Va. Doctoral\n         Dissertation, 1955, pp. 15-16.) Randolph married his second\n         cousin, Frances Bland (sister of Theodorick Bland ) in 1769,\n         and they had three children: Richard Randolph, Theodorick\n         Randolph, and John Randolph.","John Randolph, Sr., died in October, 1775, leaving his\n         young wife with three small boys to raise. She did not,\n         however, raise them alone for long. In September, 1778,\n         Frances Bland Randolph married St. George Tucker (1752-1827),\n         a native of Bermuda who had emigrated to Virginia to pursue a\n         career at the bar. Tucker and his wife inherited the Randolph\n         estates, living at Matoax. They had several children before\n         Frances Randolph Tucker died in 1788, among them Frances\n         Tucker (\"Fanny,\" b. 1779), Henry St. George Tucker (b. 1780),\n         and Nathaniel Beverly Tucker (b. 1784).","Much of the correspondence in the Bryan Papers is carried\n         on by these people, including several letters to John\n         Randolph, Sr., (for the period 1770-1774) by his friend\n         Theodorick Bland. The great majority of the Bland letters\n         discuss business matters. Most of the letters collected here\n         were penned by John Randolph, Jr., (known after 1810 as John\n         Randolph of Roanoke ) and his step-father, St. George\n         Tucker.","Every evidence in his correspondence suggests that St.\n         George Tucker was a remarkably warm and compassionate human\n         being, as well as an able lawyer, scholar, and jurist. (There\n         is no adequate biography of Tucker, but see Charles T. Cullen,\n         \"St. George Tucker and Law in Virginia, 1772-1804,\" U. Va.\n         Doctoral Dissertation, 1971.) Tucker raised a large family,\n         including his step-sons, with great solicitude and continued\n         corresponding with most of his children through his and their\n         lives. ( John Randolph of Roanoke was an exception. See\n         Accession \n          #49 , Grinnan Family Papers, 1813\n         Dec. 13, John Randolph of Roanoke to Tudor.)","Tucker's letters illuminate the early life of the brilliant\n         and erratic John Randolph of Roanoke, who served Virginia as\n         congressman and senator for nearly thirty years (1799-1813,\n         1815-1817, 1819-1829). At age nine Randolph was enrolled with\n         his older brothers in a school conducted (first in\n         Chesterfield County and then at Williamsburg ) by Walker\n         Maury, and he remained there two years (1782-1784). After\n         several years with his family, including a sojourn with the\n         Tuckers in Bermuda, Randolph was sent to Princeton grammar\n         school in 1787, and then to Columbia College, along with his\n         brother Theodorick Randolph. Several of St. George Tucker's\n         letters to his step-sons at school are preserved here,\n         including one missive admonishing Theodorick for his\n         profligacy and tendency to drunkenness (see Tucker to Theo\n         Randolph, August 30, 1789).","Most of the St. George Tucker correspondence in this\n         collection was addressed not to his Randolph step-children (or\n         to his children by Frances Bland Randolph Tucker, for that\n         matter), but to Joseph Carrington Cabell. Cabell, who in 1807\n         married Mary (Poll) Carter, the daughter of Tucker's third\n         wife, was for many years a Virginia State Senator as well as a\n         planter. Tucker's letters to him (totalling 165 in this\n         collection) bulk heavy with family talk, discussion of joint\n         business operations relating to their plantations, as well as\n         political commentary. The papers are a significant aid to any\n         student of either man's career, but particularly contribute to\n         a comprehensive picture of St. George Tucker's life and\n         thought.","Apart from family and business matters, Tucker's letters to\n         Cabell (none of Cabell's responses are preserved here) touch\n         upon such concerns as the Louisiana Purchase (Jan. 23, 1804);\n         American relations with England during the administrations of\n         Thomas Jefferson and James Madison (letters of July 30, 1807,\n         Feb. 1, 1809, Jan. 24, April 1, 1812); proposed changes in the\n         Virginia Constitution (Dec. 20, 1809, Jan. 17, 1810); various\n         reforms Tucker felt essential in Virginia (Dec. 22, 1806); the\n         utility of banks and the attitude of the legislature towards\n         banking (Jan. 3, 1812, Feb. 12, 1813, Jan. 17, 20, 24, Dec.\n         23, 1814, Jan. 30, 1817, Feb. 4, 1818); activities in the\n         Virginia legislature (Feb. 8, 12, 1813); and the War of 1812,\n         most particularly as it affected Virginia (July 9, 1812, March\n         31, April 7, 14, June 30, 1813, Jan. 2, April 4, Sept. 1, Dec.\n         9, 1814, Feb. 6, 1815).","The letters reveal Tucker's concern for improvement. As he\n         wrote to Cabell, Dec. 22, 1806, \"I heartily wish our\n         Legislators would turn their attention to the improvement of\n         our revenue; of our miserable defective judiciary system; of\n         our equally defective system of Education; and to the averting\n         from the poor the impending calamities of famine; a subject\n         more truly interesting than any Question who is right, \u0026\n         who is wrong in Congress, at present.\" They show, moreover,\n         that Tucker believed in a well regulated system of state\n         banks, and was extremely frustrated when the strict\n         construction doctrines of most Virginia legislators placed\n         obstacles in the way of such a system. The weakness this meant\n         for the state's economic development and general governmental\n         flexibility was driven home during the War of 1812, and Tucker\n         constantly harangued his friend Cabell on the subject (see\n         esp. letters of Feb. 8, 12, 1813). \"Do, for heaven's sake\n         endeavour to rouse a proper degree of exertion among those\n         members of the House of Delegates, who affect to call\n         themselves the friends of their country. PENURY at this time\n         if not worse, is full as bad as Yankee Federalism.\"","Tucker's correspondence with Joseph C. Cabell continued\n         until the year of his death, 1827, and it would appear that\n         most of it has been preserved here. These letters do not,\n         however, exhaust the Tucker materials in the Bryan Papers.\n         There is an extended correspondence with John Coalter (a\n         Tucker family tutor who eventually married Fanny Randolph\n         Tucker and entered into business with St. George Tucker ),\n         basically business oriented; seventeen letters, 1822-1826,\n         from Elizabeth Tucker Coalter Bryan (Tucker's grand-daughter)\n         to Tucker and his wife; and one letter to St. George Tucker\n         written by his grandson, St. George Coalter, describing in\n         detail his routine at the University of Virginia (letter of\n         April 16, 1826). A note in Tucker's hand at the letter's end\n         mentions that he answered very \"fully \u0026 affectionately,\"\n         and included advice to work hard and spend time with the right\n         company.","The St. George Tucker correspondence, though extensive, is\n         not the only significant element of the correspondence\n         collected here. There is, for example, a voluminous\n         correspondence of John Randolph of Roanoke (1773-1833) with\n         Randolph and Tucker family members, and members of the Bryan\n         family, with whom Randolph had become very close as a\n         consequence of his friendship with Joseph Bryan, a Georgia\n         congressman who died in 1812. Most of the letters addressed to\n         Randolph in this collection were written by his sister-in-law,\n         Judith Randolph, whose husband Richard Randolph (Randolph's\n         eldest brother) died in 1796, and who relied heavily on\n         Randolph for emotional sustenance, financial aid, and advice\n         for many years thereafter. Much of Randolph's correspondence\n         with his extended family of in-laws, nephews and nieces, and\n         with the children of his late friend Bryan, relates to family\n         matters and \"philosophy of life\" expositions. Many of these\n         missives run to considerable length.","There is a scattering of commentary relating to government\n         and politics. For example, in a letter to John Coalter (29\n         March, 1808) Randolph discussed in detail an aborted treaty of\n         amity with England. Other letters which touch on politics are\n         found in a copy book of Randolph letters to Francis Walker\n         Gilmer for 1818-1826. For example, on Jan. 12, 1821, Randolph\n         wrote to Gilmer from Washington that \"the want of ability in\n         the two houses of Congress (with one or two splendid\n         exceptions in the Senate) is ominous. I fear of the future\n         fate of our republic--both bodies abound in men of mean\n         understandings, \u0026 meaner principles \u0026 manners. It is\n         not possible to conceive of any thing worse \u0026 the H of R\n         is a bear garden at which one blushes when a stranger\n         enters--I endeavor to hold myself entirely aloof from its\n         squabbles--for it would be an irony to term them debates.\" In\n         another letter, written at Roanoke on July 22, 1821, Randolph\n         had some astringent observations on James Monroe (a former\n         political ally) and Monroe's two predecessors in the\n         Presidential office. \"Mr. J[efferson] himself did much to\n         impair the principles upon which he was brought into power,\"\n         Randolph wrote. \"But his successor gave them the\n         coup-de-grace--the recommendation of the Bank of the U. S.\n         alone was a formal renunciation of the heresies of his\n         'Report' and a reconciliation with the holy catholic church of\n         Expediency to Existing Circumstances. The present incumbent\n         came in upon no particular principles, \u0026 as he brought\n         none with him so he will carry none away with him.\" Randolph's\n         acerbic style was evident in a letter to Gilmer commenting on\n         a speech of \"Mr. C.\" (probably Henry Clay ) in March, 1824.\n         \"Yesterday,\" Randolph wrote from Washington on March 9, \"he\n         came flushed with confidence, made five\n         speeches-bad-worse-worst, most worst, worserer, \u0026\n         worserest. Had his shallow sophistry \u0026 ignorance exposed\n         in the most glaring and mortifying manner, \u0026 never did I\n         behold humiliation \u0026 shagrin [sic] more strongly portrayed\n         than in his whole countenance \u0026 manner--when he was\n         outvoted 114-66.\"","There are also scattered political comments by Randolph in\n         a long series of letters (copies) to Elizabeth Tucker Coalter\n         Bryan from 1815-1831. Most comments in these letters, however,\n         relate to family life or reflections on life and philosophical\n         matters (e.g. the \"Worldly\" v. the \"Romantic,\" in letter of\n         Nov. 20, 1825). Others talk about books (among Randolph's\n         favorites was Smollett's \n          Humphrey Clinker ), writers (\n         Henry Fielding Randolph calls \"the grossest creature\n         imaginable\"), and Randolph's past relations with his\n         correspondent's father, Joseph Bryan (letter of March 27,\n         1828). After 1827, his letters took on an increasingly\n         melancholy tone, and for long periods he functioned only\n         fitfully. See for example letters of October 10, 1828, in\n         which he said that drinking was \"my chief support,\" and Nov.\n         1, 1828, in which Randolph wrote \"I cant read, \u0026 writing\n         is very trying to me. I lie in bed as much as possible to\n         shorten the days. I breakfast about 8 dine a little after 2\n         \u0026 am abed by 7 O'clock.\" The letters often refer to death\n         and in general evince a jaundiced world view. Randolph was\n         sure that the rise of commercial spirit in America was\n         corrupting its people, and this outlook only grew more\n         pronounced in his later years. (See letters of July 27, 1825,\n         Dec. 25, 1828).","Among the last of the Randolph letters in this collection,\n         written less than a year before his death, was penned to his\n         godson, J. R. Bryan. It suggests his overall decline. \"I am\n         put into the Carriage daily \u0026 driven a mile or two but I\n         am near fainting all the time. I have to be lifted in \u0026 I\n         cannot walk or even stand without support. This morning at my\n         frugal meal of barley water \u0026 bread I had nearly fainted\n         twice from sheer debility.\" Randolph died on May 24, 1833, and\n         the collection contains a pencil scrawl of his last words, as\n         witnessed and attested by Condy Raguet of Philadelphia.","Also included in the collection is the correspondence of\n         Elizabeth Tucker Coalter Bryan for 1834-1849, and Nathaniel\n         Beverly Tucker to Elizabeth T. Bryan for the period 1825 to\n         Tucker's death in 1851. Nearly all of these deal with family\n         concerns. There are miscellaneous letters of other Tucker,\n         Randolph, and Bryan family members, and miscellany relating to\n         John Randolph of Roanoke and Nathaniel Beverly Tucker. This\n         includes a collection of anecdotes about Randolph of Roanoke;\n         newspaper clippings about the interment of Randolph's remains\n         in Hollywood Cemetary, Richmond, in 1879; a copy of the \n          Union Seminary Magazine for\n         Sept.-Oct. 1893, with \"Early Recollections of John Randolph,\"\n         and a copy of the Petersburg Virginia \n          Daily Index Appeal for 24 Feb.\n         1901, which contains an article on Randolph's mother, Frances\n         Bland Randolph. One folder contains a statement by Elizabeth\n         Tucker Bryan on Randolph of Roanoke's will. Also in the\n         collection are several prints of Randolph, his prayer book, a\n         newspaper clipping of a speech made by Nathaniel Beverly\n         Tucker at the Southern Convention held in Nashville in 1850 (a\n         firebrand speech warning the North to accept slavery expansion\n         and the equality of the Southern states or to expect\n         secession), and the Emmanuel Church Sunday School Roll Book\n         for 1918. Taken as a whole the collection provides much\n         material suggestive of plantation life and thought in Virginia\n         in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, and\n         offers insight into the lives and thought of John Randolph of\n         Roanoke, St. George Tucker, and Nathaniel Beverly Tucker.","Correspondents in the Bryan Family Papers","John Banister Theodorick Bland Elizabeth Tucker Coalter Bryan J.

John Randolph, Sr.\n         (1742-1775) was the scion of a successful but not notably\n         \"elite\" Virginia family. (cf. William E.

Randolph married his second\n         cousin, Frances Bland (sister of Theodorick Bland ) in 1769,\n         and they had three children: Richard Randolph, Theodorick\n         Randolph, and John Randolph.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eJohn Randolph, Sr., died in October, 1775, leaving his\n         young wife with three small boys to raise.

Tucker and his wife inherited the Randolph\n         estates, living at Matoax. They had several children before\n         Frances Randolph Tucker died in 1788, among them Frances\n         Tucker (\"Fanny,\" b. 1779), Henry St. George Tucker (b. 1780),\n         and Nathaniel Beverly Tucker (b. 1784).\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eMuch of the correspondence in the Bryan Papers is carried\n         on by these people, including several letters to John\n         Randolph, Sr., (for the period 1770-1774) by his friend\n         Theodorick Bland. The great majority of the Bland letters\n         discuss business matters. Most of the letters collected here\n         were penned by John Randolph, Jr., (known after 1810 as John\n         Randolph of Roanoke ) and his step-father, St. George\n         Tucker.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eEvery evidence in his correspondence suggests that St.\n         George Tucker was a remarkably warm and compassionate human\n         being, as well as an able lawyer, scholar, and jurist.

At age nine Randolph was enrolled with\n         his older brothers in a school conducted (first in\n         Chesterfield County and then at Williamsburg ) by Walker\n         Maury, and he remained there two years (1782-1784).

Cabell, who in 1807\n         married Mary (Poll) Carter, the daughter of Tucker's third\n         wife, was for many years a Virginia State Senator as well as a\n         planter.

The papers are a significant aid to any\n         student of either man's career, but particularly contribute to\n         a comprehensive picture of St. George Tucker's life and\n         thought.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eApart from family and business matters, Tucker's letters to\n         Cabell (none of Cabell's responses are preserved here) touch\n         upon such concerns as the Louisiana Purchase (Jan. 23, 1804);\n         American relations with England during the administrations of\n         Thomas Jefferson and James Madison (letters of July 30, 1807,\n         Feb. 1, 1809, Jan. 24, April 1, 1812); proposed changes in the\n         Virginia Constitution (Dec. 20, 1809, Jan. 17, 1810); various\n         reforms Tucker felt essential in Virginia (Dec. 22, 1806); the\n         utility of banks and the attitude of the legislature towards\n         banking (Jan. 3, 1812, Feb. 12, 1813, Jan. 17, 20, 24, Dec.\n         23, 1814, Jan. 30, 1817, Feb. 4, 1818); activities in the\n         Virginia legislature (Feb. 8, 12, 1813); and the War of 1812,\n         most particularly as it affected Virginia (July 9, 1812, March\n         31, April 7, 14, June 30, 1813, Jan. 2, April 4, Sept. 1, Dec.\n         9, 1814, Feb. 6, 1815).\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eThe letters reveal Tucker's concern for improvement. As he\n         wrote to Cabell, Dec. 22, 1806, \"I heartily wish our\n         Legislators would turn their attention to the improvement of\n         our revenue; of our miserable defective judiciary system; of\n         our equally defective system of Education; and to the averting\n         from the poor the impending calamities of famine; a subject\n         more truly interesting than any Question who is right, \u0026amp;\n         who is wrong in Congress, at present.\" They show, moreover,\n         that Tucker believed in a well regulated system of state\n         banks, and was extremely frustrated when the strict\n         construction doctrines of most Virginia legislators placed\n         obstacles in the way of such a system. The weakness this meant\n         for the state's economic development and general governmental\n         flexibility was driven home during the War of 1812, and Tucker\n         constantly harangued his friend Cabell on the subject (see\n         esp. letters of Feb. 8, 12, 1813). \"Do, for heaven's sake\n         endeavour to rouse a proper degree of exertion among those\n         members of the House of Delegates, who affect to call\n         themselves the friends of their country. PENURY at this time\n         if not worse, is full as bad as Yankee Federalism.\"\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eTucker's correspondence with Joseph C. Cabell continued\n         until the year of his death, 1827, and it would appear that\n         most of it has been preserved here. These letters do not,\n         however, exhaust the Tucker materials in the Bryan Papers.\n         There is an extended correspondence with John Coalter (a\n         Tucker family tutor who eventually married Fanny Randolph\n         Tucker and entered into business with St. George Tucker ),\n         basically business oriented; seventeen letters, 1822-1826,\n         from Elizabeth Tucker Coalter Bryan (Tucker's grand-daughter)\n         to Tucker and his wife; and one letter to St. George Tucker\n         written by his grandson, St. George Coalter, describing in\n         detail his routine at the University of Virginia (letter of\n         April 16, 1826). A note in Tucker's hand at the letter's end\n         mentions that he answered very \"fully \u0026amp; affectionately,\"\n         and included advice to work hard and spend time with the right\n         company.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eThe St. George Tucker correspondence, though extensive, is\n         not the only significant element of the correspondence\n         collected here. There is, for example, a voluminous\n         correspondence of John Randolph of Roanoke (1773-1833) with\n         Randolph and Tucker family members, and members of the Bryan\n         family, with whom Randolph had become very close as a\n         consequence of his friendship with Joseph Bryan, a Georgia\n         congressman who died in 1812. Most of the letters addressed to\n         Randolph in this collection were written by his sister-in-law,\n         Judith Randolph, whose husband Richard Randolph (Randolph's\n         eldest brother) died in 1796, and who relied heavily on\n         Randolph for emotional sustenance, financial aid, and advice\n         for many years thereafter. Much of Randolph's correspondence\n         with his extended family of in-laws, nephews and nieces, and\n         with the children of his late friend Bryan, relates to family\n         matters and \"philosophy of life\" expositions. Many of these\n         missives run to considerable length.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eThere is a scattering of commentary relating to government\n         and politics. For example, in a letter to John Coalter (29\n         March, 1808) Randolph discussed in detail an aborted treaty of\n         amity with England. Other letters which touch on politics are\n         found in a copy book of Randolph letters to Francis Walker\n         Gilmer for 1818-1826. For example, on Jan. 12, 1821, Randolph\n         wrote to Gilmer from Washington that \"the want of ability in\n         the two houses of Congress (with one or two splendid\n         exceptions in the Senate) is ominous. I fear of the future\n         fate of our republic--both bodies abound in men of mean\n         understandings, \u0026amp; meaner principles \u0026amp; manners. It is\n         not possible to conceive of any thing worse \u0026amp; the H of R\n         is a bear garden at which one blushes when a stranger\n         enters--I endeavor to hold myself entirely aloof from its\n         squabbles--for it would be an irony to term them debates.\" In\n         another letter, written at Roanoke on July 22, 1821, Randolph\n         had some astringent observations on James Monroe (a former\n         political ally) and Monroe's two predecessors in the\n         Presidential office. \"Mr. J[efferson] himself did much to\n         impair the principles upon which he was brought into power,\"\n         Randolph wrote. \"But his successor gave them the\n         coup-de-grace--the recommendation of the Bank of the U. S.\n         alone was a formal renunciation of the heresies of his\n         'Report' and a reconciliation with the holy catholic church of\n         Expediency to Existing Circumstances. The present incumbent\n         came in upon no particular principles, \u0026amp; as he brought\n         none with him so he will carry none away with him.\" Randolph's\n         acerbic style was evident in a letter to Gilmer commenting on\n         a speech of \"Mr. C.\" (probably Henry Clay ) in March, 1824.\n         \"Yesterday,\" Randolph wrote from Washington on March 9, \"he\n         came flushed with confidence, made five\n         speeches-bad-worse-worst, most worst, worserer, \u0026amp;\n         worserest. Had his shallow sophistry \u0026amp; ignorance exposed\n         in the most glaring and mortifying manner, \u0026amp; never did I\n         behold humiliation \u0026amp; shagrin [sic] more strongly portrayed\n         than in his whole countenance \u0026amp; manner--when he was\n         outvoted 114-66.\"\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eThere are also scattered political comments by Randolph in\n         a long series of letters (copies) to Elizabeth Tucker Coalter\n         Bryan from 1815-1831. Most comments in these letters, however,\n         relate to family life or reflections on life and philosophical\n         matters (e.g. the \"Worldly\" v. the \"Romantic,\" in letter of\n         Nov. 20, 1825). Others talk about books (among Randolph's\n         favorites was Smollett's \n         \u003ctitle type=\"simple\" render=\"italic\" href=\"\"\u003eHumphrey Clinker\u003c/title\u003e), writers (\n         Henry Fielding Randolph calls \"the grossest creature\n         imaginable\"), and Randolph's past relations with his\n         correspondent's father, Joseph Bryan (letter of March 27,\n         1828). After 1827, his letters took on an increasingly\n         melancholy tone, and for long periods he functioned only\n         fitfully. See for example letters of October 10, 1828, in\n         which he said that drinking was \"my chief support,\" and Nov.\n         1, 1828, in which Randolph wrote \"I cant read, \u0026amp; writing\n         is very trying to me. I lie in bed as much as possible to\n         shorten the days. I breakfast about 8 dine a little after 2\n         \u0026amp; am abed by 7 O'clock.\" The letters often refer to death\n         and in general evince a jaundiced world view. Randolph was\n         sure that the rise of commercial spirit in America was\n         corrupting its people, and this outlook only grew more\n         pronounced in his later years. (See letters of July 27, 1825,\n         Dec. 25, 1828).\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eAmong the last of the Randolph letters in this collection,\n         written less than a year before his death, was penned to his\n         godson, J. R. Bryan. It suggests his overall decline. \"I am\n         put into the Carriage daily \u0026amp; driven a mile or two but I\n         am near fainting all the time. I have to be lifted in \u0026amp; I\n         cannot walk or even stand without support. This morning at my\n         frugal meal of barley water \u0026amp; bread I had nearly fainted\n         twice from sheer debility.\" Randolph died on May 24, 1833, and\n         the collection contains a pencil scrawl of his last words, as\n         witnessed and attested by Condy Raguet of Philadelphia.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eAlso included in the collection is the correspondence of\n         Elizabeth Tucker Coalter Bryan for 1834-1849, and Nathaniel\n         Beverly Tucker to Elizabeth T. Bryan for the period 1825 to\n         Tucker's death in 1851. Nearly all of these deal with family\n         concerns. There are miscellaneous letters of other Tucker,\n         Randolph, and Bryan family members, and miscellany relating to\n         John Randolph of Roanoke and Nathaniel Beverly Tucker. This\n         includes a collection of anecdotes about Randolph of Roanoke;\n         newspaper clippings about the interment of Randolph's remains\n         in Hollywood Cemetary, Richmond, in 1879; a copy of the \n         \u003ctitle type=\"simple\" render=\"italic\" href=\"\"\u003eUnion Seminary Magazine\u003c/title\u003efor\n         Sept.-Oct. 1893, with \"Early Recollections of John Randolph,\"\n         and a copy of the Petersburg Virginia \n         \u003ctitle type=\"simple\" render=\"italic\" href=\"\"\u003eDaily Index Appeal\u003c/title\u003efor 24 Feb.\n         1901, which contains an article on Randolph's mother, Frances\n         Bland Randolph. One folder contains a statement by Elizabeth\n         Tucker Bryan on Randolph of Roanoke's will. Also in the\n         collection are several prints of Randolph, his prayer book, a\n         newspaper clipping of a speech made by Nathaniel Beverly\n         Tucker at the Southern Convention held in Nashville in 1850 (a\n         firebrand speech warning the North to accept slavery expansion\n         and the equality of the Southern states or to expect\n         secession), and the Emmanuel Church Sunday School Roll Book\n         for 1918. Taken as a whole the collection provides much\n         material suggestive of plantation life and thought in Virginia\n         in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, and\n         offers insight into the lives and thought of John Randolph of\n         Roanoke, St. George Tucker, and Nathaniel Beverly Tucker.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eCorrespondents in the Bryan Family Papers\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e\n        \u003clist type=\"simple\"\u003e\n          \u003citem\u003eJohn Banister\u003c/item\u003e\n          \u003citem\u003eTheodorick Bland\u003c/item\u003e\n          \u003citem\u003eElizabeth Tucker Coalter Bryan\u003c/item\u003e\n          \u003citem\u003eJ.

Most of the collection is correspondence\n         among Randolph, Tucker, and Bryan family members from\n         1770-1850, representing some twenty correspondents (see\n         attached appendix). There are also two letters from William\n         Wirt to John Coalter. Miscellany and some printed matter\n         complete the collection.","Students seeking to understand the relationships of the\n         various Randolph s, Tucker s, Coalter s, and Bryan s who are\n         represented copiously in the Bryan Papers must turn to the\n         history of the Randolph Family of Virginia. John Randolph, Sr.\n         (1742-1775) was the scion of a successful but not notably\n         \"elite\" Virginia family. (cf. William E. Stokes, Jr.,\n         \"Randolph of Roanoke: A Virginia Portrait; The Early Career of\n         John Randolph of Roanoke, 1773-1805,\" U. Va. Doctoral\n         Dissertation, 1955, pp. 15-16.) Randolph married his second\n         cousin, Frances Bland (sister of Theodorick Bland ) in 1769,\n         and they had three children: Richard Randolph, Theodorick\n         Randolph, and John Randolph.","John Randolph, Sr., died in October, 1775, leaving his\n         young wife with three small boys to raise. She did not,\n         however, raise them alone for long. In September, 1778,\n         Frances Bland Randolph married St. George Tucker (1752-1827),\n         a native of Bermuda who had emigrated to Virginia to pursue a\n         career at the bar. Tucker and his wife inherited the Randolph\n         estates, living at Matoax. They had several children before\n         Frances Randolph Tucker died in 1788, among them Frances\n         Tucker (\"Fanny,\" b. 1779), Henry St. George Tucker (b. 1780),\n         and Nathaniel Beverly Tucker (b. 1784).","Much of the correspondence in the Bryan Papers is carried\n         on by these people, including several letters to John\n         Randolph, Sr., (for the period 1770-1774) by his friend\n         Theodorick Bland. The great majority of the Bland letters\n         discuss business matters. Most of the letters collected here\n         were penned by John Randolph, Jr., (known after 1810 as John\n         Randolph of Roanoke ) and his step-father, St. George\n         Tucker.","Every evidence in his correspondence suggests that St.\n         George Tucker was a remarkably warm and compassionate human\n         being, as well as an able lawyer, scholar, and jurist. (There\n         is no adequate biography of Tucker, but see Charles T. Cullen,\n         \"St. George Tucker and Law in Virginia, 1772-1804,\" U. Va.\n         Doctoral Dissertation, 1971.) Tucker raised a large family,\n         including his step-sons, with great solicitude and continued\n         corresponding with most of his children through his and their\n         lives. ( John Randolph of Roanoke was an exception. See\n         Accession \n          #49 , Grinnan Family Papers, 1813\n         Dec. 13, John Randolph of Roanoke to Tudor.)","Tucker's letters illuminate the early life of the brilliant\n         and erratic John Randolph of Roanoke, who served Virginia as\n         congressman and senator for nearly thirty years (1799-1813,\n         1815-1817, 1819-1829). At age nine Randolph was enrolled with\n         his older brothers in a school conducted (first in\n         Chesterfield County and then at Williamsburg ) by Walker\n         Maury, and he remained there two years (1782-1784). After\n         several years with his family, including a sojourn with the\n         Tuckers in Bermuda, Randolph was sent to Princeton grammar\n         school in 1787, and then to Columbia College, along with his\n         brother Theodorick Randolph. Several of St. George Tucker's\n         letters to his step-sons at school are preserved here,\n         including one missive admonishing Theodorick for his\n         profligacy and tendency to drunkenness (see Tucker to Theo\n         Randolph, August 30, 1789).","Most of the St. George Tucker correspondence in this\n         collection was addressed not to his Randolph step-children (or\n         to his children by Frances Bland Randolph Tucker, for that\n         matter), but to Joseph Carrington Cabell. Cabell, who in 1807\n         married Mary (Poll) Carter, the daughter of Tucker's third\n         wife, was for many years a Virginia State Senator as well as a\n         planter. Tucker's letters to him (totalling 165 in this\n         collection) bulk heavy with family talk, discussion of joint\n         business operations relating to their plantations, as well as\n         political commentary. The papers are a significant aid to any\n         student of either man's career, but particularly contribute to\n         a comprehensive picture of St. George Tucker's life and\n         thought.","Apart from family and business matters, Tucker's letters to\n         Cabell (none of Cabell's responses are preserved here) touch\n         upon such concerns as the Louisiana Purchase (Jan. 23, 1804);\n         American relations with England during the administrations of\n         Thomas Jefferson and James Madison (letters of July 30, 1807,\n         Feb. 1, 1809, Jan. 24, April 1, 1812); proposed changes in the\n         Virginia Constitution (Dec. 20, 1809, Jan. 17, 1810); various\n         reforms Tucker felt essential in Virginia (Dec. 22, 1806); the\n         utility of banks and the attitude of the legislature towards\n         banking (Jan. 3, 1812, Feb. 12, 1813, Jan. 17, 20, 24, Dec.\n         23, 1814, Jan. 30, 1817, Feb. 4, 1818); activities in the\n         Virginia legislature (Feb. 8, 12, 1813); and the War of 1812,\n         most particularly as it affected Virginia (July 9, 1812, March\n         31, April 7, 14, June 30, 1813, Jan. 2, April 4, Sept. 1, Dec.\n         9, 1814, Feb. 6, 1815).","The letters reveal Tucker's concern for improvement. As he\n         wrote to Cabell, Dec. 22, 1806, \"I heartily wish our\n         Legislators would turn their attention to the improvement of\n         our revenue; of our miserable defective judiciary system; of\n         our equally defective system of Education; and to the averting\n         from the poor the impending calamities of famine; a subject\n         more truly interesting than any Question who is right, \u0026\n         who is wrong in Congress, at present.\" They show, moreover,\n         that Tucker believed in a well regulated system of state\n         banks, and was extremely frustrated when the strict\n         construction doctrines of most Virginia legislators placed\n         obstacles in the way of such a system. The weakness this meant\n         for the state's economic development and general governmental\n         flexibility was driven home during the War of 1812, and Tucker\n         constantly harangued his friend Cabell on the subject (see\n         esp. letters of Feb. 8, 12, 1813). \"Do, for heaven's sake\n         endeavour to rouse a proper degree of exertion among those\n         members of the House of Delegates, who affect to call\n         themselves the friends of their country. PENURY at this time\n         if not worse, is full as bad as Yankee Federalism.\"","Tucker's correspondence with Joseph C. Cabell continued\n         until the year of his death, 1827, and it would appear that\n         most of it has been preserved here. These letters do not,\n         however, exhaust the Tucker materials in the Bryan Papers.\n         There is an extended correspondence with John Coalter (a\n         Tucker family tutor who eventually married Fanny Randolph\n         Tucker and entered into business with St. George Tucker ),\n         basically business oriented; seventeen letters, 1822-1826,\n         from Elizabeth Tucker Coalter Bryan (Tucker's grand-daughter)\n         to Tucker and his wife; and one letter to St. George Tucker\n         written by his grandson, St. George Coalter, describing in\n         detail his routine at the University of Virginia (letter of\n         April 16, 1826). A note in Tucker's hand at the letter's end\n         mentions that he answered very \"fully \u0026 affectionately,\"\n         and included advice to work hard and spend time with the right\n         company.","The St. George Tucker correspondence, though extensive, is\n         not the only significant element of the correspondence\n         collected here. There is, for example, a voluminous\n         correspondence of John Randolph of Roanoke (1773-1833) with\n         Randolph and Tucker family members, and members of the Bryan\n         family, with whom Randolph had become very close as a\n         consequence of his friendship with Joseph Bryan, a Georgia\n         congressman who died in 1812. Most of the letters addressed to\n         Randolph in this collection were written by his sister-in-law,\n         Judith Randolph, whose husband Richard Randolph (Randolph's\n         eldest brother) died in 1796, and who relied heavily on\n         Randolph for emotional sustenance, financial aid, and advice\n         for many years thereafter. Much of Randolph's correspondence\n         with his extended family of in-laws, nephews and nieces, and\n         with the children of his late friend Bryan, relates to family\n         matters and \"philosophy of life\" expositions. Many of these\n         missives run to considerable length.","There is a scattering of commentary relating to government\n         and politics. For example, in a letter to John Coalter (29\n         March, 1808) Randolph discussed in detail an aborted treaty of\n         amity with England. Other letters which touch on politics are\n         found in a copy book of Randolph letters to Francis Walker\n         Gilmer for 1818-1826. For example, on Jan. 12, 1821, Randolph\n         wrote to Gilmer from Washington that \"the want of ability in\n         the two houses of Congress (with one or two splendid\n         exceptions in the Senate) is ominous. I fear of the future\n         fate of our republic--both bodies abound in men of mean\n         understandings, \u0026 meaner principles \u0026 manners. It is\n         not possible to conceive of any thing worse \u0026 the H of R\n         is a bear garden at which one blushes when a stranger\n         enters--I endeavor to hold myself entirely aloof from its\n         squabbles--for it would be an irony to term them debates.\" In\n         another letter, written at Roanoke on July 22, 1821, Randolph\n         had some astringent observations on James Monroe (a former\n         political ally) and Monroe's two predecessors in the\n         Presidential office. \"Mr. J[efferson] himself did much to\n         impair the principles upon which he was brought into power,\"\n         Randolph wrote. \"But his successor gave them the\n         coup-de-grace--the recommendation of the Bank of the U. S.\n         alone was a formal renunciation of the heresies of his\n         'Report' and a reconciliation with the holy catholic church of\n         Expediency to Existing Circumstances. The present incumbent\n         came in upon no particular principles, \u0026 as he brought\n         none with him so he will carry none away with him.\" Randolph's\n         acerbic style was evident in a letter to Gilmer commenting on\n         a speech of \"Mr. C.\" (probably Henry Clay ) in March, 1824.\n         \"Yesterday,\" Randolph wrote from Washington on March 9, \"he\n         came flushed with confidence, made five\n         speeches-bad-worse-worst, most worst, worserer, \u0026\n         worserest. Had his shallow sophistry \u0026 ignorance exposed\n         in the most glaring and mortifying manner, \u0026 never did I\n         behold humiliation \u0026 shagrin [sic] more strongly portrayed\n         than in his whole countenance \u0026 manner--when he was\n         outvoted 114-66.\"","There are also scattered political comments by Randolph in\n         a long series of letters (copies) to Elizabeth Tucker Coalter\n         Bryan from 1815-1831. Most comments in these letters, however,\n         relate to family life or reflections on life and philosophical\n         matters (e.g. the \"Worldly\" v. the \"Romantic,\" in letter of\n         Nov. 20, 1825). Others talk about books (among Randolph's\n         favorites was Smollett's \n          Humphrey Clinker ), writers (\n         Henry Fielding Randolph calls \"the grossest creature\n         imaginable\"), and Randolph's past relations with his\n         correspondent's father, Joseph Bryan (letter of March 27,\n         1828). After 1827, his letters took on an increasingly\n         melancholy tone, and for long periods he functioned only\n         fitfully. See for example letters of October 10, 1828, in\n         which he said that drinking was \"my chief support,\" and Nov.\n         1, 1828, in which Randolph wrote \"I cant read, \u0026 writing\n         is very trying to me. I lie in bed as much as possible to\n         shorten the days. I breakfast about 8 dine a little after 2\n         \u0026 am abed by 7 O'clock.\" The letters often refer to death\n         and in general evince a jaundiced world view. Randolph was\n         sure that the rise of commercial spirit in America was\n         corrupting its people, and this outlook only grew more\n         pronounced in his later years. (See letters of July 27, 1825,\n         Dec. 25, 1828).","Among the last of the Randolph letters in this collection,\n         written less than a year before his death, was penned to his\n         godson, J. R. Bryan. It suggests his overall decline. \"I am\n         put into the Carriage daily \u0026 driven a mile or two but I\n         am near fainting all the time. I have to be lifted in \u0026 I\n         cannot walk or even stand without support. This morning at my\n         frugal meal of barley water \u0026 bread I had nearly fainted\n         twice from sheer debility.\" Randolph died on May 24, 1833, and\n         the collection contains a pencil scrawl of his last words, as\n         witnessed and attested by Condy Raguet of Philadelphia.","Also included in the collection is the correspondence of\n         Elizabeth Tucker Coalter Bryan for 1834-1849, and Nathaniel\n         Beverly Tucker to Elizabeth T. Bryan for the period 1825 to\n         Tucker's death in 1851. Nearly all of these deal with family\n         concerns. There are miscellaneous letters of other Tucker,\n         Randolph, and Bryan family members, and miscellany relating to\n         John Randolph of Roanoke and Nathaniel Beverly Tucker. This\n         includes a collection of anecdotes about Randolph of Roanoke;\n         newspaper clippings about the interment of Randolph's remains\n         in Hollywood Cemetary, Richmond, in 1879; a copy of the \n          Union Seminary Magazine for\n         Sept.-Oct. 1893, with \"Early Recollections of John Randolph,\"\n         and a copy of the Petersburg Virginia \n          Daily Index Appeal for 24 Feb.\n         1901, which contains an article on Randolph's mother, Frances\n         Bland Randolph. One folder contains a statement by Elizabeth\n         Tucker Bryan on Randolph of Roanoke's will. Also in the\n         collection are several prints of Randolph, his prayer book, a\n         newspaper clipping of a speech made by Nathaniel Beverly\n         Tucker at the Southern Convention held in Nashville in 1850 (a\n         firebrand speech warning the North to accept slavery expansion\n         and the equality of the Southern states or to expect\n         secession), and the Emmanuel Church Sunday School Roll Book\n         for 1918. Taken as a whole the collection provides much\n         material suggestive of plantation life and thought in Virginia\n         in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, and\n         offers insight into the lives and thought of John Randolph of\n         Roanoke, St. George Tucker, and Nathaniel Beverly Tucker.","Correspondents in the Bryan Family Papers","John Banister Theodorick Bland Elizabeth Tucker Coalter Bryan J.
