Undated correspondence, miscellany, and printed\n matter are placed at the end of the collection.","The Bryan Family papers comprise ca. 645 items spanning the\n years 1770-1918. 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 Magazinefor\n Sept.-Oct. 1893, with \"Early Recollections of John Randolph,\"\n and a copy of the Petersburg Virginia \n Daily Index Appealfor 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\n Theodorick Bland\n Elizabeth Tucker Coalter Bryan\n J.

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\n ","\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\n ","\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\n ","\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\n ","\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\n ","\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\n ","\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.

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.

Series 1 contains a significant amount of correspondence written by women to male relatives and friends. An example includes the many letters written by Mary Stanton to her husband Courtland Stanton, which are found with the Courtland Stanton (DL0011) papers. Another example are the letters of Lucy Britton and Martha Britton found with the Britton Family (DL0100) papers.","- To distinguish between duplicate titles and donor accession numbers in Series 1. Secondary collections such as the papers of Amos Garrison (DL0068) and Albert R. Whitney (DL0269) contain duplicate file titles, and descriptions in the spreadsheet may allow researchers to learn more about the exact nature of the materials they contain.","- To distinguish between portraits of unknown subjects in Series 2.

Because it is an artificial collection with no original order, it was arranged into series to emphasize the provenance of collection materials and to restore materials attributed to or associated with the same individual. Provenance was determined by the archival materials themselves as well as by donor metadata. Additional resources consulted during processing included The National Park Service's online Civil War Soldiers and Sailors Database (https://www.nps.gov/civilwar/soldiers-and-sailors-database.htm); Grover C. Criswell and Clarence L. Criswell's Confederate and Southern State Currency, vol. 1, (Pass-A-Grille, Florida: Criswell's Publications, 1957); John H. Eicher and David J. Eicher's Civil War High Commands (Stanford, California: Stanford University Press, 2001); and the Library of Congress's online newspapers database (https://www.loc.gov/newspapers/).","Efforts were made to restore materials to record creators and keep these materials together. However, there are some exceptions, particularly in relation to high-profile historical figures. For example, materials relating to Robert E. Lee and William Tecumseh Sherman can be found in Series 1, 2, and 3.","File titles have been devised by the archivist and each contains a donor accession number (see note titled Alphanumeric Designations).

Additionally, the collection includes some correspondence and portraits of white women as well as a small number of portraits of Black soldiers (including PT0322, a family portrait, and a young Ben Brown, PC0836.0001) and Native American soldiers (including Frederick L.

By the age of twenty-one, Cocke was the master of over 5,500 acres of land in Surry and Fluvanna counties. A\n few years after Cocke married Anne Blaws Barraud (\"Nancy\") of Norfolk, Virginia in 1802, he sold his Surry County holdings\n and moved to a frame dwelling at Bremo Recess, Fluvanna County, and began work on a finer home, \"Bremo.\" He owned\n three large plantations along the James River, Bremo Recess, Upper Bremo, and Lower Bremo, each containing over a thousand\n acres of land. During the War of 1812, Cocke served in the Virginia militia, rising from captain to brigadier general in\n eighteen months. His first wife, Anne Blaws Barraud Cocke (1785-1816) did not live to see the completion of \"Bremo\" in\n 1820, but Cocke and his second wife, Louisa Maxwell Holmes (m. 1821), lived there until their deaths.","Other milestones in the life of John Hartwell Cocke include his elections as Vice-President of the Virginia Temperance\n Society in 1830 and as President in 1834; his election as President of the United States Temperance Union in 1836; his\n membership on the University of Virginia Board of Visitors from its inception as Central College in 1819 until 1852;\n membership on the Virginia Board of Public Works, 1823-1829; his primary role in the founding of the Agricultural Society\n of Albemarle in 1817; and service on the James River and Kanawha Canal Company Board of Directors. John Hartwell Cocke\n was greatly troubled by the issue of slavery, and he concentrated his time and money in promoting the American\n Colonization Society, and preparing his slaves for gradual emancipation through vocational training and teaching them to\n read and write.","The papers of the Cocke family of Fluvanna County, Virginia, and related Barraud family, Faulcon family, and\n other families, consist of ca. 25,000 items, (194 Hollinger boxes, ca. 64.5 linear shelf feet), 1725- 1939, and contains\n correspondence, legal and financial papers, diaries of John Hartwell Cocke, Louisa Maxwell Holmes Cocke, and Lucy Cocke,\n minutes of the Board of Visitors of the University ofVirginia, diagrams and sketches concerning the University,\n bound volumes, sketches and drawings, college and school notes, poetry, orations and speeches, essays, genealogy, and\n lists pertaining to agriculture, music and other subjects.","Major topics covered by the collection include: the development of agriculture in Virginia, merino sheep, horse\n breeding and purchases, slavery, the American Colonization Society, temperance movement, other religious and reform\n groups, book dealers, religion, the War of 1812, the Civil War, public education (including the Bremo Seminary), the\n founding and development of the University of Virginia and public improvements.

Items with no ostensible order have been organized with similar materials. Folders, with some exceptions, are arranged alphabetically within each series and their contents chronologically. Throughout the collection Robinson is occasionally addressed as \"ALR,\" \"Armstead Robinson,\" \"Armstead L. Robinson,\" \"Prof. Robinson,\" \"Robbie\" or \"Robby.\" Some folders abbreviate Robinson's name as \"ALR,\" particularly in Series 5; his Bitter Fruits of Bondage folders are occasionally abbreviated as \"BFOB. The collection is arranged in six series:","Series 1: Correspondence, 1967-1995 (0.5 c.f., Box 1). This series consists of the bulk of Robinson's general correspondence, 1967-1995, but researchers should note that other correspondence is available throughout Series 2, 3, 4 and 5. Letters of interest include a letter of Whitney Moore Young Jr. of the National Urban League, promising assistance to Robinson, August 18, 1969. Much of Robinson's 1971 correspondence, while an assistant professor of Black Studies at State University of New York at Stony Brook, consists of his research inquiries relating to Black life in Memphis, Tennessee; there are also references to an accident he suffered, December 7 and 15, 1971. There are several interesting letters during the 1980s (however, researchers should note the absence of 1982, 1988 and 1989 letters in the general \"Correspondence\" folders), especially Robinson's letter of resignation from the University of California at Los Angeles, May 13, 1980; many of his May 1980 letters pertain to his University of Virginia faculty appointment. Also of interest: a March 26, 1981 letter from Robinson to John Wilkinson, Alumni Affairs Development, Yale University, seeking financial assistance for the daughter of University of Virginia faculty colleague Vivian V. Gordon; November 23, 1981, to the Rector of the Board of Visitors, Virginia Commonwealth University, expressing opposition to the proposed consolidation of its library system with the school's Visual Education Services; December 9, 1981, to the editor of The Harvard Magazine, describing Robinson's role in the establishment of a Black Studies program at Yale University; March 1984 correspondence with Molefi Kete Asante (founder of Afrocentricity and a Black Studies proponent) accusing Robinson of falsely claiming to have been founding director of the Center for Afro-American Studies at the University of California at Los Angeles.","Series 2: Academic Career, 1964-1969 (4.5 c.f., Boxes 1-5). This series is concerned with Robinson's academic career and is divided into four subseries; there is some chronological and historical overlap among the folders.\nSubseries A: Yale University (Boxes 1-3) chiefly concerns Robinson's work with the Black Student Alliance at Yale (BSAY), its 1968 symposium \"Black Studies in the University,\" and seven audiotape reel recordings of the symposium's proceedings later transcribed, published and edited by Robinson and others as Black Studies in the University: A Symposium (New Haven: Yale University Press, 1969). Symposium participants included McGeorge Bundy; Lawrence Chisolm; Harold Cruse; Robert Dahl; Nathan Hare; Ron \"Maulana\" Karenga; Martin Kilson, Jr.; Sidney W. Mintz; Boniface I. Obichere; Donald Ogilvie; Alvin Poussaint; Edwin S. Redkey; Charles Henry Taylor, Jr.; Farris Thompson, and Gerald A. McWorter.\nSubseries B: State University of New York (Box 4) is concerned with Robinson's faculty career and early interest in Black Studies. \nSubseries C: University of California at Los Angeles and the University of Rochester, New York (Box 4)includes Robinson's UCLA class lecture notes and papers while a Rochester doctoral student. \nSubseries D: University of Virginia (Boxes 4-5)represents the longest and final phase of Robinson's academic career. Included are lecture notes, syllabi, course evaluations, and various topical and subject files including folders for colleagues Matthew W. Holden Jr., Nathan A. Scott, Jr., and Jeanne Maddox Toungara; the Carter G. Woodson Institute for Afro-American and African Studies (researchers should note that the majority of the Woodson Institute's papers, including those during Robinson's tenure, are retained there and may not yet be available for public research); the Corcoran Department of History (with correspondence and memoranda of Edward L. Ayers and Edwin E. Floyd concerning Robinson's appointment and tenure); the Venable Lane Burial Site Task Force/Catherine \"Kitty\" Foster Homesite (a university committee Robinson co-chaired); the Office of Afro-American Affairs (1986 letters to University of Virginia president Robert O'Neil in defense of OAAA dean Paul L. Puryear and critical of the handling of his resignation as dean and the controversy surrounding it), and, the transcribed remarks of F. (Frederick) Palmer Weber (labor and civil rights activist.","Series 3: Subject and Topical Files (Boxes 5-11) consists of alphabetized subject and topical folders of select individuals followed by those of organizations and groups. Among the prominent correspondents (Boxes 5-7): Herbert Aptheker, Ira Berlin, LaWanda F. Cox, Stanley L. Engerman, Michael W. Fitzgerald, John Hope Franklin, Eugene D.

(His extensive census research is filed at the end of this series). The majority of nineteenth century material are photocopies. Folders are arranged alphabetically, and several contain materials cited in Bitter Fruits of Bondage. Folders of interest include: \"First Africans in Virginia (Jamestown)\" (Box 11); \"Memphis Social History Project/Memphis Leadership Project\" (Robinson's letter of June 17, 1977 describes this project as having been conceived by him in 1966, while a junior at Yale, as a history of the Black community in Memphis) (Box 12); \"Research Material: Reconstruction: Black Political Leaders in Memphis, Tennessee (city directory and census data)\" (Box 14).Census materials comprise the latter part of Series IV, and at twelve boxes are the largest groups of materials in the series and the collection (Boxes 20-32).","Series 5: Writings and Publications (Boxes 32-42)the collection's second largest series, contains Robinson's writings, publications and manuscripts of his Yale honors' thesis, University of Rochester dissertation \"Day of Jubilo\" [formerly \"Cotton, Contrabands, and Mr. Lincoln's War\"], Bitter Fruits of Bondage (Boxes 32-38), articles, book reviews, public and conference lectures. These folders are arranged alphabetically by title and chronologically within title headings. Some of Robinson's manuscripts were critiqued on his behalf by colleagues and fellow historians such as Ira Berlin, Edward L. Ayers, Michael F. Holt, Michael Johnson, Julie S. Jones, Theresa M. Towner, and Bell Irvin Wiley.","Series 6: Oversize (Oversize Box U-10) is the last for the collection.

He attended segregated New Orleans public schools (Trinity Lutheran Elementary and Rivers Frederick Junior High), and Hamilton High School in Memphis, Tennessee, from which he graduated with honors in 1964.","Robinson enrolled at Yale University in 1964 as one of eighteen African-American men (out of 1,061 men admitted that year) and received a bachelor's degree in History and graduated with honors and distinction in 1969 for his Scholar of the House thesis, \"In the Aftermath of Slavery: Blacks and Reconstruction in Memphis and Shelby County, Tennessee, 1865-1870.\" As a Yale student Robinson helped create an undergraduate Black Studies program culminating in a 1968 symposium, \"Black Studies in the University,\" and co-edited the conference anthology, Black Studies in the University; A Symposium (Yale University Press, 1969), one of the first books on Black Studies. This experience led to his lifelong interest in promoting Black Studies. While at Yale, Robinson began his teaching career with a lecture series on Black History for the New Haven, Connecticut public school system as well as elementary school day sessions and junior high school evening sessions during 1966-1968.","Robinson was a member of the dean's list (1967-1969), captain of Yale's ROTC Rifle Team (1966-1968), recipient of the 1968 Von Snidren Prize for book collecting, and a member of the Black Student Alliance at Yale (BSAY). As an alumnus he served on the Yale Development Board (1983-1988), the Association of Yale Alumni Board of Governors (1981-1986), and the Yale University Council (1977-1995), of which he served as president during 1981-1986. In 1987 he was the recipient of the Yale Medal for Distinguished Service, his alma mater's highest alumni honor.","Robinson briefly attended Yale Divinity School (1968-1970) before withdrawing to become a visiting professor at Southern Illinois University, in Carbondale, Illinois (1970), an assistant professor of Africana Studies at the State University of New York, SUNY-Stony Brook, and assistant professor of Africana and Afro-American Studies, SUNY Brockport (1970-1973). Later, Robinson was a visiting scholar or professor of history at the National Humanities Center (Research Triangle Park, North Carolina), Southwestern at Memphis [now Rhodes College], and Smith College, Massachusetts (Box 10), and the University of Richmond (Box 11).","It is unknown exactly when and why Robinson decided to become a Civil War historian. While an assistant history professor at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), 1973-1980), he began work on his dissertation at the University of Rochester, New York, where he was mentored by two of America's leading historians, Stanley L. Engerman and Eugene D. Genovese. Genovese was among the scholars who early recognized Robinson's talents as a historian. In his seminal study Roll, Jordan, Roll: The World The Slaves Made (1974), Genovese cited Robinson's thesis (pp. 700n26 and 725n4) as \"'In the Aftermath of Slavery: Blacks and Reconstruction in Memphis, Tennessee, 1865-1870,' unpubl. undergraduate thesis, Yale University, 1969\" (Boxes 5, 6, 15-16, 40-41).","Robinson received a Doctorate of Philosophy with Honors from the University of Rochester in 1977 for his dissertation \"Day of Jubilo: Civil War and the Demise of Slavery in the Mississippi Valley, 1861-1865.\" In 1980 he joined the University of Virginia faculty as an associate professor in the Corcoran Department of History and was also appointed the first director of the Carter G. Woodson Institute for Afro-American and African Studies; as director he was the general editor of the Carter G. Woodson Series in Black Studies published by the University Press of Virginia and retained these positions until his death. In a June 25, 1980 letter to James T. McIntosh, editor of the Papers of Jefferson Davis, Robinson noted the racial and cultural significance of his Virginia appointment: \"I am happier than I can possibly express to be able to return home to the south, particularly at UVA where I am scheduled to teach . . . I am indeed excited about the day when a southern black can teach southern and Civil War/Reconstruction history at a major southern university\" (folder \"Papers of Jefferson Davis,\" Box 12).","He served on numerous university committees during his career. At the University of California, Los Angeles, he was a member of: the Faculty Senate (1975-1979); the American Field Written Comprehensive Examination Committee (1976-1979; chairman, 1977-1979), and, the Fellowships Committee, Center for Afro-American Studies (1975-1980; chairman, 1977-1980).

He was survived by his wife Mildred and their daughter Allison; his mother Ruth Robinson; his sisters DeWittress Taylor and Miriam Elmore and a brother, Llewlyn Robinson; two stepchildren, and a host of nieces, nephews and relatives. After a funeral on September 5, 1995, Robinson was interred at Cross of Cavalry Lutheran Church Cemetery in Memphis, Tennessee. A two-hour memorial \"Service of Thanksgiving,\" attended by nearly 500 colleagues, family and friends, was held on September 29, 1995 at the University of Virginia's Old Cabell Hall auditorium.

A two-hour memorial \"Service of Thanksgiving,\" attended by nearly 500 colleagues, family and friends, was held on September 29, 1995 at the University of Virginia's Old Cabell Hall auditorium. The Armstead L. Robinson Fellowship Fund was established at the Carter G. Woodson Institute for Afro-American and African Studies in his memory.\u003c/p\u003e\n "],"bioghist_heading_ssm":["Biographical Note"],"bioghist_tesim":["Armstead Louis Robinson was born on April 30, 1947 in New Orleans, Louisiana, the son of Reverend Dr. DeWitt Robinson (a Lutheran clergyman) and Ruth Dickinson Robinson. He attended segregated New Orleans public schools (Trinity Lutheran Elementary and Rivers Frederick Junior High), and Hamilton High School in Memphis, Tennessee, from which he graduated with honors in 1964.","Robinson enrolled at Yale University in 1964 as one of eighteen African-American men (out of 1,061 men admitted that year) and received a bachelor's degree in History and graduated with honors and distinction in 1969 for his Scholar of the House thesis, \"In the Aftermath of Slavery: Blacks and Reconstruction in Memphis and Shelby County, Tennessee, 1865-1870.\" As a Yale student Robinson helped create an undergraduate Black Studies program culminating in a 1968 symposium, \"Black Studies in the University,\" and co-edited the conference anthology, Black Studies in the University; A Symposium (Yale University Press, 1969), one of the first books on Black Studies. This experience led to his lifelong interest in promoting Black Studies. While at Yale, Robinson began his teaching career with a lecture series on Black History for the New Haven, Connecticut public school system as well as elementary school day sessions and junior high school evening sessions during 1966-1968.","Robinson was a member of the dean's list (1967-1969), captain of Yale's ROTC Rifle Team (1966-1968), recipient of the 1968 Von Snidren Prize for book collecting, and a member of the Black Student Alliance at Yale (BSAY). As an alumnus he served on the Yale Development Board (1983-1988), the Association of Yale Alumni Board of Governors (1981-1986), and the Yale University Council (1977-1995), of which he served as president during 1981-1986. In 1987 he was the recipient of the Yale Medal for Distinguished Service, his alma mater's highest alumni honor.","Robinson briefly attended Yale Divinity School (1968-1970) before withdrawing to become a visiting professor at Southern Illinois University, in Carbondale, Illinois (1970), an assistant professor of Africana Studies at the State University of New York, SUNY-Stony Brook, and assistant professor of Africana and Afro-American Studies, SUNY Brockport (1970-1973). Later, Robinson was a visiting scholar or professor of history at the National Humanities Center (Research Triangle Park, North Carolina), Southwestern at Memphis [now Rhodes College], and Smith College, Massachusetts (Box 10), and the University of Richmond (Box 11).","It is unknown exactly when and why Robinson decided to become a Civil War historian. While an assistant history professor at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), 1973-1980), he began work on his dissertation at the University of Rochester, New York, where he was mentored by two of America's leading historians, Stanley L. Engerman and Eugene D. Genovese. Genovese was among the scholars who early recognized Robinson's talents as a historian. In his seminal study Roll, Jordan, Roll: The World The Slaves Made (1974), Genovese cited Robinson's thesis (pp. 700n26 and 725n4) as \"'In the Aftermath of Slavery: Blacks and Reconstruction in Memphis, Tennessee, 1865-1870,' unpubl. undergraduate thesis, Yale University, 1969\" (Boxes 5, 6, 15-16, 40-41).","Robinson received a Doctorate of Philosophy with Honors from the University of Rochester in 1977 for his dissertation \"Day of Jubilo: Civil War and the Demise of Slavery in the Mississippi Valley, 1861-1865.\" In 1980 he joined the University of Virginia faculty as an associate professor in the Corcoran Department of History and was also appointed the first director of the Carter G. Woodson Institute for Afro-American and African Studies; as director he was the general editor of the Carter G. Woodson Series in Black Studies published by the University Press of Virginia and retained these positions until his death. In a June 25, 1980 letter to James T. McIntosh, editor of the Papers of Jefferson Davis, Robinson noted the racial and cultural significance of his Virginia appointment: \"I am happier than I can possibly express to be able to return home to the south, particularly at UVA where I am scheduled to teach . . . I am indeed excited about the day when a southern black can teach southern and Civil War/Reconstruction history at a major southern university\" (folder \"Papers of Jefferson Davis,\" Box 12).","He served on numerous university committees during his career. At the University of California, Los Angeles, he was a member of: the Faculty Senate (1975-1979); the American Field Written Comprehensive Examination Committee (1976-1979; chairman, 1977-1979), and, the Fellowships Committee, Center for Afro-American Studies (1975-1980; chairman, 1977-1980). While at the University of Virginia he was a member of the Faculty Steering Committee for Major in Afro-American and African Studies (1980-1995); the Faculty Senate (1981-1984; 1987-1990); the Afro-American Faculty-Staff Forum (1982-1984); the Presidential Advisory Committee on Equal Employment Opportunity and Affirmative Action (1992-1995), and co-chairman, Venable Lane Burial Site Task Force/Catherine \"Kitty\" Foster Homesite (1993-1995). Other notable committee service consisted of the Planning Committee, Booker T. Washington Commemoration, Booker T. Washington National Monument (1983-1984); the Jefferson Davis Book Award Committee (1989-1991; chairman, 1991); the Abraham Lincoln Prize National Advisory Committee (1990-1995); the Afro-American Studies Advisory Committee, Princeton University (1991-1995), and the James Monroe Papers Advisory Board at Ash Lawn-Highland (1992-1997).","Robinson received numerous awards and scholarly recognitions including the Ford Foundation Fund for Distinguished Black Scholars (1971); the UCLA Faculty Career Development Award (1979-1980); the Carter G. Woodson Award, Journal of Negro History (1981); Fellow at the National Humanities and National Research Council (1984-1985); Jefferson Davis Memorial Lecturer, Museum of the Confederacy, Richmond, Virginia (1990); William Allan Neilson Research Professor, Smith College (1991-1992); Louis P. Gottschalk Memorial Lecturer, University of Louisville (1994), and the Jessie Ball DuPont Visiting Professor, University of Richmond (1994-1995). The Virginia State Library Board of Trustees issued a 1990 resolution of thanks for his service during 1984-1989 while a member of its board of trustees, and Robinson was declared an honorary citizen of Natchez, Mississippi in 1994. He was a member of several scholarly organizations including the American Historical Association, the American Studies Association, the Association for the Study of Afro-American Life and History, the Organization of American Historians, and the Southern Historical Association.","Robinson published extensively. He co-edited Black Studies in the University: A Symposium (1969) [Boxes 1-2]; The African Religious Tradition: Historiography (Associated Publishers, 1987), and New Directions in Civil Rights Studies (University Press of Virginia, 1991). His posthumous magnum opus, Bitter Fruits of Bondage: The Demise of Slavery and the Collapse of the Confederacy, 1861-1865 (University of Virginia Press, 2005), was nationally acclaimed (Boxes 32-38). The author of several articles, essays and book reviews, Robinson's most significant articles include: \"In the Shadow of Old John Brown: Insurrection Anxiety and Confederate Mobilization, 1861-1863,\" Journal of Negro History (Fall 1980) [Box 41]; \"Beyond the Realm of Social Consensus: New Meanings of Reconstruction for American History,\" The Journal of American History (September 1981) [Box 32], and, \"Reassessing the First Reconstruction: Lost Opportunity or Tragic Era,\" Reviews in American History, (March 1978) [Box 42]. He also wrote the foreword to Calder Loth's Virginia Landmarks of Black History: Sites on the Virginia Landmarks Register and the National Register of Historic Places (University Press of Virginia, 1995) [Box 42].","Robinson married Mildred (Wigfall) Ravenell, a University of Virginia law professor, at the university's Colonnade Club in 1987. He died of complications from a brain aneurysm at the University of Virginia Medical Center, Charlottesville, on August 28, 1995, at the age of forty-eight. He was survived by his wife Mildred and their daughter Allison; his mother Ruth Robinson; his sisters DeWittress Taylor and Miriam Elmore and a brother, Llewlyn Robinson; two stepchildren, and a host of nieces, nephews and relatives.

In his early plans, Jefferson recommended the creation of a School of Anatomy and Medicine with a rigorous academic model, where students could attain medical education in nine months, a term that was twice as long as many schools at the time. Students would read, attend lectures, and watch demonstrations, but there would be few opportunities for them to work firsthand with patients, because there was no teaching hospital in Charlottesville. When the University opened its doors to students in 1825, Dr. Robley Dunglison taught all of the classes offered by the School of Anatomy and Medicine. Beginning in 1827, medical classes were held in the Anatomical Theatre, a building designed by Jefferson (though completed after his death) to accomodate a space for anatomical dissections. The study of anatomy was an important piece of early medical education; however, there was no systematic way for medical schools to obtain bodies for dissection prior to the Virginia Anatomical Act of 1884, and so cadavers were frequently procured through illegal and unethical means. Often this involved body snatching from local graves, most commonly those found in cemeteries of Virginia's slave, free black, and poor white populations.","Dunglison remained at UVA until 1833, and during that time he persuaded the UVA Board of Visitors to hire additional faculty for his medical department. In the mid-19th century, the UVA medical school was known for providing a good theoretical education. Academic activities were largely stagnant during the years of the Civil War, when Professor of Anatomy and Surgery James L. Cabell oversaw a Confederate military hospital erected in part on the Grounds of UVA, and later when Charlottesville was occupied by Union troops at the end of the war. In the decades after the Civil War, a period of biomedical revolution began to redefine the practice of medicine. In response, UVA initiated educational reforms to its medical curriculum, gradually lengthening the degree program to four years by the end of the 19th century, and introducing coursework in new fields like bacteriology and histology. In order to create increasingly important clinical opportunities for students, UVA committed to building its own facilities, including a dispensary for out-patient care in 1892 and finally a hospital, which opened in 1901. While science and medicine had entered a period of dramatic revolution, social systems were less inclined to evolve, and access to medical education at UVA remained restricted for many members of the population.","In the early 20th century, the University of Virginia was transforming into a modern university, dedicated to both education and research. At the center of this change were UVA's health sciences programs. The University invested heavily in the School of Medicine, increasing the number of faculty in order to support emerging medical specialties and a new research mission. This period was also marked by the culmination of a fierce debate over the dual existence of state-supported medical programs in both Charlottesville and Richmond, VA. In 1921, a state-appointed commission recommended the relocation of the UVA School of Medicine to Richmond. UVA mobilized alumni and recruited political allies in order to wage a fierce campaign for the preservation of its medical program. They were ultimately successful, with the General Assembly deciding in favor of UVA. The period that followed was marked by continued expansion to the University's academic medical center, including greater specialization across the field of medicine and an increase of students, faculty, and associated personnel throughout the health sciences programs.","Also of note during this time, in 1920 a resolution of the UVA Board of Visitors agreed to admit women into graduate and professional degree programs at UVA. The first woman to graduate from the School of Medicine, Sarah Ruth Dean, a transfer student, did so in 1922. In 1924, Lila Morse Bonner became the second woman to graduate from the School of Medicine and the first to attend all four years of medical school at UVA.","By the 1940s, public confidence in the health professions was strong among much of the U.S. public. After World War II, there was broad support for wider investment in academic medical centers. At UVA, federal grants were used to build new facilities, including the construction of a multi-story hospital tower. However, also at this time, access to education, employment opportunities, and health care at UVA continued to be unequal. With the rise of the Civil Rights movement, a combination of factors including, community activism, federal legislation, and court rulings compelled the University to start removing barriers to access. In 1953, Edward Bertram Nash and Edward Thomas Wood became the first two African Americans to be admitted to the UVA School of Medicine. Both went on to graduate in 1957.","Throughout the second half of the 20th century, the UVA health system continued to expand. A new medical education building was dedicated in 1972. (Originally named for Harvey E. Jordan, a former Dean of the School of Medicine and known proponent of eugenics; the building was renamed in honor of Dr. Vivian W. Pinn in 2016). This era of expansion also saw the opening of a nursing education building, health sciences library, primary care center, and finally, in 1989, a massive new hospital building. The 1980s and 1990s also saw efforts at the School of Medicine to increase access to the health professions among under-represented groups, including women and people of color.","Rapid developments in the health sciences continued to demand new facilities for research and education. The Claude Moore Medical Education Building opened as the new central location for the School of Medicine in 2010. Also in 2010, the School of Medicine launched a four college system, designed to preserve close student-faculty relationships and maintain a high-quality student experience while accommodating increased medical class size and a revised curriculum. Ten years later, the School of Medicine embraced further expansions with the launch of its Inova Campus in Northern Virginia, which provides clerkship opportunities for some upperclass medical students. The first cohort to spend their third and fourth years of medical school at the Northern Virginia campus arrived there in 2021.","*Note about naming conventions: Briefly known as the \"School of Anatomy and Medicine\" (1825-1827), the name \"School of Medicine\" was adopted by the Board of Visitors in July 1827. However, shortly later the name \"Department of Medicine\" came to be used (though some records still refer to the institution as \"School of Medicine\"). By the 1950s, the preferred name was again \"School of Medicine\".","Deans of the UVA School of Medicine","Richard Henry Whitehead, MD, 1905-1916\nTheodore Hough, PhD, [Acting Dean: 1916-1917], 1917-1924\nJames Caroll Flippin, MD, [Acting Dean: 1925-1927] 1927-1939\nHarvey Ernest Jordan, PhD, 1939-1949\nVernon W.

In his early plans, Jefferson recommended the creation of a School of Anatomy and Medicine with a rigorous academic model, where students could attain medical education in nine months, a term that was twice as long as many schools at the time. Students would read, attend lectures, and watch demonstrations, but there would be few opportunities for them to work firsthand with patients, because there was no teaching hospital in Charlottesville. When the University opened its doors to students in 1825, Dr. Robley Dunglison taught all of the classes offered by the School of Anatomy and Medicine. Beginning in 1827, medical classes were held in the Anatomical Theatre, a building designed by Jefferson (though completed after his death) to accomodate a space for anatomical dissections. The study of anatomy was an important piece of early medical education; however, there was no systematic way for medical schools to obtain bodies for dissection prior to the Virginia Anatomical Act of 1884, and so cadavers were frequently procured through illegal and unethical means. Often this involved body snatching from local graves, most commonly those found in cemeteries of Virginia's slave, free black, and poor white populations. \n\u003cbr\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n","\u003cbr\u003e","\u003cp\u003e\nDunglison remained at UVA until 1833, and during that time he persuaded the UVA Board of Visitors to hire additional faculty for his medical department.

Academic activities were largely stagnant during the years of the Civil War, when Professor of Anatomy and Surgery James L. Cabell oversaw a Confederate military hospital erected in part on the Grounds of UVA, and later when Charlottesville was occupied by Union troops at the end of the war. In the decades after the Civil War, a period of biomedical revolution began to redefine the practice of medicine. In response, UVA initiated educational reforms to its medical curriculum, gradually lengthening the degree program to four years by the end of the 19th century, and introducing coursework in new fields like bacteriology and histology. In order to create increasingly important clinical opportunities for students, UVA committed to building its own facilities, including a dispensary for out-patient care in 1892 and finally a hospital, which opened in 1901. While science and medicine had entered a period of dramatic revolution, social systems were less inclined to evolve, and access to medical education at UVA remained restricted for many members of the population.\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n","\u003cbr\u003e","\u003cp\u003e\nIn the early 20th century, the University of Virginia was transforming into a modern university, dedicated to both education and research.

This period was also marked by the culmination of a fierce debate over the dual existence of state-supported medical programs in both Charlottesville and Richmond, VA.
