The series spans genealogical material, introductory material, poems, autographical material and John Coalter's correspondence until the death of his first wife, Maria Rind. The record of the gift of the collection, genealogical charts of the Tucker, Coalter, Tomlin and Brown families, and sundry genealogical notes which form a preface to the collection, are placed at the beginning of this box. The collection begins with 54 poems, the first of which is signed by St. George Tucker. Two signed poems by William Munford are included. The largest group of poems are those exchanged by John Coalter and Maria Rind, his first wife. Others were collected in the family papers until the middle or the latter part of the nineteenth century. The bulk of the material in Box 1 concerns John Coalter: an autobiographical sketch written by him on his 18th birthday, and letters covering the period of his early life from 1787, when he went to live with the St. George Tucker family, until the death of his first wife in 1793. Interesting letters from John Munford, a classmate of Coalter, are included, several of which concern the College of William and Mary and Harvard College. 221 items.

15 items (includes indenture contracts [1837, 1839, 1846] for land in Monroe County, Virginia.)

Material in this sub-series was originally processed into legacy collection MS-68: University of Virginia Health System Marketing Communications records. These materials were processed prior to the use of ArchivesSpace and the use of RG-17-2 classifications. Because of their significant quantity, materials have been left according to their previous arrangement, which may differ from other content in the Photographs and negatives series.
