File:Louisa R. Cotton (1819-1906) in the Brooklyn Eagle on September 1, 1902.png

A Descendant of Paul Cuffee. Sag Harbor, Long Island; September 1, 1902. Mrs. Louisa Cuffee of this village celebrated on Thursday the eighty-third anniversary of her birth. Mrs. Cuffee is the daughter of a full blooded Shinnecock Indian squaw. Her father was a native of France. She was born in New York City in 1819, but came to Suffolk County when 13 years of age. She married Jason Cuffee, a descendant of Paul Cuffee, the famous Indian preacher. In her veins is mingled the blood of four of the aboriginal tribes, including the Montauks, Shinnecoqks and Narragansetts. Mrs. Cuffee is remarkably well preserved, physically and mentally. She is held in high respect by the people of this village, and her birthday was observed by a large gathering of her relatives, neighbors and friends.
