About: In 1786, Cuffee, a recently freed African American man, married Rebecca Daverson. Like many newly freed people, they chose to stay in the area that was familiar. General Whipple's widow loaned them a lot at the back corner of her garden. They moved a small house onto it and raised their families there.
