United States of America / Re: Looking for Barbara (Barabary), Isaac, and Deborah Cuffe (Cuffee) - ca 1730-1800

Hi,
Thank you again for your help. I took your recommendation on Mabel and spent a few hours looking for her today. I think I found the right one, but wasn't able to trace her backwards to the Cuffe family. I won't give up on that just yet.
And thank you for the reference to the Perkins' diaries. I am actually studying them, which is how I came across the Cuffe family. References to them end in 1780 except for occasional ones referring to the lot they used to live on. One of them had to have stayed in NS though because of Mabel.
As for your previous question about Barbara being enslaved, I've seen references to this on microfilm. I believe her connection to Samuel Bartlett and Stephen were referenced in a book, "Annals of Liverpool...". It's out of print and not available near me. I've sent off a request for someone to look into it. *Fingers-crossed*
I have checked Samuel Bartlett, at least what's in the Plymouth Vital Records. I've also done generic searches for him online. I learned a little, but nothing that mentions Barbara specifically. That family does have connections to Liverpool though, so that makes me think the book could be correct.
Also, thank you for your suggestion about the library in Boston. I see they can suggest sources for me, so I will get in touch with them as well. You've been very helpful.
