Person Ranger; Cuffey (fl 1759-1781); enslaved man on the Turners Hall plantation TH007 Ranger Cuffey Cuffey Rainger fl 1759-1781 enslaved man on the Turners Hall plantation Male African Barbados Barbados Cuffey was an enslaved man of African descent on the Turners Hall sugar plantation in Barbados, who first appears in the records on 31 December 1759. In 1759 he was recorded as a clayer (a potter who made the clay pots in which the sugar was formed into loaves). In 1771 he was a cane watchman; watchmen were often older people who were 'retired' from their previous work, perhaps due to infirmity. By 1781 he was described as 'old' and was still a watchman. Cuffey is an African name that would traditionally be given to a boy born on a Friday. The surname suggests that he may have been the ranger for Turners Hall plantation. Cuffey was born in Barbados. He was married to Rose and had a number of children: Peter, Quaco, Cubbenah, Philly, Betsey, Quasheba and Hannah. Improve Yes DERBYSHIRE\71010800 30/09/2023 b9163fbc-239b-4e73-988a-f774626f7104
