Caption on back of photograph reads: This is a very interesting study which shows Wickham Cuffee as he looked shortly before his death in 1915. Seated next to him is Fanny Bunn. The woman standing is Ellen Killis (Kellis) Cuffee, the wife of Wickham Cuffee. It was from these three families of Cuffee, Killis and Bunn that the more than 600 descendants of the Shinnecocks of today sprang. Increasing inter-marriage with negroes has almost obliterated the Indian blood and present day Shinnecocks bear no resemblance to these old people, with few exceptions. In 1937, when I first visited among the Shinnecocks, few of the grandchildren showed the Indian blood of their grandparents. Their children today show even less.
