          <description>A Unique Person Identifier (UPI) is a string of numbers and digits that help trace an individual through time and space. Many enslaved and indentured people did not have last names; a UPI helps one distinguish between individuals that have the same first name. Additionally, if a person is mentioned in multiple documents, a UPI helps link said person to the various instances in which he or she is mentioned.</description>

              <text>Reverend Whitaker described Betty as "a blind slave of Joshua Tuthill, the great grandfather of the present Deacon, Ira Tuthill...Not only mentally and spiritually, but also physically was she a superior woman, for her weight was about three hundred pounds. During the forty years she lived in her blindness after she became fifty years of age—for she died fifty years ago at the age of ninety—the scene of her daily labor, and of her Christian culture and training, was chiefly in the kitchen of Deacon Tuthill's parents."
