Cora, Countess of Stafford was one of the American heiresses who famously crossed the Atlantic in the late 19th century to marry English nobility; her brief marriage to the 4th Earl of Stafford in 1898 followed her earlier marriage to Samuel J. Colgate, whose soap-making company she inherited upon his death. A lively society figure until her death in 1931, John Singer Sargent painted her portrait in 1908.
