Ok, coloring cheeks according to this article dates farther back than I thought:

"Tinting an image was popular early on in the history of antique images, especially in the early 1860s. The most common type of tinting was a pinking of the cheeks to give the face a little healthy color. You will see pink cheeks on ambrotypes, cdvs, and tintypes."

So one might have to look for an earlier First Lady. The lady in the photo looks 20 or younger.

Mary McElroy (born in 1841)?
