Found this while searching my own family (also Indian) on the NEHGS site.
From the Congregational Church of West Yarmouth, MA comes the following Baptism record:
Joseph, son of Samll (prob. Samuel) & Mehetable WHITNEY (INDIANS), June 9, 1765 (their son was baptized on this date).
I thought it was incredible that the church actually noted them as Indians during that time period.
I do have Whitney's in my family from Maine and my family is also part of the Wabanaki nation from there, so who knows...this might be an early ancestor.
I hope this helps someone find their missing links.
