Jack: There have always been Indians in Massachusetts.....there are about 35,000 today....they have regular names just like the rest of us..... In Brimfield, the Indians were of the Quabog tribe . As for blacks....it's very possible that there were blacks living in Brimfield in 1810.... there were free blacks in Mass. before then. Do you have a name for the black or Indian you seek ?
