Hi Folks, Since there is such a wonderful discussion going here about our Native American ancestry, I thought it a good time to throw this out to you and see if there are any bites. My ggg-grandmother, Sofia Atwood/Daniels--a Native American, was born at Indian Hollow (a then-area of Huntington), MA around 1814. Her parents were called Peter Atwood and Laura Whitney. Peter was said to be from NY State....Laura was from MA. It appeared that Laura was perhaps disowned after marrying Peter....as her own family history lists her only as "Laura"...no other info. I don't know what happened to her (both of her parents died in 1826 of influenza in Chester, MA)....Peter later remarried in 1825, had another family, and later moved to Illinois. On Sofia's death certificate, her step-mother (Peter's 2nd wife) was listed as her mother. (Mehitable Phoebe Clark/Atwood). My question is about Laura Whitney...anybody have any info on her? I would be interested to know if there is any further information on her marriage to Peter Atwood...and especially on HIS heritage. We believe it was Peter Atwood who was the Native Amercan, because we've traced Laura's family back to England. All info welcome at: chozijoy@aol.com Bev
