Additional notes by Ne-Do-Ba;
Holly avoids Eastern Abenaki names. We don't think they should be ruled out.
- Eastern & Western Abenaki fought side by side
- Eastern Abenaki families are documented at Odanak
- There is much intermarriage between the two groups
- The Androscoggin & Saco Abenaki may be Eastern Abenaki and are likely to be found trading at Fort #4.
- There are many 'r' in some names, a sound not found in the Western Abenaki dialect
