Notes (historical):: Guardians of Massachusetts Indians tribes on their plantations were appointed by the General Court to take, redistribute, and lease or sell Indian lands, using the income to support sick and indigent Indians, and reporting their transactions to the General Court. These records include annual financial statements of such transactions as well as other reports and Correspondence relating to the guardians' duties. They deal primarily with the Mashpee (then called Marshpee) Indian plantation, but also with those of Chappaquiddick, Christiantown, Dudley, Gay Head, Grafton (or Hassanamisco, Hassanamessett), Herring Pond (and Black Ground), Natick, Punkapog, and Troy. There is Correspondence concerning the disturbances on the Mashpee plantation in 1833-1834 and an enumeration of population of the Mashpee plantation in 1832.
