Mohicans in Connecticut

Scott: I am not doing too well today with getting posted. I've been reading about King Philip's War (17th century). I was not aware of Mohicans in Connecticut, and, I'm curious to know if they were still there during French and Indian War (18th century). When Rich raised the question of Mohecans rather than Mohicans it confused me more. Is it a question of spelling or are the Mohecans a different nation? Also: I'm wondering if some Connecticut place names (Willimantic and Natchaug come to mind) are Mohican (Mohecan?). I'm not interested in Angels and heads of pins. Perhaps it is just because I could be born and raised in Connecticut with NO knowledge of Mohicans that I'm somewhat startled by the fact they were there.
