Outside of rural New England and Utah (mostly Mormons - who originated in Upstate NY and are their own thing really), there are few people of wholly English ancestry anymore.  They're not really a distinctive group anymore.  I don't know if anyone - except older WASP New Englanders maybe - would identify as a Yankee today.

Would just add colonial stock to that definition as New England to exclude later immigrants from Great Britain, the Canadian Maritime provinces and Newfoundland.
