Are there any accounts of Native North American Indians serving as crew aboard privateer vessels?

Any time between the 17th and 18th century in North America. However if anyone has information specific to the time of "Queen Annes war" or the "war of Jenkins ear" in the area around Florida/Georgia/South Carolina that would be much appreciated.

Yes. I do not have information specific to the period of the War of Jenkin's Ear, or "Queen Annes War" for that region, though many tribes served as guides, hunters, fishermen, and divers to privateering vessels.

I recommend A Voyage to New Holland by William Dampier and Woodes Rogers' autobiography/travel log. They are from the time period, but not from the specific region.
