Hi, I'm Mark, already a member of the 1776 Project and interested in joining other U.S. History group projects. On behalf of the Hall, Smith, French and Armstrong families, I wish to join the Great Puritan Migration project (for Quaker relatives in Rhode Island, Connecticut and New York), and (alas) the French-Indian War sub-project, because not all of the boys were good at quilting. The Smiths of Virginia especially were gun-toting Over the Mountain men who fought in many battles and helped to settle Kentucky, Tennessee and Texas, before kicking up more dust in the Civil War.
