Have you considered participating in one of WikiTree's Connect-A-Thons? It's a great opportunity to add new profiles, whether they are extended family members or someone who fits into of one of your projects. The next one will run from Friday, April 22nd to Monday, April 25th.
I want to personally invite you to join the Mid-Atlantic Team because of your New Jersey and Pennsylvania roots and your interest in Maryland cemetery research. If you are interested in participating, you can sign up in the G2G forum registration post (https://www.wikitree.com/g2g/1392037) and add another badge to your collection. You are not limited to adding profiles for only this region, of course. Hope you'll consider joining the fun!
Thanks for taking the Pre-1700 Quiz
As Pre-1700 ancestors are shared by many descendants, working within the projects coordinating them is essential. Please ensure there is a location and that the location data matches dates of profiles, avoid abbreviations, add citations & links for sources to support the data, please review these pages https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Category:Reliable_Sources_for_Pre-1700_Profiles - Help page for sources - https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:Sources as well as United States reliable sources. Writing a short biography of over 500 characters starts to tell their life story, it is surprising how much can be drawn from sources.
The United States Project and its subprojects for each state, would be of interest. Adding the tag UNITED_STATES will connect you Follow this link for your tags This prorject has sub projects for each State and each of those have their own subprojects for counties.
Explore Pre-1700 Projects list to find one that fits your research focus.

P.S. To find reliable sources for your profiles, go to the Family Tree & Tools tab; select Genealogy Research and scroll down near the bottom of that list and select Research with RootsSearch. There are over 20 websites to access from there.
I would suggest starting with New Member How-to pages which may save you a lot of time and frustration.
Don't be afraid to ask questions in our very active G2G forum. You can get involved as much or as little as works for you. Be sure to check out the tabs at the very top right hand side of your profile, there is lots to discover!

P.S.
Also, Thank You for adding your DNA Test information to your profile on WikiTree. Your information will be propagated to the profiles of your parents and your ancestors within about 24 hours of being added. It will also propagate to the profiles of the descendants of your ancestors, so they may see your information under the heading "DNA Connections" just as you can see theirs.
Getting started with DNA outlines how to proceed to use your DNA test information on WikiTree and DNA is a link to a collection of links about WikiTree's many features involving DNA.
The DNA Connections list on your profile will provide a visual way for you to find potential relatives on WikiTree who have also added their DNA test information. Using DNA tools at sites like GEDMatch.com, if you find a relative that matches your DNA sufficiently and you have genealogical sources for the intermediate relationships, you can mark the specific parental relationships back to the most recent ancestor that you both share as "confirmed with DNA." For details, guidance, and examples of how to properly document DNA confirmations, see DNA confirmation.
To get the best results, begin adding sourced profiles for your ancestors until you can connect to ancestors already in WikiTree. If you have exhausted what you know on one line, it can sometimes help to add what you know on another line. The more branches you are able to add the greater the likelihood of finding potential cousins to match with. The process of identifying which branch elements of DNA relate to will better enable you to find matches that relate to the particular branches you are researching.
This is just a note to say hi and to let you know that I'm available to answer questions about WikiTree.
