They settled first along the Eastern seaboard, from Maine to Georgia. Later they spread through the Midwest and Ontario and finally into Texas and Oklahoma.They were Mennonite, Lutheran, Quaker, Puritan, Presbyterian and Baptist. They came from England, Scotland, Northern Ireland, Holland, Germany, Alsace and Switzerland between 1621 and the 1830s. I'd love to share what information I have.
