I do hope you mean Words from the 1600s and the 1700s in Colonial America. There are Words we have today from that time period came from the nations of the immigrants. After time some events and people became part of our vocabulary. Words like spangled. Star spangled banner. Or Jeffersonian which came from Thomas Jefferson's ways, ideas and contributions. We have Words like cotton gin, spinning wheel, and the old language uses you can still see in the King James Version of the Bible like thee, thine, thou, thy etc. A lot of sailing and military terms come from that time period and some are not used now very often like the Word rampart. The Words I like are bonnet, apron, buckles, pilgrim, Thanksgiving, all the Indian names they put on the names of the states,, popcorn, tobacco, tea party, and I love all the Words in the Bill of Rights and the Constitution. We would not have the country we have today if it were not for the Words those "non-colonists and now Americans" wrote back then. Here are some Words we don't use any more coach house, livery, blacksmith (we still have them but there are not many of them) wagon wheel, four score, hot chestnuts.

If you want to see some of the Words that were used in those times read Pilgrims Progress and the KJV Bible.
