EARLY AMERICAN ORNATE FAMILY REGISTERS
Many of you have seen the "Needlework Samplers" that I have posted on line
https://www.familysearch.org/photos/gallery/album/619702
another type of very similar "family treasure" - in the same era and geographic area
were ornate Family Registers
here are some examples:

If you have ancestors fro mNew England
it is quite possible to find registers and samplers - by makers with the same last surname that are extant - though maybe not your direct ancestors.

Dennis, I love your dedication in collecting these treasures and helping family members find this connection to their family. I hope that you receive notes of gratitude from descendants. These are impressive.
