Our idea of statehood/nationhood was not 'understood' in early Amerivca. Create
a
naming system that shows you understand that no system existed, nor was
'correct'. I use Massachusetts Bay Colony for example
I use whatever the area was know as then and the present State, followed
by Colonial America.
As in Plymouth Colony, Massachusetts, Colonial America.
or Monmouth County,New Jersey,Colonial America.
It tells me what I want to know, and says it to others.

Thank you everyone for your thoughts. It helps to know how others handle these
things and then decide which seems to fit best for my purposes. I did follow
the link to the Thirteen Colonies and will read it now.

Thanks Scott. The link I followed was the first I came across British America.

Often the location given as Plymouth (County), Massachusetts, United States is
not correct in Ancestry.com records. I've spent days trying to read the history
and figure out what locations should be entered.
The settlers were English primarily, but mostly self governing in those early
days.
You are nit picking.
What difference does it make?
I grew up there in the Manomet area.
I won't worry about it.
