Banners
Well, I would like to use the banners but they look a bit deep to me I am not able to find much more on this guy, so I suppose there isnt going to be much more detail added IF someone knows how and wants to work it, I am down with it :o)JGVR (talk) 23:29, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

Window lead
somewhere in the references i found (and lost) mention of orders being given to collect lead from the windows throughout the Albany area. Women were bringing the tea-services and what have you to Philip's home (where on his property was the military store) to melt down into musket balls. The lead from Philips own windows was reportedly collected as most leaded windows would be in the homes of the wealthy.....JGVR (talk) 01:04, 9 January 2013 (UTC)
