I have been trawling through this a lot, and I'm finding some very interesting stuff. I am pricking a pattern that they have listed as 1774 (perhaps). Probably above my pay grade still, but I want to try. https://www.si.edu/object/chndm_1938-49-2

Check out this pyramid pillow--found when searching for Ipswich Lace: https://www.si.edu/object/pillow-making-bobbin-lace:chndm_1949-51-1

I know it's not the Revolutionary War period that I'm interested in, but I still thought it was fascinating.
