What was a common layout of early US colonial settlers' homes?

As you can imagine, after sailing across the Atlantic Ocean and braving storms and rough seas, when the settlers arrived, the first item on their agenda was to build shelters. Depending on where they landed and decided to make their permanent settlements, the materials to build homes would have been based on the local indigenous materials. Regardless of their permanent location, the homes of the earliest settlers had familiar elements. The first shelters were probably simply built wooden stick structures with roofs made of straw, thatch, and leaves. The homes were built as temporary structures for protection from the elements. They were simple to build and effective as protection from the elements.
Gradually, as the settlers chose the permanent location for their colonies, homes became more structurally sound. The colonists would have used the materials found nearby. Colonists were ingenious—as they cleared the property to begin farming, the wood and other materials would be incorporated into building their homes. The homes would be simple structures assembled from wood and sticks. The floors would be dirt. Nails made from metal would have been costly and in short supply. So the houses used a unique assembly of notching the logs to fit together for the frame and using wooden pegs to help maintain the rigidity of the structure.
Speed and function were the main priority in the first homes. The homes would have one room not larger than twenty by twenty feet. The walls were made of wood, sticks, and mud to fill in the spaces between the logs. The mud acted like an adhesive keeping the sticks in place for insulation. The roof would have been made from thatch or local dried grasses again held in place by mud. Inside the room would be a fireplace, possibly a small table with chairs, and an elevated platform that was used as the bed. More than likely, most of the colonists slept on straw placed on top of the dirt floor. Survival was the priority, and anything that took time from hunting and farming was considered a luxury.
Later, as agriculture took hold, the colonists had more time to spend working on their homes. Homes gradually became more extensive with more rooms, flooring, windows, and other comforts. But only after the basic needs of the colonial community were met did opportunities to build more luxurious structures occur.
