  • Central Pennsylvania, north of present-day Harrisburg: St. Anthony's Wilderness;
  • South Georgia: country of the Apalachees;
  • North Florida: TIMOOQUA;
  • Alabama area: The English has Factories & Settlements in all the Towns of the Creek Indians of any note, except Albamas; e.t.c

What does not belong to America are inter alia:

  • U.S.A –Canada border was not clearly drawn from Maine to the Oregon Country;
