Mary, Whilst what you say may or may not be possible for the time at which the country was a colony, please remember that the American 4 field convention does not work for much of the world. In my view it is quite wrong to change the name of a Location just to make it fit.

How should early Colonial American places be shown? I try to show county names as they existed at the time of the event (and don't include "County"). Clearly it would not be correct to say "United States" nor "America". thanks, Mary L.
