To answer the OP's question, I would enter what the source says as
guessing at anything would be just as inaccurate. At some future time,
you may learn a the actual location and you can enter it then, even
adding a note as to the earlier entry if you like.
As far as the Source Citation goes I would definitely give the location
exactly as in the given Source - "America." But for my own benefit I
would enter something in the Location field in <>. Such is my
ignorance, I don't know how the "colonised" part of North America that
later became part of the USA would have been referred to at that time,
but if I was fairly sure that that was what was meant by "America"
(rather than Mexico, "Canada" or wherever) I would enter the location as
<American Colonies> or <Colony of America> or whatever the correct term
was.
This indicates to me that I am not entirely certain yet, but it's a good
starting point for further research.
