Your best bet for a NYC area location in the 1750's might be Fort George (or The Battery to be more generic) part of a series of forts built between 1664 and 1776 which were the harbor defense at the southern tip or perhaps Kings Bridge which would have been at the northern tip of Manhattan Island.
Perhaps Governors Island? Which being in the harbor would have been a tough nut to crack if the French got that far south.
From NY parks website:
Troops came to Governors Island in 1755 and would not leave again for another 241 years. The 51st Regiment of British Colonial Militia was the first group to arrive. Three other regiments arrived shortly after and made up the "Royal Americans."
In New Jersey a series of Barracks (or I suppose they would qualify as depots in the game) were constructed in the 1750's located in Trenton, New Brunswick, Burlington, Perth Amboy, and Elizabethtown.
