I got a message that 2 regiments and supplies had landed in Alexandria from England. When I clicked the message to show me these units, it directed me to Nova Scotia, where in fact they where. No such units where in Alexandria, so it appears to be some sort of mistake in the system.

Also - playing Annus Mirabilis and found that the troops in Manhattan are occupaying Ft. Lee, which is technically in New Jersey, and was also not errected until 1776.

Good, our sources were thus 20 years late leure: ...do you have a suitable name to provide for that fort then ?

the event message will be corrected

Fort George would be the appropriate name.

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.
