You might check Clarence S Brigham History and Bibliography of American Newspapers 1690-1820 to see if any clues as to political allegiance are noted. Also Jeffrey L. Pasley’s The Tyranny of Printers: Newspaper Politics in the Early American Republic (Charlottesville, 2001) might prove useful. —Mick Nicholls
