Well, here is a start:
Massachusetts: Retains control over Maine and/or has the Merrimack River border dispute settled in New Hampshire's favor.
New York: James Clinton and Simeon DeWitt survey the lands around Erie correctly, giving New York the Erie Triangle.
Pennsylvania: Loses the Erie Triangle. It will protest around 1790 when it realizes this fact, but the momentum to transfer the land will be long gone.
Connecticut: Somehow able to better manage its funds, the state is not forced to request forgiveness on their loans in 1796. The state retains control of the Western Reserve.
New Hampshire: Either Vermont is folded back into New Hampshire, as the state wanted, or New Hampshire loses Indian Springs during peace negotiations with Great Britain.
Virginia: The state is more indebted to the federal government due to poor administration. This combined with more successful debates up north causes Virginia to cede modern day West Virginia.
It wasn't they surveyed it wrong, they petitioned Congress to let them have the land for a Lake Erie Port.
What I meant is creating brand new borders within the areas of the thirteen original states that were already settled and not just claimed in 1770.
For example, West Virginia, or DC, would satisfy the requirement. Creating an upstate New York would also. Or transferring Virginia's exclave to Delaware or Maryland.
Partially yes and partially no.I do not think I am understanding you. Does my post fulfill the requirement?

How could the Thirteen Original states' borders be changed with a POD of 1770 or later?
At least half of them.
The OTL changes of Maine and Vermont do not count since the borders were already there. West Virginia does.
