There are two different trips that you could plan: tracing C & J, or tracing TRP tracing C & J. 

If you are interested in tracing TRP tracing C & J (in the US), I'd recommend stopping in at these libraries, which I have, unfortunately, only been able to visit on the web:

* The Historical Society of Pennsylvania: http://www.hsp.org/default.aspx?id=557

* The Library of the American Philosophical Society: http://www.amphilsoc.org/search/

* Maryland State Archives and the Archives of Maryland Online: http://www.msa.md.gov/ 

I feel quite certain that TRP hit all three of these libraries while researching M&D. Their relevant collections are absolutely stunning. You can find first-hand materials in these libraries that are (nearly?) quoted word-for-word in M&D.
