You are welcome. I did a couple deep dives and bought original copies of LAW reprints of most of the states that ratified via publication (you can get reprints from India for all of them if you cannot find them in the archive). TONA was continuously re-ratified (75% of states) almost all the way up to the Civil War. What most people don't know is that the "exit" of the Confederate states automatically re-ratified it as 75% of remaining Union states had previously ratified it. This is why they had to modify all the state Constitutions 1868-1871 in order to hide it, and is precisely why they numbered the "Freeing of the Slaves" as the 13th Amendment and also why nearly every state that has Income Tax Amendment it is the 13th Amendment in State Constitutions (CA is example, I believe).


One key document is the Constitution of Maine which was spun off from MA and had ratified TONA 13. This is evidence that territories turned into states ratify it by default carry over unless General Assembly of new state changes the law. It shows the amendment as officially ratified. Secretary of State John Quincy Adams 1817-1825 never publicly recognized TONA 13 because he was a British agent and would have been deported after losing his citizenship automatically upon official recognition (not required, but was the precedent). In return for doing what he was told, the British rigged the 1824 election to make him POTUS.
