I'm taking another dive into google books this morning, specifically for the time periods 1750-1840 to see if there are other works that emulate the thoughts of Priest and Gatch. Frustratingly, most are in other languages and my system of translation is shoddy at best, I'll continue to update as I find more. However I did still find some interesting things about Tartaria (though not explicitly connected to American settlement or origins), which I think help support the idea that Tartaria was indeed a nation with Kings, armies, and social structure contrary to the narrative that they were just nomadic steppe horse riders.
On Tartars and the destruction of Moscow:
Apparently Russians owed tribute to the Tartarian Emperor...this doesn't really support the narrative that they were a loose association of tribes. "If you don't pay me I will send 100,000 horse lords to your door" sounds like a threat that only a great empire could make on another.
Another interesting nugget - though admittedly someone who is actually familiar with Latin can hopefully translate this better, as I am relying on a machine to do it for me.
Index Rerum in Apocalypsi Revelata. Ex operibus posthumis Emanuelis Swedenborgii. [Edited by J. A. Tulk.]
This book appears to be theological in nature, so its no surprise that this definition made its way in here. I am curious why Tartaria is an ancient word for "speech with angels who are from Great Tartary", if the translation is correct.

Great Tartary is described in Asia from speech with spirits and angels, who are from there; and that with them the Word is ancient, n. 11
