Hiram's nephew resettled in US location (3,9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

new hampshire

'us location' is the definition.
(I know that New Hampshire is a U.S. state)

'hiram's nephew resettled' is the wordplay.
'resettled' is an anagram indicator (letters must be resettled in a new order).
'hirams'+'nephew'='hiramsnephew'
'hiramsnephew' anagrammed gives 'NEW HAMPSHIRE'.

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for new hampshire that I've seen before include "Northeast US state" , "State of New England" , "A NE US state" , "Part of America" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
