To add to the "of" discussion. In Scotland, records such as Parish Records,
headstone inscriptions, testaments etc use "of" a place (a property) to
indicate ownership of that property and "in" a place to designate a tenant
on the property.

I've fairly recently gotten into researching family history after
inheriting some files that my grandfather started about 25 years ago.
I've found several instances where he's written things like:
Valentine McHenry
of Cuba, Kansas
1853-1926
What does "of" mean? Is it where Valentine was born? Where he was
known to have lived as an adult? Something else? Does "of (a place)"
have a specific meaning that everyone uses the same way??
