However, there is also a similar usage of the word "of" that wouldn't
necessarily mean that the person lived in the location or was born there
either, but that his/her family is differentiated from others of the same
surname by a given location. An example would be "Thomas Dunaway of the
Spartanburg Dunaways."

Thanks, Penny. I knew there was a reason I posed this question to the
group because I would never have come up with this explanation myself. How
would you input your example into Legacy?
I most often see the "of" location in older genealogies and have wondered
if it meant something specific "back then" that was universally understood
and has since been abandoned.
