I am talking about the ones where Legacy geo codes them. I did not put the

Shows up just north of Memphis, Tennessee.
Even if I tell it to re geo code it still codes it for Tennessee.

Michele,
Have you tried going to Bing Maps on the web and entering in the location to
see where they think it is? BTW what is Marion, a county, town etc.?

If this is a problem with Bing Maps then can Legacy link to Google?

The original poster was using a custom event sentence. When defining
your own event sentences you do need to include the [sources] field to
tell Legacy where to include the source citations in the sentence. If
you do not use the [sources] then no sources will be cited in the sentence.
