Hi Dee, In a case like you describe below, I believe that the proper thing to do is to include a supporting note attached to the event fact that the listed location is in the present day county of Xxxxxx and state of XX. This supporting documentation should provide you the reminder that you need and I know that it is easy to do with the Family Origins genealogy program that I use.
