Although you can use the Master Location List to edit a location and the
change will update all uses I do not think that will work for you
because the same place that has existed since colonial days needs two
entries, one for the colonial place and one for the post-revolution
place name if it is used for an event after 1783. In fact if there have
been county name changes over time you may need more than just two to
adhere to the standard of naming a place as it existed at the time of an
event.
You can probably develop a work list using a search for all people with
an event date before 1783 then tagging those people to work on. As you
work through the tagged people, updating the place names to your
colonial standards, you can remove the tag.

I have been laboriously cleaning up my locations in Legacy 9. I decided
that all events in the US that took place before 1783 should identify
"Colonial America" for the country. After 1872, all US locations should
identify "United States" as the country.
This may not make sense to some, but it is something that I want to do.
Does anyone know how this might be accomplished without changing them
one by one?
