Help me identify this locution

There's a certain phrase that is usually associated with old money Northeastern WASPs of the form "$FIRSTNAME $LASTNAME, of the $LOCATION $LASTNAME[S]". You can see an example of it in this article about Lincoln Chafee , "of the Rhode Island Chafees," or more jestingly in this comment on the Blue. My question is, where does it come from? Can it be traced to a specific literary source, or was it a common expression among old money WASPs in the Northeast once upon a time? Is it even something old money WASPs in the Northeast would have said?
