A good friend of my grandmother (grandmother's?) who was reared in North Texas always used the expression "of a morning" to express "in the morning".(I don't know where her parents were from.) My grandmother and her siblings, whose ancestors were from central Louisiana and Georgia, never used the expression.

I am not surprised to learn that the usage is from archaic (or nearly so) England. I'm from New York and I use it. One becomes archaic quickly, here.
