A lot of us don't realize that most Hillbillys are of English descent. I have talked to people who said "the Rainses were brought over from Wales to work the coal mines." Nothing could be further from the truth! We mostly descend from good English stock, and we have been in KY for 100 years before any coal was even discovered. The same holds true for the Turners and Marsees, old families that were in KY in 1790, before KY was a state. We came up from NC and VA.
