elef Posted April 3, 2007 Report Share Posted April 3, 2007 One of grandfather's brothers lived there many years, he told me that IRS in the early fifties sent an inspector to one area as noone had any taxable income. The inspector vanished and never heard about again. A year later they sent an other inspector with the same result. After that IRS sent no more inspectors. So no doubt there're of scottish ancestry. :grin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flashermac Posted April 3, 2007 Report Share Posted April 3, 2007 I have a friend who was once in a remote cove (in West Virginia, I think) where he noticed folks all sort of looked alike. Children were sometimes born with webbed feet or extra toes. One local encouraged him to stay, saying "We could use some fresh blood up here." p.s. Note this is in the hill country of Appalachia -- east Tennessee, North Georgia, eastern Kentucky, West Virginia, western North Carolina. It's sort of the American equivalent of Isaan.

Flashermac Posted April 3, 2007 Report Share Posted April 3, 2007 Not that kind of cove. The Scottish kind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Munchmaster Posted April 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2007 Yes, the Scottish kind (cove = a small sheltered bay in the shoreline of a sea, river or lake), the kind you can swim in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashermac Posted April 3, 2007 Report Share Posted April 3, 2007 In the mountains it's a small roundish valley with a stream. Long way to a lake or ocean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
