The Clampett Family Tree, questions to follow:

Granny was Jed's mother. Jed was Ellie-Mays father. Jethro Bodine was Jed's nephew. Was Pearl Jethro's mother? Was she Pearl Bodine, therefore making her Jed's sister-in-law? I don't ever recall any referencing to the Granny's, Jed's, or Pearl's deceased spouses. Perhaps I'm wrong though. And what about Lester and Earl Scruggs? Why did Lester not want Earl to marry Pearl? He even wrote a song ..."Earl, Earl, Earl, please don't marry Pearl, she's nutty as a squirrel ...." so how did that verse end? Am I imagining this little ditty? Why didn't Jed give some of his millions to Pearl? Where did Pearl live? Did she live in Bugtussel? Didn't Jethro have a sister that lived in back in Bugtussel as well? Jethrine? Is there really a place in Texas called Bugtussel? Please advise.

Granny was Jed's mother-in-law. She was Daisy Moses.

They referenced Jed's deceased wife a few times, but I do not remember her name.

Pearl Bodine was Jed's cousin, so although Jethro called him "uncle" he technically was not, he was a cousin once removed.

The Clampetts didn't come from Texas. They came from the Ozark mountain area, so Southern Missouri or Arkansas (the state was never specified).

Bugtussle was used because it sounds so goofy. There are towns and areas with that name in several southern states, but none of them are the fictional Bugtussle of The Beverly Hillbillies.

Lester didn't want Earl to marry Pearl because HE was in love with Pearl, too.

Earl's riposte to Lester's "nutty as a squirrel" dig:

"Pearl, Pearl, come be my loving girl/ Don't you marry Lester Flatt, He slicks his hair with possum fat/ Change your name to Mrs. Earl Scruggs."

Pearl had an identical cousin who ran the Shady Rest Hotel in Hooterville.

by Anonymousreply 7October 24, 2014 11:44 PM

I think Pearl is Jed's cousin, not his late wife's cousin.

She may even be his sister, in which case Jethro calling Jed "Uncle" makes perfect sense.

It was not uncommon 100 years ago for parents to refer to a daughter as "sister" when there was also a brother in the family, and vice versa.

Other Southerners can perhaps corroborate this old timey southern idiom.

Milburn Drysdale did not have a middle name on the television show.

Margaret, nee Fahrquar, was from Boston.

Great character Charlie Ruggles played her father in several early episodes.

"Daddy Fahrquar" was a card sharp who tried to steal the Clampets money in card games because Margaret did not know he was broke.

I liked that the Clampett's genealogy actually was pure Mayflower aristocracy, and Jed in a moment of compassion suppressed it so Mrs. Drysdale wouldn't feel less-than.

[quote] the Clampett's genealogy actually was pure Mayflower aristocracy,

Which never actually made any sense, because the mountain people of the Ozarks were descendants of Appalachian settlers who came from Virginia or Pennsylvania. They were English or Scots-Irish people who immigrated to North America in the 18th century.

Mayflower descendants (from 17th century migrations) would not have taken that path of settlement.

The Clampetts weren't Mayflower descendants. They were Jamestown descendants. This was discovered by Mrs. Drysdale's Mayflower associate, Priscilla Ralph Alden Smith Standish, played by Rosemary DeCamp.

Mrs. Standish is a down-to-earth historian who realizes that the Clampetts old things are priceless relics that predate the sailing of the Mayflower. She tells the horrified Mrs. Drysdale that when their Mayflower ancestors arrived in the New World, Jed Clampett's Jamestown ancestors were already there to greet them.

Some solid acting from everyone on this show. I loved Granny, Pearl, Mrs. Dysdale, Jethro and Jethrine, and Elly May and Miss Jane. and many of the wonderful guest stars, from Hedda Hopper to Kathleen Freeman to Rosemary DeCamp.

The sets were breathtaking back in the day. The first few years were hilarious.

When I lived in Los Angeles as a young man in the early 70s, you could easily find the actual mansion in Bel Air. You can't see it now, due to the way the owners have reconfigured walls/foliage.

A high concept series that had plenty of double entendres and gay allusions. Harmless, funny, silly, a slice of Americana.

In one episode Jed tells the family tree.

You are correct that Jed and Pearl are first cousins. And that makes Jethro and Elly second cousins. Jed even says that Jethro is his first cousin once removed, but he calls him uncle.

Granny was identified as Daisy early on. Originally series creator Paul Henning wanted to make Granny Jed's mother. This was changed for two reasons.

Henning was head writer on the Burns and Allen (radio show) and Bea Benaderet played Gracie's best friend Blanche. He wanted Benaderet for Granny and she almost got it, but he pictured Granny as a tiny woman and Bea was to "busty" for his likings. He rewrote the show to put Benaderet in it as a cousin.

Henning also changed Granny to a mother-in-law, as he wanted Jed to be the absolute head of the "clan," and if Granny was his mother he would not be.

Early on Granny is painting and corrects Miss Jane when she says she is Granny Clampett, saying "No ma'am I'm a Moses." Jane looks astonished and says "Granny Moses? You're Grandma Moses." She continues "Did you know there's a famous painter Grandma Moses?" To wit Granny replies, "I've whitewashed a few fences in my day."

So it seems to have started out as a one off joke.

by Anonymousreply 48October 28, 2014 7:31 PM

Pearl who has a love/hate relationship with Granny (mainly due to their both wanting to be in charge of the kitchen) states proudly that she has Clampett blood in here but Granny does not.

Granny says that she's Granny to them all, thus confirming her title "Granny" is not only biological but also just a figure. Indeed she is Granny to anyone she likes, such as Miss Jane too.

Jed's wife and Granny's daughter is referred to in one episode as Rose Ellen.

Granny and Jed as different points state that Granny is from "across the river," this probably means the Mississippi River. Later episodes state both she and Mr Drysdale are from Tennessee. Drysdale relatives are Botkins, whom Granny's relatives were feuding with.

Granny also states she was born in the same county in Tennessee as Davy Crockett. This would be Greene County Tennessee, way in Eastern tennessee.

Jed's family is established as in Arkansas / Missouri Ozark area.

Jethro speaks of going to Joplin, MO and wanting to be a street car conductor, like they have there.

Mr John Brewster of the OK Oil Company, has a home and office in "nearby" Tulsa. Does OK mean Oklahoma? Or "OK" as in "all right'?

It's funny how when they speak of wild Hollywood parties, Granny, Miss Jane and Drysdale tell of a story not firsthand but they all know someone who knew someone, who went to one, and they got the information from someone in a flour mill in Springfield. Also a city in SW Missouri.

by Anonymousreply 50October 28, 2014 7:42 PM

Mrs Drysdale is from Boston. Her family came over on the Mayflower, though Jed's family was already in Jamestown waiting for them. Jed lies about this as he says he doesn't want the fame and attention that would come with it.

Usually it's indicated that Margaret Drysdale's family had no money, only a rich family name and she married Drysdale so she could have his money. In other words her family is old but "poor" and Drysdale is "new money."

However there are a few contradictory episodes where it's stated Margaret's family has money. Edward Everett Horton played Margaret's father and he clearly had no money at all, trying to woo Granny so she'd finance his gambling problem. Horton is best remembered as the narrator on Bullwinkle's "Fractured Fairy tales."

by Anonymousreply 51October 28, 2014 7:48 PM

Certain things are contradictory in the show. For instance even in the beginning Jed, Elly and Granny are illiterate. Pearl, Jethro and Jethrine are not. But either Jed, Elly and Granny learn very, very fast or it's soon forgotten.

Granny's medical ability, though it'd be very popular now with "natural cures," changes depending on the joke. For instance, sometimes she knows about penicillin and other times she does not.

Elly Mae has a similar problem with animals. She sometimes seems to know what all kinds of animals are but then other times don't. For instance it's odd that she knows what a hippo is, when there is one found at the Clampett pool. But in some early episodes it's shown Elly hangs out at the zoo a lot.

In deed to this day the "Beverly Hillbillies" holds the record for the highest rated "non-special" episode. (Non-special meaning just a regular episode not a series end like Cheers or M*A*S*H). It was the one where Drysdale's banker friend from Australia sends him a kangaroo and it gets out of his garage and hops over to the Clampetts. Granny spend the rest of the episode trying to catch the "giant jackrabbit."
