Not West Virginia

Which reminds me that once during my journalism program someone asked my middle name and when I told them it was "Jean" they made some jokes about this and said that I was from West Virginia. Of course I have never set foot in West Virginia so I have no clue why it was so hard to convince these people that I am not from West Virginia. Perhaps my ancestors passed through the hollars of Appalachia two hundred years go in migration from Abingdon, Viriginia, to Texas but no, we are not from West Virginia. I am not surprised that the Butterfields would be spreading such lies about my mother as they know almost nothing about us.
