I grew up in southern Illinois and most of my ancestors came to Illinois during the Scots-Irish migration from the Carolinas. You can still hear traces of this speech pattern there.
Thanks for posting.

I had a dear friend, no longer with us, alas, who grew up in Carbondale and had definite traces of such speech.
