Well! That explains it...Red Necks!
No joke, when I married the first time, I chose a man born in Springfield, Mass so there was no chance of being remotely related to him, LOL! In a moderate-sized county like Knox (432,226), you can't talk badly about someone because I guarantee you they are either related to you, related to your in-laws, grew up with, or goes to church with whomever. Kidding aside, upper E TN was a very isolated area like most of Appalachia. From the time this area was settled until the mid 20th century we were primarily ag with family farms that subdivided as families started their own families. Industry has never been booming here (by and large). There was nothing to draw outsiders here. Now, however, we get a lot of Northern retirees that can afford to buy the prime real estate on the lakes that the Federal government took by emminent domain from families for public utilities (TVA). A few decades pass. TVA then turns around and sells those same properties to developers for upscale residences.
Geez, I'm chasing rabbits here. Sorry to digress. Personally, I know of only one couple that were 1st cousins, went to school together, and married.
Keep in mind that in the “inner cities”, the problem is likely to be even worse, with multiple women in the same neighborhood having babies from the same gang-bangers. They are likely marrying cousins without knowing it.
You are confusing Rednecks with white trash, there is no similarity.
How did their children turn out?
Fine. No physical or mental abnormalities. They were lucky, I assume. BTW, the children are adults now.
