Yes, the Carter Family, A. P. Carter, Sarah and "mother' Maybelle were from the Clinch Mountain, Poor Valley area of Scott County. They were just plain mountain folks who loved to play music and sing and found a way to make a living doing it. G. Lee Hearl Authentic Appalachian Storyteller Abingdon, Va.
