Really?  The Irish folk that escaped to settle in Appalachia have forever been the butt of jokes.  William is a common Irish name, thus with them settling in the hills, the birth of the term "hillbilly".  Not to mention the part of the forced interbreeding with the Africans, to get a better dollar per person on the Irish.
