One of my favorite trivia questions for the Beverly Hillbillies is this:What was jed Clampett's wife's name?

"Mrs. Clampett's" name was Rose Ellen....
she and Granny trained Jed's old horse to
stop under a tree to get him to propose
to her....this, according to Granny, took
them six months....

Finaly,someone entered who knows.Thank you for answering.Perhaps Rose Ellen was 15 or so when she married Jed,but apparently she wasn't as strong as her mother was-or her grandmother!Rose Ellen probably died shortly after Elly May was born-and I recall Jed once told his daughter,"Yer the livin' pitcher a' yer Maw."If that is the case,Rose Ellen must've been lovely.

How well I remember the two or three times in the series' first year when Elly May's mother was actualy named.If I recall,the first time was when Jed was criticizing Granny for her helping Elly,"trap,"Sonny Drysdale into marriage.

JED:Nobody has to get trapped into marriage.
GRANNY:Every man that got married was got into it that way.
JED:Not me.I remember Rose Ellen and I were out drivin' in a buggy,the horse stopped under a shady elm tree,an' I proposed to her on the spur o' the moment.
GRANNY:That,"spur o' the moment,"o' yourn took us six months plannin'.We even trained that horse ta stop under the shady elm.
