I'm from Southeast Texas-- Orange, Texas--cajun country,

where there are bukuz of us who, in the fifties, used

_ Y'all_ for the plural, and some few who used

_all of you_ for the plural. Still fewer were

occasionally heard to say _all of y'all_ and

_all of y'all's_. I occasionally here it hear in

central Texas, and I did once hear _all of Y'all guys'_

--a triple plural possessive.
