Jamanda Posted February 12, 2005 Report Share Posted February 12, 2005 We were wondering who aunt lavinia was. We always thought she was Uncle Jesse's wife who had passed away, but then we saw an episode where he tells Bo and Luke to go stay with her and they mention that he hadn't spoke to her in 20 years. Would she be a sister then? Doesn't Daisy wear her wedding dress when she almost marries Enos? We're so counfused. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs. Luke Duke Posted February 12, 2005 Report Share Posted February 12, 2005 It's quite possible that Jesse had a sister named Lavinia and his wife was also named Lavinia. It's not that unusual to have a sibling and a spouse share the same name. Besides, I have two sets of aunts that share the same first name.

DaneyDuke Posted March 7, 2005 Report Share Posted March 7, 2005 Thanks, Mrs. Luke Duke. What's even more interesting is in an early episode, Jesse's wife is called Martha not Livinia. I asked someone if that meant he had two wives instead of one. Their opinion was that the writer had forgot LOLDaney Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamanda Posted March 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2005 In which early episode is that? The same sort of thing happened on MASH, when Col. Blakes wife went from being named Mildred to Lorraine and Col. Potter's wife was named Mildred. Our mom (a huge MASH fanatic) thinks that they wanted to have Mildred for Col. Potter's wife, so they changed the name for Col. Blake's.Ironically enough, Col. Potter's horse on MASH went from being a "he" to a mare named Sophie, kind of like Flash did when Rosco first got "her". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DixieRose_00 Posted September 23, 2005 Report Share Posted September 23, 2005 Hmmm.....that all could be it's very interesting that's for sure!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadian_Country_Cousin Posted September 23, 2005 Report Share Posted September 23, 2005 I think Jesse's wife was martha...I think Lavina was alive...another Aunt, because there are some episodes where Daisy is gone, (filming Enos) And they say she has gone to stay with Anut Lavina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RogerDuke Posted May 7, 2007 Report Share Posted May 7, 2007 The episode that Jesse said his wife's name was Martha was "The Legacy" from season 3. He was talking to his old flame Lucinda Meadows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoJamesDuke Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 Its all so confusing because later on in the season when they're having to leave the farm in...I forget..Farewell Hazzard I think, Jesse says your Aunt Lavinia died in this place :-S I think the writers got theirselves a little iddy bit confuzzled lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogerDuke Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 You're right Bo, that is from "Farewell Hazzard." It is the next to last episode in season 5. I suppose that it's possible that Jesse was married twice. One thing that I like about these controversies...each person can draw their own conclusion and nobody's officially wrong. My (fantasy) belief is that her name was Martha Lavinia Duke and Uncle Jesse occasionally called her by her middle name. I'm gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoriDavenport Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 I just whatched the Boar's Nest Bears and it said that lavinia was his wife? i dunno if ya'll already knew it or not, figured id put ym two sense into it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoJamesDuke Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 I found out who Martha Duke was! If you look at the episode Treasure of Hazzard, on September the 9th 1762 she gave birth to Joshua Duke - She was one of the first dukes to settle in Hazzard. So from that, this is what I think....the writers have got themselves very very confused is the obvious point, but that is where a Martha Duke is first mentioned. I recon Martha overall was Jessie's sister and Lavinia is his wife because Lavinia has more poignent moments in the Duke family mentioned, like her death. I've always believed it was Lavinia.

RogerDuke Posted August 15, 2007 Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 Hmmm, now I need to go back to the episode "The Legacy" and listen a little closer. You may be on to something Bo. When Jesse said Martha died there, I don't think he said "my wife Martha" so maybe he meant his sister. I only have 5 more episodes left and will have watched the whole series (again) (I started in January). I'm going to then start working on my map and start rewatching from season one again. This time I am going to write down every relative of every character. I hope to have a database (redneck translation: lots of notebooks) that will rival MinDuke's.

RogerDuke Posted August 21, 2007 Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 According to Jesse, the wedding gown that Daisy ("Enos and Daisy's Wedding") had on was worn by Lavinia when she married Jesse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
