I have been getting several search hits for the term “blue people of troublesome creek”. I would like to help anyone looking for this information.

Blue People of Troublesome Creek

The link above will take you to a article that explains more about the blue people.

Here is the intro the article.

Six generations after a French orphan named Martin Fugate settled on the banks of eastern Kentucky’s Troublesome Creek with his redheaded American bride, his great-great-great great grandson was born in a modern hospital not far from where the creek still runs.

The boy inherited his father’s lankiness and his mother’s slightly nasal way of speaking.

What he got from Martin Fugate was dark blue skin. “It was almost purple,” his father recalls.

Doctors were so astonished by the color of Benjy Stacy’s skin that they raced him by ambulance from the maternity ward in the hospital near Hazard to a medical clinic in Lexington. Two days of tests produced no explanation for skin the color of a bruised plum.
