Here's another plot hole that has always bugged me. In A Plaque for Mayberry, 
two ladies from the Women's Historical Society are trying to track down the 
direct descendant of war hero Nathan Tibbs. They think he lives in Mayberry, 
because "so far we haven't been able to trace him to any of the other towns."

How in the world did they figure out that Nathan Tibbs even HAD a living 
descendant?  Genealogical research always starts with the known present and 
then looks toward the unknown past. Did they find an old newspaper article that 
read "200 years from now, Nathan Tibbs will have exactly one living descendant, 
and he will live in North Carolina"?  Impossible.
