I believe they were from a place called Bug Tustle Tennessee. Right over there by Hooterville.

No one know for sure where the Clampetts came from, but clues during the TV series "The Beverly Hillbillies" seem to point to Southwest Missouri. Could this be it? Taken near Warsaw Missouri in the hills of the Ozarks.

Nice one James, sure looks a bit like Jed's cabin, used to love watching the Beverly Hillbillies when I was a kid, Chris

This is what I've found on Wikipedia...nothing specific, pretty much a general area called the Ozarks.
The creators of the series seemed to place the Beverly Hillbillies as having previously lived somewhere in a mountainous area of the Southern US, yet beyond this, consistent information about specifically which part of the South they were from is not available. While Granny frequently mentioned that she was from Tennessee, the series never specified the state from which the Clampetts moved to California. Various, sometimes conflicting clues can be found in certain episodes as to where the Beverly Hillbillies might have come from. In season 5 episode 17 it is claimed that they came from the town of "Bugtussle" in an unspecified state.
While there is indeed a town of Bugtussle in Oklahoma, this does not appear to be consistent with other geographical clues from other episodes. In other episodes they often referred to nearby towns such as Joplin, Branson, Springfield, Tulsa, Silver Dollar City, all of which are in or near southwest Missouri. In the eighth episode of season 8, named "Manhattan Hillbillies," Granny tells the police officer in Central Park that her family comes from Taney County (which is in southwest Missouri). Early episodes also contained several references to Eureka Springs, which is in northwest Arkansas. All of these communities are in mountainous portions (the Ozarks) of the Southern United States.
