Which of Earl Hamner's siblings are still living? And, was Earl the oldest just like John Boy?

Earl Hamner is the oldest of eight children. Sisters Audrey(Erin) and Nancy(Elizabeth) are still living and so is brother Paul (Ben). Clifton (Jason), Marion (Mary Ellen),Bill (other half of Ben),and Jim (Jim Bob) are deceased.

I wonder if he was called Earl Boy? Earl Hamner has been asked that, and he said definitely NOT.

Sprocket is what I remember too. It was only used in that one episode.

I know this is an old thread but I was looking through the Hamner family facts and noticed that Bill (Ben) died in 1989 and then the family lost their mother, Doris and brother Clifton (Jason) both in 1990. Then in 2004 James (Jim-Bob) and Marion (Mary-Ellen) died within months of each other....that's so sad that they experienced two losses within a year in both cases.
