I'm from Southeast Texas-- Orange, Texas--cajun country,
where there are bukuz of us who, in the fifties, used
_ Y'all_ for the plural, and some few who used
_all of you_ for the plural. Still fewer were
occasionally heard to say _all of y'all_ and
_all of y'all's_. I occasionally here it hear in
central Texas, and I did once hear _all of Y'all guys'_
--a triple plural possessive.
