Absolutely correct.
If she's out of state, I think. The world (and the Southern states) are small enough that everyone knows everyone. And whose someone kin to. Can't hide it, so make sure you let people know that you might not go where your kin.

It's like a civil war in Africa; you know, it doesn't really concern you too much. - P.J. O'Rourke
