Odd. Those two accents are so different, but I see what you mean. I always focus on the heavy scotish sounds in the Tidewater. They nearly sound Canadian.
But, trust me, there are no upper crust women left in Tidewater Virginia. They got wiped out during reconstruction - the coastal S. VA aristocracy is now living in trailer parks and still farming pigs & peanuts. If she's from that Norfolk/VA Beach/Suffolk/Smithfield area and says she's upper crust, she's either delusional or a Yankee transplant 3-5 generations back (i.e.: definitely not upper crust, but not delusional just ignorant).
