What's the Possessive of Y'all?

No I've never heard it used as singular (what 'ye' is for, which by the way is not archaic, or is not the same as the archaic ye).
From there the possessive is straight-forward: y'all's like children's, men's.
Then again Martha's pronouncing [ye-all-ses] does sound too natural to fight, though obviously that calls for 2 s's back to back which is too hard to make sense of by me.

"Yall's" wins in Central GA.
