TY for replies.

It's interesting to me (regarding question 1) that the same (or very similar) version found by Gardiner in Hampshire was found in Virginia, West Virginia, and Pennsylvania by Cox, Davis, Bayard and others. Also a similar version was collected by Karpeles in Newfoundland in 1929. Peacock later got another Newfoundland version.

As for the identity of the "pretty fair maid" in the Gardiner (Bayard) versions--perhaps someone can clear this up. Also the Marble stone- I assume "washing" and "buried under" are two uses-- but what do they mean? What clarity can be added from Child 42?

Tradsinger- listed to your version- nice modal harmonies and singing. TY for sharing that. How does the Enos White version tie into the Hampshire group?
