Here is another answer to your question. No one has mentioned Jean Ritchie. She has a lovely version on her The Most Dulcimer (I think) CD. (I am at work and can't remember which one, but I am pretty sure it is on The Most Dulcumer) She might be a good sorce for its routes and very willing to answer questions. Look up Greenhays or her name on the internet. I would be intersted in the time frame. It sounds Civil Warish but from reading all the responses looks like it could be earlier. I am involved with a living history time period of about 1770 - 1830.
