Richie	Origins: James Madison Carpenter- Child Ballads 3 (135* d)	RE: Origins: James Madison Carpenter- Child Ballads 3	10 Jul 18
Hi Brian, There are six Hicks/Harmon/Presnell versions with the herb/flower refrains-- all from the same family- three have the resuscitation stanzas (and another resuscitation version is from Jane Gentry's daughter, Maud Long, with additional stanzas of Jane Gentry's version). I've traced them back to Big Sammy Hicks from Fannie Hicks and separately from Council Harmon, who was Jane Gentry's grandfather and briefly lived with her. Council's son was the father of Samuel Harmon who moved to Tennessee. Council lived with Big Sammy when he was a child and his father was killed by a tree when Counce was about 7. His mother Sabra Hicks couldn't take care of her children and they stayed with Big Sammy, Richie
