Subject: Origins: The White Captive, (also Olban, Albin)

Can anyone offer some history on the tune "The White Captive". Vance Randolph has it as "Her White Bosom Bare", other names that come up are "Olban", "Young Alban", and "Young Alban and Amanda". I have lyrics, but am curious as to origin.

Thanks heaps.
