I am seeking a couple of details about about Margot Mayo, who founded and headed the American Square Dance Group in New York in the 1940s. I know she was a grade school teacher, folklorist, collector of folk music, and cousin of Kentucky banjo player Rufus Crisp. I know she later was a music producer.

Here are my questions:

I believe she was born in Ohio. True? What locality?

I believe she played tenor banjo with her square dance group. True?

Any other pertinent details useful for a capsule biography?

Thanks,

Bob
