Perusing, my huge collection of old folk music magazines recently, I came across a long article by Frank Warner on Frank Proffitt in Sing Out! Vol. 13, No. 4 October-November 1963. It includes all the information about the early collecting that Frank & Anne did with the Hicks/Proffitt families, making of banjos and how Tom Dooley came to a wider audience and the impact on Frank Proffitt etc. etc.

It is too long to include here but I made .jpgs and a text scan of the pages to send to Gerret and Jeff and would send it to anyone with a particular interest in this if they send me a PM with their email addresses.
