Subject: RE: Origins: Captain Kidd shape note melody
The hymn writer and the people commenting on it may not have known it by the same name - widening the search to include "Jack Hall" might help. So would a theme code search - the National Tune Index includes American 18th century sources, but I think it cuts off sharp at 1800. Maybe there's a follow-on I don't know about?
