Balis Ritchie was Jean Ritchie’s father.
Loraine Wyman collected Appalachian and Canadian folk songs in the early 20th century.
Jethro Amburgey was a prolific and influential dulcimer maker.
Bristol Taylor was a dulcimer maker, farmer and poet. I have not found any significant references to him or his work.

Hey Doug,
I repaired a Bristol Taylor lap dulcimer in 2007, how peculiar is that?
Doug Berch
Very peculiar, and pretty cool too! Was it an interesting instrument?
