Not sure, but the first edition of the  book containing Jessie's Hornpipe 
said of (J.H.) as a footnote "Collected in Banff and Aberdeenshire" (or words to 
that effect: I always assumed that implied that Miss M. had collected it - but 
maybe a minion or acolyte passed it to her?
    Broadly speaking, however, you are quite right: C. Sharp's collecting 
activities both here and in America set him way apart from Miss M. in that 
context.
