Paul de Grae notes that O'Neill's "All Hands Around" is a variant of "Lady Mary Ramsey (2)" AKA "Queen's Shilling (The), and that it is related to Boston publisher Elias Howe's "Lady Gordon's Reel (3)"[1]. See also Irish ms. versions as "Miss Betty Ramsey's Reel" (Grier) and "Lady Ramsey's Reel" (Donnellan).
