The tune comes from the playing of Fauquier County, Virginia, fiddler John Ashby (1915-1979), a member of an old Virginia family whose roots date back to the 17th century in the state. There were several musicians in his immediate family; his father and grandfather as well as several uncles played music. Ashby's band, The Free State Ramblers, was formed in the 1930's and named for a political uprising in his region of Virginia. The title "Sherburn's Breakdown" honors Sherburn Farm, a historic landmark in Fauquier County west of Warrenton and the someplace of John's branch of the Ashby family, deeded to his grandfather Nimrod Ashby around 1840. Ashby was born in three in 1915.

-The title was published by Playford in his '''Musick's Recreation''' (1669), however, the melody earlier appeared in Playford's '''Musick's Hand-Maid''' (1663) as the generically-title "A Scotish [sic] March."  William Stenhouse, in his '''Illustrations''' to the '''Scots Musical Museum''' (p. 197), opined "the second strain contains a redundant bar which spoils the measure". It is the ancestral melody for a widespread and varied tune family found throughout Britain and Ireland, and was also imported to North America<ref>See Prof. Samuel Bayard's remarks on the tune family in '''Dance to the Fiddle, March to the Fife''', 1981.</ref>. One of its more famous derivatives is "[[Rock and a Wee Pickle Tow (A)]]," which appeared in Joseph Mitchell's opera '''Highland Fair; or, A Union of the Clans''' (1731), later printed in London publisher James Oswald's '''Curious Collection of Scots Tunes''' (1739). See also the distanced derivative "[[Old Woman Tossed Up in a Blanket (4)]]."
