So, for example, a housekeeper and laundress like Ann was was called a Goodwife. "Goody" was simply a short version of Goodwife. Today Ann is usually referred to as "Goody" Glover, and there is even a Goody Glover day, as I understand it, in Boston. The day honors her memory and the injustice done to her. I would have to think that the large number of Irish Americans in Boston had an influence on politics in Boston to recognize this Irish Catholic victim of prejudice and a witch hunt. But that is just my guess.Adrian McGrathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15742801283531896407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6826759226389627559.post-14609271171428151192017-11-24T06:18:05.715-06:002017-11-24T06:18:05.715-06:00How did "Goodwife" happen to become part...How did "Goodwife" happen to become part of her name?
