Old Mother Goose, When she wanted to wander, Would ride through the air On a very fine gander. Jack's mother came in, And caught the goose soon, And mounting its back, Flew up to the moon. Many people believe that the real Mother Goose was actually the second wife of Isaac Goose, who lived in Boston, Massachusetts during the 17th century. Mary Goose, who died 1690 at age 42 is buried in Boston’s Granary Burying Ground located on Tremont Street. She brought her six children into the marriage to join the ten children he already had. It is believed that after Isaac died, Elizabeth moved in with her oldest daughter, who lived on Pudding Lane and was married to Thomas Fleet. Fleet, a publisher, finally gathered all of his mother-in-law’s songs and rhymes and published them. (source: rhymes.org.uk/index.htm)
