There are tales that the original Mother Goose was the wife of an Isaac Goose (sometimes thought to be named Vergoose or Vertigoose), either named Elizabeth Foster Goose (1665-1758) or Mary Goose (d. 1690, age 42) in Boston Massachusetts. There is no evidence to support these tales and some evidence for other origins of the name Mother Goose.
