Mary Goose - Related to Mother Goose - Buried in Granary Burying Ground, Boston

I know where Mary Goose is buried. Actually, the story goes like this; Mary Balstan was married to Isaac Goose and they had children, but Mary died. She was the one buried in the Granary Burying Ground. Isaac remarried a woman named Elizabeth and they had some children. One daughter was named Elizabeth as well. This daughter Elizabeth married Thomas Fleet and they had a child. The grandmother, Elizabeth Goose, was ecstatic, and sang ditties and came up with melodies for children to sing to her grandson. Some people got irritated at her singing, but her son-in-law, Thomas Fleet, took her songs and put them in a book. The book was published many years later and we know them as the original Mother Goose rhymes. But Mary Goose is the one who is buried in Granary Burying Ground, not Elizabeth. So you can see Mary's grave if you visit there. Her claim to fame is that she was married to the man who later married the real Mother Goose.
    We visited the Granary Burying Ground in Boston last week. A few other famous people were buried there. Paul Revere, Samuel Adams, John Hancock, and those killed in the Boston Massacre are all buried in Granary Burying Ground. We found out the Mary Goose is also buried here. Here is a web site that explains who she is and what she did: Celebrate Boston - Mother Goose
