Lighter Origins: Coming Home from the Wake/Nellie Milkmaid (69* d) RE: Origins: Coming Home from the Wake/Nellie Milkmaid 12 Jun 20


U.S. reference (very possible) or coincidence?:

The Lafayette [La.] Advertiser (Feb. 22, 1890), p. 9:

"This well bred trotting stallion, The Knight of Momus, will make his next season...at the stable of J. D. Breaux [etc.]....The Knight of Momus, sired by Seth Warner, Sr., and Nellie the Milkmaid, a Kentucky Messenger mare...."

"Momus" was the minor Greek deity of satire and satirical humor.
