Thread Name: Origins: Mattie Groves - What year?
Subject: RE: Mattie Groves - What year?
Just found a reference to a Musgrove in a different song.
Johnny Armstrongs last goodnight
Printed around 1711, supposedly about events of 1528.
Towards the end, the page Musgrove is the last survivor of the fight, and takes the news to Armstrong's wife. Probably nothing to do with the other song - but you never know.
