I have a question about a woman's name which might be descriptive or maybe a noun. Other than with reference to mules or donkeys (and I think that's spelled jenny?), has anyone out there heard of historical period women being referred to as "Jennies"? Anyone know if "Jennie" was a slang or common word for perhaps a female servant, or was commonly applied to women who had no last name, circa 1860? Kinda like Jane Doe?
