     Note: In the early colonial records of New England, the term
           goodman is frequently used as a title of designation,
           sometimes in a respectful manner, to denote a person
           whose first name was not known, or when it was not
           desired to use that name; in this use it was nearly
           equivalent to {Mr.} This use was doubtless brought with
           the first settlers from England.
           [1913 Webster]
