A document from the early-mid-1700s uses the term "mother-in-law," 
where it APPEARS that "step-mother" would be the term that would be 
used today.  Have others seen this same use of the term "mother-in-
law" on "old" documents?

If the woman in question was actually the grandmother (versus a step-
mother), would "grandmother" have been the expected term in the 
1700s?  Has anyone seen any OTHER term used for "grandmother?"  
Thanks.
