their name, the wife of so and so?
or their name, the daughter of so and so?
or did they just say their name
 
Husbands name, followed by "wife" or "wife man" It would later be Goodwife [husbands name] later shortened to Goody [husband name]. The latter term featured prominently in Arthur Millers play The Crucible
