He was also an Irishman. ]]> 2016-03-29 23:03:59 UTC https://padlet.com/18tweeddalea/4opo0ijvsq15/wish/103148780 18tweeddalea https://padlet.com/18tweeddalea/4opo0ijvsq15/wish/103151273 Jonathan Swift had a sister named Jane. ]]> 2016-03-29 23:40:45 UTC https://padlet.com/18tweeddalea/4opo0ijvsq15/wish/103151273 18tweeddalea https://padlet.com/18tweeddalea/4opo0ijvsq15/wish/103151366 His mother, Abigail Erick, left Jonathan and his sister in the care of their relatives so that she could go back to her own family in Leicester, England without her children.
