There is a story (possibly fictional) that Ms. Trollope caused such offense in the US that her last name was the inspiration for the word 'trollop', which is an archaic term for prostitute in the American vernacular of English.

Can anyone confirm this?

Trollop (no 'e') seems to be an old word, derived from trull, a medieval term for prostitute. Bastie 04:03, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Did she ever live at Nashoba?

According to the Wik/en Hygieia article and the Wik/de FT articles, FT lived at Hygieia. The Wik/en Nashoba article does not say that she LIVED at Nashoba. Kdammers (talk) 10:16, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
