Research Notes:
This Peter Good, son of Christian, and his uncle Peter Good [86], son of Peter, may have been born about the same time and both may have lived in Brecknock Twp during the same period. We seek clarification about distinguishing records of these two men.
"A saw-mill, situated on Muddy Creek, a short distance below the Dry Tavern, was originally built by Abraham Bixler, Esq., who died there in 1847. After his death George Martin built the present grist- and saw-mill, now owned by Peter B. Good" [87]
1779 Peter Good was assessed double taxes as a nonjuror (non-supporter of the revolution). [88]
If Peter, first taxed as a freeman in 1787 and Jacob in 1792 were sons of Peter, then this suggests that they were born about 1766 and 1771, respectively.
