Research Notes:
We are researching, primarily, the family of Peter Good (born 1665), perhaps the brother of this Jacob Good (born 1657).
1727 Peter Guth/Good immigrated in 1727 on the Molly. [14]
1719 Jonanness Guth [15] and Jacob Guth [16] were listed as arriving in Lancaster County.
Jane Evans Best [17] suggests that brothers Jacob (GA1) and Hans (GA2), settled in Upper Leacock Township, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania in 1718, and their cousin Peter (GC), settled in 1727.
