Notes for Welthi Gut and Anli Meyer

Research Notes:

Evidence about Weld Gutt is given by Jane Best [1]:

In his will dated September 12, 1739, Jacob Good (GB1) of Martic Township, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, mentions his brothers Peter and John Good, three sisters and their husbands, and a son-in-law, Henry Hoover.42

This Peter Good (GB2) is probably the tailor who immigrated to what is now Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, by 1717. A paper pasted in a Bible belonging to his grandson, Peter Good (GB221), mentions that his ancestor was a Heinrich Good of Klonen (Kloten?), Switzerland.43

A Hans Heinich Gut was baptized at Kloten on September 25, 1653, son of Claus Gut and Regel Kung. The parents first appeared on the Kloten church records on March 7, 1648, when a daughter Verena was baptized. Hans Heinrich Gut, son of Claus, was recorded as a sponsor at baptisms at Kloten on November 28,1670, and January 21, 1672. The 1678 census of Kloten shows Hans Heinrich Gut, tailor, living in household 11 with wife Anna Leeinburg and his sister, Regula, baptized July 8,1656. On May 3,1683, Regula Gut was married at Kloten to Wornli Brunner, baptized August 30, 1657, son of Heini Brunner and Anna Wagerman.44

Claus Gutt (B136), a 22-year old servant on the 1634 census of Ottenbach, was probably the Niklaus Gutt who had three children baptized at Kloten between 1648 and 1656. His parents were Melchior Gut (B13) and Vrene Haberling, and his grandparents were Weld Gutt (B1), a tailor in 1559 at Ottenbach, and Anli Meier. The progenitor of this family was Hans Gutt (B), whose three sons lived between 1578 and 1590 at the Meyerhof in Unterlunnern in the parish of Ottenbach.45

We assume that Hans Heinrich Gutt (B1362) was the father of Peter Good (GB2) and his brothers and sisters.
