1813 Peter Good and John Burkhart made an inventory of the estate of Jacob Good, on April 3.
[Photocopy, Inventory of Jacob Good's estate, page 1.]
[Photocopy, Inventory of Jacob Good's estate, page 2.]
1813 John, Samuel, Jacob, and Christian Good each received £84.8.3 in specie of gold and silver coin current in Pennsylvania as their shares of the estate of their father, Jacob Good, on April 3. [73]
1813 Veronica Good received, on July 7, £99.16.8 in specie of gold and silver coin as her share of the estate of her deceased husband Jacob Good. His will was said to be dated 7 Nov 1811, proved on 3 April 1813, and approved by the Orphans' Court on 9 June 1813. [74]
1820 Samuel Good (age 26-45) lived in Brecknock Twp, Lancaster County, with a female (age 45+), perhaps his widowed mother, Veronica. [75]
1825 Veronica Good, Jacob's second wife and widow, left money to her only son Samuel in her will. She mentioned her 3 step-sons John, Christian and Jacob Guth (children of Jacob by his first wife) in her will dated 15 January, 1825 with probate date October 10, 1831. [76]
1830 Samuel Good (no male was listed in the household) lived in Brecknock Twp, Lancaster County with female (age 60-70), perhaps his widowed mother, Veronica. [77]
1831 The will of Feronica Guth was probated. [78]
1860 Son Samuel died unmarried and documents from his estate [see Samuel's notes] clarify the names of several descendants of this Jacob Good, including children of son Jacob Good. [79] [80] [81]
Research Notes:
It is difficult to know precisely which of the notes shown here relate to this Jacob Good, son of Christian Good. Uncle Jacob Good and his son, cousin Jacob Good (who also had a wife Veronica), also lived in Brecknock Twp during the same period. However, the deeds dated 1784-1802 document that this Jacob Good was living in Brecknock Twp, Lancaster County, during that period, while uncle Jacob Good died in 1777 and cousin Jacob moved away in 1795. [82] Jacob Good, son of Christian, was named in several deeds, sometimes as a farmer, but never as a stiller or weaver, so we suspect that the tax records for Jacob, stiller or weaver, were a different Jacob Good, perhaps Jacob's cousin.
1798 Jacob Good and John Good were listed with adjacent households in the direct tax for Donegal Twp, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Brecknock Twp is adjacent to Berks County, while Donegal Twp is adjacent to York County. The people listed in Donegal do not match the residents of Brecknock Twp. Jacob Good in Donegal was taxed in the same years as Jacob Good of Brecknock, so we conclude that they were different people. We seek the U. S. direct tax record for Brecknock Twp, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.
Jacob Good Sr was named as the grandfather of Jacob B Good, born 1817, and as the descendant of Christal Good of Switzerland. [83]
Several sources list Jacob's spouse with name Magdalena.
Who was Magdalena, first wife of Jacob Good? Some researchers incorrectly report Magdalena, daughter of Jacob Frey Oberholtzer and Barbara Kilhefer, as the first spouse of Jacob Good, perhaps through misinterpretation of a Mennonite record abstract of a deed which suggests that John Oberholtzer got his plantation from his siblings, including: … Barbara (wife) & John Heiger, Veronica (wife) & Jacob Good and Magdalena (wife) & Jacob Weaver. The correct interpretation is that Veronica Oberholtzer was the wife of Jacob Good and that Magdalena Oberholtzer was the wife of Jacob Weaver. An incorrect interpretation would be that Jacob Good had wife Magdalena Oberholtzer. [86]
C Mervin Mellinger's genealogy of Hans Ulrich Huber suggested that Mary Huber, daughter of Hans Ulrich Huber, might have been Jacob's spouse. The ancestry, not shown here, through Hans Ulrich Huber, for Jacob's spouse is speculative.
