c 1734 Henry Good was born about this time since he was already age 21 when he was taxed as a freeman in 1756.
1756 Henry Good was taxed at Brecknock Twp as a freeman. John Good was also taxed, as were two unnamed sons of Jacob Good. [1] Uncle Henry Good was living in Rapho township at this time, perhaps.
1757 Henry Good was taxed as a freeman in Brecknock Twp, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. [2]
1758 John Good and Henry Good [perhaps sons of Christian, deceased] were taxed as freemen with their parents in Brecknock Twp, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. [3] [4] [5]
1759 Henry Good was taxed in Brecknock Twp, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. [6] [7] [8] [9]
1769 The heirs of Christian Good sold land from Christian's estate to Henry Good on May 27. The land had been patented on February 2, 1761 to the sons and daughters of Christian Good, deceased [10]. [11]
1769 Henery Good was taxed in Brecknock Twp, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. [12]
1769 Henry and Christina Good were named as heirs of Christian Good in a deed between Henry's mother, Magdalena, and his oldest brother, John. [13] [14]
1769 Christina Good was named as the spouse of Henry Good and as a daughter of John Martin Amweg, late of Rapho Twp, Lancaster County, in a deed involving the estate of John Martin Amweg. The deed was dated August 28. [15]

1773 Henry Good was taxed in Brecknock Twp, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania for 100 acres 2 horses and 2 cattle. [18]
1775 Two or three Henry Goods were taxed in Brecknock Twp, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Henry Good (uncle Henry, son of Peter) was taxed as a carpenter. [19] Henry Good was taxed. [20] [21] Henry Good was listed once as a freeman, but Henry was ony listed once on the corresponding freeholder listing. [22]
1776 Henry Good was taxed in Brecknock Twp, Lancaster County. [23]
1778-1780 The names of several son and sons-in-law of Christian Good appeared on a list of fines (cash received of delinguents for non-performance of militia duty and exercise) in Lancaster County [24] in Col. David Jenkin's Battalion [25]: Michael Wenger; Henry, Jacob, and Peter Good; Christian Swartz [26]; Henry Good [27]; Samuel, Peter, Jacob, Christian Good; and George Klopper.
1780 Henry Good was taxed in Brecknock Twp, Lancaster County, as was (uncle) Henry Good, carpenter. [28]
1781 Henry Good was taxed in Brecknock Twp, Lancaster County. There were two listings. All of the Good listings indicated that the "Oath" was not taken. [29]
1782 Henry Good was taxed in Brecknock Twp, Lancaster County as a miller. Henry Good, carpenter, was also taxed (Henry the carpenter was uncle Henry, brother of Christian). [30] A transcription lists three Henry Goods who were taxed in Brecknock Twp, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. [31] There was only one listing for Henry Good between 1783-88 in Brecknock township, several of them, perhaps all, were for Henry carpenter, suggesting that this Henry Good moved away from Brecknock Twp about 1783. [32] [33] [34] [35] [36] Only Henry Good, carpenter, was listed in the septennial cnesus for Brecknock Twp in 1786 [37] but Henry was listed as an inmate [38].
1782 Henry and wife Christina Good, of Brecknock Twp, Lancaster County, sold land, in Brecknock Twp, Lancaster County, to (brother-in-law) John Jones. Dated September 28. On May 27, 1769, the sons and daughters of Christian Good had granted the land, which was part of two tracts of the estate to Henry Good [39]. [40]
1783 Heinrich Gut, son of Christian Gut, and Maria, daughter of Christian Weber, were married on October 24. [41] Mallindine/Magdalena Weber has also been reported as Henry's spouse, married on October 21. The marriage was recorded by John Waldschmidt, who served the Moden Krick church of Cocalico township. [42]
1789 Henry Good was listed as an heir of Christian Good, deceased, in Lancaster County Orphans Court records dated August 5. He was listed as receiving his distribution, so he was apparently living at that time. [43]
Research Notes:
Henry was listed second among the sons of Christian Good both in a deed naming heirs and in orphans court records, suggesting that Henry may been the second eldest son.
Where was Henry after 1782, when he disappeared from the Brecknock tax lists? He sold land in Brecknock Twp in 1782. He was still living in 1789, when he received his distribution from the estate. Henry Good and Maria Weber were married, perhaps in Cocalico Twp in 1783. There are records for Henry Good, carpenter, in Brecknock township who was a brother of Henry's father Christian Good. There are records for Henry Good in Earl township who was perhaps Henry Good spouse of Barbara Meyer. Records for Henry Good of Conestoga Twp start as early as 1779, too early to be this Henry Good. Records for Henry Good of Lampeter Twp start as early as 1781, too early to be this Henry Good. There are also records for Henry Good of Cocalico, and Elizabeth townships. Perhaps Henry moved to Cocalico Twp about 1782.
1785-89 Henry Good was taxed in Cocalico Twp as an inmate. [44] [45] [46]
1791 The name Henry Good was crossed out on the list of inmates in Cocalico Twp. He was not listed among landowners. Perhaps this is related to the land he purchased from Christian Moyer in 1791 (see deed R3-338, dated 1805). [47]
1786 Henry Good was listed on the septennial census as an imate in Cocalico Twp. [48]
1805 Henry Good and wife Mary sold land in Cocalico to Henry Mohler. The land was adjacent to Conrad Brenneisen, Henry Sole, John Weidler, and Jacob Slick. Henry Good had purchased the land in 1791 from Christian Moyer. [49]
1781-86 A different Henry Good was taxed in Lampeter Twp, Lancaster County. [50] [51] [52] [53]
1787 Henry Good of Conestoga Twp, Lancaster County, purchased land from John Kendrick by deed dated September 14. [54]
1791 Henry Good of Conestoga Twp, Lancaster County, foreclosed on land of Isaac Kendrick by deed dated September 16. [55]
Two different men named Henry Good have been conflated by other researchers. Henry Good, who died in 1816, named wife Wallindine/Walbina in his will, and was a son of Peter Good and perhaps his first wife, Fronica Heistand. This Henry Good, son of Christian Good and Magdalena was a different person.
