General Notes: Husband - Jacob Good


He was probably a descendant of Hans Good (Guth), who settled south of Conestoga Creek in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. There were Guths in Brecknock township, Lancaster County, as early as 1711, and there is no doubt that it was from that locality Jacob Good (Guth) removed to western Maryland. The land he purchased in 1765 comprised Good's Choice, with an area of 163 acres, originally embraced in Skipton-on-Craven, and Luck, a tract of 100 acres, formerly included in the Resurvey of Well Taught. He lived in a log house that stood on the banks of the Little Antietam; on the other side of the creek was a sawmill in operation as early as 1772. Mr. Good eventually owned 350 acres of land embracing these improvements at the confluence of Little Antietam with Antietam, and there he resided until 1787, when he sold the estate to Joseph Long, his son-in-law, and removed to Huckleberry Hall, a tract several miles distant in the valley of the Little Antietam. There he died in 1797.
