Early Good History
I believe some of the information in this section was sent to Phyllis Fulk by Judith Beery Garber (1897-1987). Judith and her father, William Beery (1852-1956), were the authors of:
Beery Family History, by William Beery and Judith Beery Garber, copyright 1957 by Judith Beery Garber, Brethren Publishing House, Elgin, Illinois 1957.
When Phyllis Fulk was gathering information for her 1976 Beery book, Judith sent her a lot of information she had collected on the Goods, including information that Phyllis didn’t need for her book. Judith’s grandmother was Fanny Good Beery (1816-1892), daughter of David Good (1788-?) and Barbara Neiswander (1792-?).
Some of the information about Peter (Gut) Good’s arrival date in America conflicts with the information in the article, Six Good Families of Early Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, by Jane Evans Best and Howard C. Francis, Pennsylvania Mennonite Heritage, July 1989.
On some of the pages there is handwriting that is hard to read. If it is information that you really need, please let me know, and I will try to get the information for you off of my original copy.

At top of this page, Phyllis Fulk wrote, “These sheets from Judith Good Garber”, author Beery History 1957. Phyllis meant to give Judith’s maiden name as Beery. I believe pages 005-039 appear to have been information that Judith complied and sent to Phyllis. Page 5 starts with Peter (Guth) Good, the immigrant, who appears to be the same as the Peter Good on Page 4. |
