Jacob Graff

This Jacob Graff signed the administration release for the will of Peter Good (GC) along with Hans Musselman, Jacob Good (GC2), Christian Good (GC3), and Peter Good (GC7). (1)

All of these other signers represent heirs who are mentioned in the will. Jacob, Christian, and Peder Gut are sons of Peder, and Hans is the husband of his daughter Anna.

Jacob Graff probably represents one (or perhaps more) of the other heirs. Those would be the children of Peder's daughter Nancy, his daughters Barbara and Susanna, and his son Henrich.

This raises the possibility that Jacob Graff was married to one of Peder's daughters. If he was married to Nancy, he may well have been the father of her children.

The remaining possiblity is that Jacob Graff is representing Peder's son Henry, perhaps because he is still under 16.
