Family Connection
Our ancestor Peter Good (GC) emigrated in 1727 from Germany to Lancaster county and settled in Earl township. His son Jacob Good (GC2), his daughter Anna and her husband John Musselman followed in 1732. After five years near Weaverland, PA, they and another of Peter's sons, Christian Good (GC3), settled along Muddy Creek near what later would become Bowmansville, PA. (3)
