In 1764 Jacob Good (GC2) receives a patent from John Penn for 628 acres along Muddy Creek. (1) In 1766, Jacob divides that homestead between his two sons, Peter (GC21) and Jacob (GC22). This is original deed by which Jacob the son inherits his 329 acres of the original homestead. This deed has original signatures of both Jacob (GC2) the father and Jacob (GC22) the son, and it identifies Jacob (GC2) and Susannah as the parents of Jacob (GC22). It also identifies Peter (GC21) as a son of Jacob (GC2). |
