Kim: I have two sources of info on the Jacob Good/Elizabeth Gerber Family. The first (which lists his children and their spouses) is titled "History and Genealogical Record of the Good and Hileman Families of Pennsylvania and Other States of the Union". Not sure of the publish date, but appears to be about 1912 based on the preamble. It was published by the Altoona Times Company, of Altoona, PA. The book is available for downloading off the net, I believe I found this on Archive.org The second (which lists the wife of Jacob Good) is a Gerber/Garber/Garber genealogy that has numerous footnotes, listing wills, deeds, etc.). I can't seem to find who the author was at this time, but it is very well researched. When you look at the warrant maps for the townships I noted, geography helps confirm the information contained in the 1912 resource. I don't have a copy of Jacob's will (if it exists), which would help confirm this info. But these are my sources.

I have Anna Good marrying Jacob Huber/Hoover. I have ample documentation on this pairing. Moving into unproven but suspected territory, I have had Anna's parents as Jacob Good & Elizabeth Gerber. If these are not her parents, do you have any idea who might be?

Jacob moved his family from Warwick Township to Frederick County (now Washington County), Maryland about 1767, where he died in 1797 (I had previously researched this Good family). Jacob and Elizabeths?s children were as follows: 1.. Anna Good married Peter Longnecker. Peter was likely the brother (or cousin) of Rev. Christian Longnecker, who led the White Oak Land congregation per Morgan Edwards. 2.. John Good married a Susan ??, and moved to Perry County, OH. His son Jacob may have lived in Somerset County, PA. 3.. Elizabeth Good married Joseph Long. Joseph was German Baptist, and purchased Jacob Good?s property in Frederick County. Joseph?s brother Isaac has historical significance. Isaac?s barn was used in 1767 for a revival led by Philip Otterbein and Martin Boehm, the founders of the United Brethren denomination. 4.. Barbara Good married Peter Witmer, son of immigrant Ulrich Witmer. They lived on a farm near Elizabethtown, in Lancaster County. 5.. Jacob Good married a Mary Bosley, ended up in Cambria County where he died on his farm that overlooks Johnstown, PA, my home town. 6.. Mary Good married Christian Hershey. The exact parentage of Christian is speculative, but he is tied to the Hershey family of this region. A Christian Hershey lived very close to Jacob Good in Warwick Township 7.. Catherine Good married Peter Newcomer, who is likely the Peter Newcomer born in Manor Township. Manor Township was also home to a number of Witmer?s. 8.. Christian Good and his wife Barbara moved to Washington County, MD and are buried on the family farm with his parents. 9.. Abraham Good owned property adjacent his brother Jacob in Cambria County. The property was adjacent the Stonycreek River. John Stouder Sr. & Jr. had warrants for property along the Stonycreek River in what is now Cambria County, which was near a number of German Baptists who settled in Cambria County, including Peter Morgan. This was in very close proximity to the Good properties. The Stouder?s immigrated to Ohio by 1820, where David Stouder the brother of John Sr. had earlier founded the Obannon German Baptist church in 1795. ------------------------ Search the Archives at http://archiver.rootsweb.com/th/index/BRETHREN ------------------------ ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to BRETHREN-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message

Bill, What is the title of the book you mention below about Gerber/Garber genealogy?
