Story by Darlene S Weddle.

One of the first Mennonite settlers in Leitersburg District, Washington County, MD. Jacob came from Lancaster County, PA and is thought to be a descendant of Hans Guth, a Swiss settler south of the Conestoga Creek. In 1765, he purchased "Goods Choice", a tract of land 163 acres and "Luck" a tract of 100 acres. He lived in a log house on the Little Antietam Creek and later added to his holdings the confluence of that creek with the Antietam. On Nov 9, 1787, he sold this plantation to his son-in-law Joseph Long. In 1770, Jacob leased "Huckleberry Hall", a tract of 240 acres on the Little Antietam Creek, which he purchased in 1772. He resided there until his death in Aug 1797. The home located on Charles Mill Road near Ringgold (or Charles Mill near Leitersburg on Durberry Road) is now on the National Register of Historic Places. Some of his children were already married when they moved to MD. His children are known by his will. Washington County Wills Liber A/W 364. In Jacobs will, he provided that his wife Barbara could stay on his plantation as long as she wished and could take everything she had brought into the marriage, and whatever she deemed she would need. His dwelling plantation was to be sold to his son-in-law Joseph Long. His children divided the residue.

During the Revolutionary War, Mennonites were called upon to furnish horses for the Army. The following entry appears in the minutes of the County Committees for Jan 10, 1777:

Whereas, complaint has been made to this committee that no horses have yet been procured in order to draw the cannon for the use of Colonel Stull's battalion: Ordered, that Jacob Good furnish one team for that purpose; in case the said Good can not furnish four horses his own property, that he apply to some neighbor to assist him therein, who is hereby required to be assistive.".

These Mennonite men had paid fines in Washington County by Dec 24, 1776: John Good, Abraham Good, and Christian Good.
