Peter Good came to America on the ship Molly, arriving Sept. 30, 1727. He had 4 wives and eight children. His two oldest children immigrated on August 11, 1732, on the ship Samuel. The third fourth, and fifth children probably came in 1727 with their father and his second wife. His will was probated 23 Dec 1754. The will was witnessed by his 3 older sons, his oldest daughter's husband, and __Graff. (Perhaps his 3rd wife's father.) Lancaster Court House Deed B-581, GG 293, 1.

The will states: "my heirs . . .from the first wife which is Anna, Jacob, and Christian . . ."

DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Peter by comparing test results with other carriers of his Y-chromosome or his mother's mitochondrial DNA.
However, there are no known yDNA or mtDNA test-takers in his direct paternal or maternal line.
It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Peter:
Gut-98 and Gut-81 do not represent the same person because: These are two different Peter Gut (Good)s who emigrated to Lancaster Co from different places and lived there at the same time. One was in Martic Township and he is buried there; the other one (mine) lived in Brecknock Township, and is buried there. This Peter came from Immalhousen and had 3 wives and children with each.
Gut-98 and Gut-81 do not represent the same person because: Two separate people - one direct from Switzerland, one from Switzerland to Germany first. Lived in different parts of Lancaster Co, had different wives, different children, different burial spots!
They were born in different places in different years. They were married to different women. Do not merge. Ancestry is not a reliable source: I would go to the originals when they are provided (PA Supreme Court, Passenger and immigration lists, etc)
