Peter Goode

Peter Good (GX) is a working alias for the land holder Peter Goode named in survey (8) and in the subsequent patent to Peter Groff (12). The purpose of this alias is to maintain historical accuracy until some positive identification (such as a signature) of this land holder can be found.

1735 Oct 23: Peter Goode warrants 100 acres that adjoin the home of Hans Groff at Groff's Spring. It is surveyed just seven days later on Oct 30. (8)

1737 Apr 29: Peter Goode sells his 100 acres to Peter Groff. (12)

1738 Dec 16: Peter Groff patents the 100 acres he bought from Peter Goode. (12)

Open Question ?? Is Peter Good (GC) the land holder named in survey (8) or patent (12)? Copies of both documents allow, but do not confirm, that possibility. If someone reading this has the original 1737 deed from Peter Goode to Peter Groff for this land or a photocopy with a Peter Goode signature, please let me know, so that we can determine whether Peter Good (GC) did or did not sign this deed. You can reach me through the email link above the date at the bottom of the left column of this page. -- 2013 Nov 19
