William Good of Earl tp.
Earl tp. tax records:
William Good, 1750-1782, 100A (missing '71; place '80-81; with Watson '82)
William Good, 1777, freeman (Wm Good son '77)
Edward Good, 1769-1783, inmate (freeman '69-80; with parents '72-75; Wm Good son '77)
ANALYSIS: William Good can be definitively tracked through tax and land records. His estate records identify all children. William Good was clearly English-speaking, although several of his daughters married men of German descent. William Good named Robert Good of Caernarvon tp. as one of his executors. These two men are certainly linked but more likely as brothers than father-son. Robert first appears as a freeman in Salisbury tp. in 1756. He could be the oldest son of William, but since he is not named as such in William's last will & testament, I think otherwise. Further research is necessary.
William Good's male heirs disappear from tax records by 1785. I presume that they relocated; however, I have made no effort to find them.
