 HEINRICH GUTH

Henry Good (Guth) was born December 10, 1764. He is the earliest reference to our line in the Good family that I have located so far. It is possible that he is the immigrant ancestor. He was in the Nockamixon, Bucks Co. area in 1787, 1788, and 1805 when at least three of his children were born. Henry Good married Catherine Barbara Schick, daughter of Michael Schick & Margaret Guth Schick, about 1786 in Nockamixon Church, Bucks Co., PA.. They are buried in the cemetery at Durham, Bucks Co. PA. (Frackenthal, p.87, Easton Library) lists their tombstone inscriptions as: 
Guth, Henry                                     Guth, Catherine
Dec. 10,1764                                      wf Heinrich Good
May 7, 1829  age 64-4-27                        Mar. 2, 1761
                                                Apl. 18, 1839  78-1-16



 I located these graves in 1995,  photos of them are in my files.

     Henry and Catherine Good  were the parents of  John Good, Sr.  whose baptism
 record  is  recorded at Nockamixon church as  follows.
      p.15.  John, born  1787, Feb. 2, bap.  March 11 
                 parents              Henry Guth & Catherine
                 sponsors            John Kohl & (Molly)

       This John Good is my direct line ancestor.

Catherine,s  maiden name was  SCHICK, as is stated  in the  baptism  record of their  daughter Magdalena.  
Further research located the  baptism record of Catherine Barbara Schick  at the Tohickon Reformed Congregation 
in Bedminster twp., Bucks Co., PA. Catherine's  parents are Michael and Margaret Schick.
The  sponsor at her baptism  was  Catherine Barbara German.

GEORGE GUTH

George Guth was born about 1765 and died 14 Oct 1853. He and his wife are buried in the Old Union Cemetery, Stone Church, Upper Mount Bethel twp., Northampton Co., Pennsylvania.  He married Catherine Brodt (a daughter of Paulus Brodt and his wife Maria Barbara Miller), 9 Dec 1802 in Easton, Northampton Co. PA. Catherine was born 30 Jun 1775 in Lower Saucon twp., Northampton Co. PA. She died 26 Feb 1856 and is buried in Old Union Cemetery, Stone Church, Upper Mount Bethel twp., Northampton Co., PA. It seems likely that this George is a brother to our Heinrich Guth, father of John, who came to Lower Mount Bethel, Northampton Co. PA. 
Their marriage is recorded in the Forks of the Delaware book,  available at the 
Easton Library.
