A Guide to the Papers of D. Saylor Good

This is a guide to the Papers of D. Saylor Good which primarily contains correspondence. Good wrote letters to members of his extended family throughout the country in an effort to trace the following ancestors: William Good (Guth, Goode), Jacob Good, Susannah Good Coffman (Kaufman) and Abraham Good. Good maintained copies of the letters he sent as well as those he received in return to his inquiries. In some cases, correspondence between him and his family members continued for a number of years. In addition to relatives, Good also wrote many Clerks of Court offices in Virginia and other states in an effort to locate various documents, such as wills and deeds. The collection also includes news clippings (primarily of obituaries, but also containing marriage notices and other family news), and greeting cards and postcards that Good received throughout the years.
