Goodyear Family Notes: "The Pennsylvania General Assembly, in June 1777 passed the first Test Act requiring an Oath of Allegiance to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and renunciation of George III, with severe penalties for non-compliance. Because the Moravians, among whom Frederick was reared, were committed to non-violence and opposed oaths, many suffered greatly, including receiving jail sentences. However, for some, support of the cause of Independence took precedence over religious scruples and many of the young men took the Oath and also entered military service. Frederick and his brother, Ludwick, were among these. They went to Lancaster and took he Oath of Allegiance on 12 June 1778. Their names appear on the roll as "Godfried Gootson" and "Ludwick Gursler." The law required all able-bodied males between 18 and 53 to serve and each militia company was divided into eight classes so that their service could be rotated. Frederick was assigned to the 5th Class of Capt. John Gingery's company in the 9th Battalion, commanded by Col. John Huber, and throughout the years his name appears variously on the roll Goodyear, Goodyahr, Gudjahr, Goodeore, and Gutjahr. In 1780, 1781, and 1782, he remained the 5th Class, but served in the 3d Company commanded by Capt. Henry Custer (Kuster), of the 3rd Battalion, under the command of Lt. Col. George Feather.
