Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual.

Barger, George – unknown – Mark Laudenslager identifies him as working in Limestone Township, but no county is given."

Beerstecher, G.F. – ca. 1860 – Lewisburg – Possibly the same as Frederick Beerstecher

Boyer, George – 1855 – Jackson Township, Snyder Co. He was listed as a gunsmith in 1855 but none of his guns have ever been identified.  There have also been suggestions that a Daniel Boyer also worked in Snyder County, but no evidence has yet been found to verify this information.

Another G. B. Is George Bean, not sure anyone knows what his guns looked like.
