Jason: I have a John Kretsinger married to Rachel (?) Smutz obtained from a GEDCOM (CD from Family Tree Maker)that contained Abraham Schmutz.Abraham arrived in Philadelphia in 1742 and settled in Lebanon County, PA in 1744.The Schmutz surname has evolved to Smutz, Smootz, Smoots, Smoot through the years.There was no other information on this couple and even the question mark after Rachel indicates uncertainty.Rachel is listed as a daughter of Abraham Smutz (son of Abraham Schmutz)and wife Eva ?. Abraham Jr. and his older brother Mathias migrated to the Shenandoah valley after the Revolution. Abraham Jr. settled at Tom's Brook and Mathias settled at Pugh's Run, near Woodstock, VA.
