Here is a copy of my 7th great grandfather's handwriting of his own name in 1749.
His name was Johann Nicholas Kutz. -Or the way he spelled his name here, Nücklaus Kutz (1690-1749).
He wrote this on this deathbed in German. (It's translated to English below his writing, half-way down the page).
He came to settle in America between 1719 and 1729, near Kutztown, Pennsylvania. He was a farmer and owned over 500 acres by the time he died. His wife was Anna Catharina Grimm (1695-1769.)
They had 6 children. He and his wife are most likely buried in this family field cemetery near Kutztown.
