What is the original German/Swiss spelling of our last name: "Coots" or "Kutz"?

There is more to write on this topic. Until then, people may feel welcome to comment on this topic.
Here are a couple hints written by some of our ancestors themselves:

Above: 1749 Signature on his will, written from his deathbed, this was JNKI's (Johann Nicholas Kutz I's) handwriting.
Above: One Jacob Kutz's signature, 1732, as he arrived in Philadelphia on ship called "Plaisance." The type of ship was a "Pink."
