Did you get the 10 page letter? Hopefully in the years that have past you have, although I don't think that there is anything there you don't already have.
I would be interested in your information to the effect that Philip was the son of John and Elizabeth (nee Seiffert) and that John was the son of the Andrew who came over on the Phoenix in 1749. I have this information also, but I have not found anything in the Goshenhoppen Registers that confirms any of this.
The original spelling of the family name has always been kind of a contentious matter, at least in my branch of the family. The priests at Goshenhoppen spelled it G-R-E-T, G-R-E-T-T, C-R-E-D, and G-R-E-A-T. I've also seen it spelled (by others) C-R-E-T-E, but by 1830 the name is spelled C-R-A-T-E, at least in the census records. (There is a branch decended from one of Ambrose's sons that has added an S to the name.)
