My Pecht connection is Leah Pecht, wife of Finley Strunk, married 1840. From what I found on ancestry.com, she was the daughter of Frederick Pecht (1795-26 Mar 1880-US Fed Census Mortality Records 1850-1880) and Sarah Crissman (5 Mar 1795-5 Nov 1880-same as above record for death) of Mifflin Co., PA. My Finley Strunk and wife Leah were the parents of 10 kids, Elizabeth Ann Strunk my ancestor. She married James Knox Polk Aultz 12 Aug 1866; they had 5 kids, Adam Finley Aultz my ancestor. Fin (as he was known) married Anna Mary Wright in 1892 and they had 9 kids, Sarah Elizabeth Aultz (my grandma). Does any of this sound familiar to you?
