Descendants of Johan Adam, Peter, Nicholas and Mathias Gift

We are looking for information about the Gift family from Germany. Our information tracks the direct line of Johan Adam Gift. He and his brothers came to Pennsylvania in the early 1700's. His line continues to James William Gift who settled in the southeastern part of Kansas after he married Katharine Maderer in Hampshire, Ill. We have hit a blank wall going back before the immigration to the United States.
If you should have any information regarding the GIFT family in the United States or Europe I would really like to hear from you. Thank you very much.
