Welcome to the family genealogical site dedicated to the descendants of Wilhelm Wurtz, who was born about 1703 in the Tauberbischofsheim, Baden area of Germany. He came to America September 23, 1753 on the ship Neptune to Philadelphia Pennsylvania. With him was his wife Anna Catharina, sons, Wilhelm, Jr., Philip Peter Virtzs, Conrad Wirtz and daughter Maria Elisabeth Virtz. He settled in Loudoun County Virginia about 1767 near Lovettsville. Many of Wilhelm's descendants left Loudoun County for the Roanoke area of Virginia, Ohio, Iowa, Illinois and Missouri. Over the years the spelling of the last name has taken on many variations such as Verts, Vertz, Virts, Virtz, Werts, Wertz, and Wirts.
