Looking for colonial church records for this surname.

Johannes Bentzel arrived in Philadelphia from Germany in 1749. He appears in Lower Smithfield, PA in 1761 with son Henry Pensil who joins the militia in 1763. I don't know where the family was located between these dates.

Specifically, I would like the marriage record of Henry and Sallie/Sarah c1768-9 and the baptismal records of their children Catherine, Henry Jr, John, Joseph and Hannah born c1770-1778. This family appears in Wyoming Valley, PA in 1772.
