Colonial records for PENSEL

Classification: Query
Surnames: PENSEL, BENTZEL, PENCIL, BENSIL
Looking for baptismal and marriage records for the period between 1749 and 1778 for the PENSEL family. Surname spelling have been Bentzel, Benzel, Bensil, Pensil, Pencil, Pensyl, etc.

Family arrived in Philadelphia c.1749, appear in Lower Smithfield, PA on the Delaware River near the Water Gap in 1761/63 and then in Wyoming Valley, PA between 1772-1778. I am specifically looking for the marriage of Henry and Sallie/Sarah Pensel and the baptism of their children Catherine, Henry Jr, John, Joseph and Hannah. Marriage was c 1768/9. Children were born between 1770-1778.
