He came to America September 23, 1753 on the ship Neptune to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, with his wife Anna Catharina, sons, Wilhelm Wurtz, Jr., Philip Peter Virtzs, Conrad Wirtz and daughter Maria Elisabeth Wurtz. He was naturalized on April 10, 1761 in Philadelphia and was living in the Lancaster, Lehigh Valley area of Pennsylvania. His journey took him to Frederick County Maryland and Loudoun County Virginia where he settled around 1767 near Lovettsville. His descendants migrated from Loudoun County to 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.
