There are some transcripts of Strassburger and Hinke's Pennsylvania German Pioneers - parts at least - online. Not sure if there's a complete one. I have an ancestor who appears there on the list for the Catherine, 19 October 1772 and then appears in the "Record of Indentures of Individuals Bound Out as Apprentices, Servants, Etc. ... October 3, 1771 to October 5, 1773", Genealogical Publishing Company, 1973, as having been indentured for 2 years on 20 October 1772. Some luck is probably needed, as here, and I know the latter reference isn't the time frame for your ancestor, but this may give you an added clue for your search.
