Widow Shitley 2nd wife. She died onboard Phoenix on way to U.S. Arrival 1744. Seeking name of 1st wife etc.

Among the many variant spellings of Schottli/ Schottly in America, Shitley was one. My 4GGM Anna Schottli's step-father was Hans/John Fotsch/Fudge who seems to have been a weaver who left Hallau, Schaffhausen in 1744 with a wife, 5 children and 3 stepchildren [Fotsch Hs., Weber, mit W., 5 K. und 3 Stiefk., nach Pennsylvanien]. I have list 106C for the Phoenix arrival in Philadelphia 20 Oct 1744, and I fail to see any likely suspects for Foutsch/Fotsch/Fudge or Schottli among the passengers. Do you still think that is a valid ship for them? The 1766 Augusta Co, VA court case where the 3 Schottli step-daughters are suing John Fotch for their inheritance states that Fotch left Germany in 1744 and landed in Maryland. I'd love to find a ship list for my 1744 arriving ancestors, and am trying to follow all leads.
