Looking to verify that Peter Seekatz of Germany changed name to Seacat?

Question

There was a George Seacat, b. 1805, whose father was Peter Seacat, b. 1775, whose father was perhaps Johann Peter Seacat/Seekatz perhaps from Germany b. 1733. I am trying to verify this information.  How can I look for name changes?
