Changing of Spelling Conrad to Conard to Conrad

I don't know if any of these resources might help you. I don't know enough about your line to help you, really.
The book that I list below spends just 27 pages on Thones Kunders and his children. Pages 28 through 105 are on the Descendants of Henry Cunreds of Whitpain, youngest son of Thones Kunders and Katharine (Streypers) his wife.
I've gathered that the name changed as people themselves changed it, spelled it, or as others recorded it. Sometimes it would change between generations. If your ancestor is through Henry Cunreds, you'll be able to see the evolution, otherwise, good luck! I know in my husband's grandfather's case, he and his father and HIS grandfather both either spelled their names in various ways, or census recorders spelled it in various ways.
Here's the Book Title:
"1683-1891. Thones Kunders and his children. Also, a list of the descendants for six generations of his youngest son Henry Cunreds, "of Whitpain." (1891)
