272. Lucy NEIL
He was "a rice planter of Texas".
273. Alexander M. CLOUD
Mary was the sister of the Eliza who married Benjamin F. Shults.
Perry's Civil War record was less than illustrious! He enlisted in K Co, 11th Tenn Cavalry in Knoxville on 20 Sep 1863 but apparently never joined his unit. He was listed as "Absent Without Leave" (AWOL) at the end of October and listed as a deserter on 4 Nov 1863. There's nothing in his record to indicate he was ever arrested or charged for desertion but as late as March 1891 his application to have the charge removed and for an Honorable
Discharge was denied by the War Department. The 1880 census lists his occupation as "miller"! Did he have a mill on Webbs Creek? His middle name and marriage date are from an old Bible that apparently belonged to Philip, now in the possession of Homer's descendants. His four children were: George, Philip, Caroline, and Oscar (the Bible mentioned above lists another son, William Bates Shultz (11 Oct 1851-21 Nov 1851). This would explain why Matilda Caroline named a son "William Bates".
278. Martin B. K. SHULTZ
Martin was a Union Army veteran of the Civil War, enlisting as a Private in Company K of the 9th Tenn Cavalry in 1863 at the ripe old age of 37. Apparently he was too old for campaigning with the cavalry, as he was disabled most of his time while in the Army. He spent months in the hospital in Chattanooga, finally being discharged in Knoxville on 17 Sep 1865. All four of his brothers were also in the Union Army. Four of his cousins, Henderson, Jasper, Allen and John McMahan were in the Army (all except Henderson perished!). His brother-in-law, John W. Rhinehart, Sarah's husband, was in the Army and died shortly after the War. His wife, Eliza, had two brothers in the Army, Eli and Marion (Marion was killed). In addition, her uncle, James Branam, died in the Confederate prison camp at Andersonville, Georgia.
Her name appeared as 'Lucinda' in the 1850 Sevier Co, TN census.
Died young.
906. Harriet B. SHULTZ
Died young.
279. Eli H. SHULTZ
There's some question and confusion about Eli's wife. Some sources have Mary and Polly as two different people, with Mary marrying John Dennis, but the censuses of 1870 and 1880 both list Eli's widow as "Mary". Eli is reported by almost all researchers to have been a Union Army veteran of the Civil War, a Corporal in E Co, 2nd East Tennessee Volunteer Cavalry. However, when I requested from the National Archives in Sep 1998 any pension records based on his military service they could find none. That MAY have been simply because his widow remarried and wasn't eligible! [jrs]..
Don Reagan, in his "Smoky Mountain Clans, Vol II" identifies her as "Mary Large, dau of John and Elizabeth (Webb) Large". However, it APPEARS those were not her parents. Eli was still home with his parents, unmarried, in the 1850 Sevier Co, TN census. John and Elizabeth Large DID NOT have a daughter, Mary, at home with them, unmarried, in the 1850 census.
IF her last name was actually LARGE then the only possible candidate appears to be a 17-year old Mary Large counted with 51-year old Ellen Large, born South Carolina, in the 1850 Cocke Co, TN census.
907. Ellen SHULTZ
The marriage date shown is the date their license was issued, the license was never returned. Her name also appears as Eleanor. Supposedly she died very shortly after their marriage and J.H. then wed her sister, Mary.
280. Anna McKinney SHULTZ
Joseph's parents are Joseph and Susannah (McMinn) Hill. Joseph and Anna lived in Wilsonville, in Cocke County. After Joseph's death Anna moved into Newport with her children.
912. David Bryan HILL
Per family researchers he was in Hopkins Co, TX in 1870, in Collin Co, TX in 1880.
281. Sarah E. SHULTZ
He's the son of John and Abagail (Hill) Rhinehart. His sister, Leah, married McNulty McMahan.
282. John S. SHULTS
Harriet's the daughter of Eli C. and Millie (Allen) McMahan. After John died she married (1 Mar 1874) Rev. George McMahan, son of William McMahan. John was a Union Army veteran of the Civil War, a Private, E Co, 2nd Tenn Cavalry, 16 Sep 1862-6 Jul 1865. He's also buried in Webbs Creek Cemetery, apparently unmarked. John's first cousin, John W. Shults, was also in Co E of the 2nd Tenn Volunteer Cavalry and their records are sometimes confused.
925. David Wood SHULTS
This family supposedly moved to Texas.
926. Elizabeth F. "Eliza" SHULTS
Ezakiel's the son of Robert R. and Amillia (Ogle) Conner. He and Eliza are supposed to have moved to Texas also.
927. Graham A. SHULTS
Died at age 22.
928. Spencer SHULTS
He wasn't listed in the 1880 census with the other children. He MAy be the Spence (22 Oct 1876-20 Nov 1904) buried in Buttram Cemetery in McMinn Co, TN.
Millie never married. In some printed sources her two children are listed as HILL's. In the 1870 census her father had moved to Anderson County and she was counted in Sevier County in the household of her younger brother, Noah; but her children aren't listed with her. By the 1880 census both Millie and Noah had disappeared but the children WERE counted - David in the household of R.C. and Molly Robertson and Mary next door to them in the home of N.W. and Hannah Emert. (Millie is reported to have taken her own life).
