• Notes

  After the death of his father in 1787 in Sullivan Co, NC (now Tennessee) Martin, his mother, and at least part of his brothers and sisters moved to the Emerts Cove area of Sevier County. That was probably around 1795, or just before Tennessee statehood. There he met and married Barbara, the daughter of even earlier emigrants into the area. Martin was a Justice of the Peace and a Captain in the State Militia. He received a State grant for 55 acres of land on the East Fork of the Little Pigeon River adjoining Frederick Emert's property. It's not known how much land Martin eventually acquired but he was involved in land dealings in the county for many years. (Martin Shultz Junior entered numerous land entries in Sevier County, Tennessee during his lifetime. They include: 160 acres-5 August 1824; 15 acres-12 August 1824; 50 acres-28 August 1824; 222 acres-28 August 1829; 69 acres-28 August 1829; 31 acres-28 August 1829; 50 acres-28 February 1832; 31 acres-16 October 1836; and 113 acres-11 March 1839) Below are some of the records. During the period of 1796-1806, records show Martin Shutlz Junior owned lands in the area of Webb's Creek by right of occupancy. He sold it to Joseph Anderson in 1808 prior to the issuance of land grants by the State of Tennessee. The records read in part as follows: (1) "State of Tennessee District South French Broad and Holston "In pursuance of the law in such cases made and provided and by virtue of a Deputation from Robert Wear Esq surveyor for the district Aforesaid I have surveyed for Martin Shults 11 Acres 1 Rood 1 Chains of land held and Claimed by right of occupancy Situate in Sevier County on the waters of Webbs creek having such form and Boundaries as represented surveyed 2nd May 1807 Given under my hand this 6th day June 1807 "Variation of the Needle 5 Degs East Laid down by a Scale 40 chs to the inch Thomas Price, D S "I Martin Shults for and in Consideration of the sum of Twenty five dollars to me in hand paid the Receipt whereof is hereby acknowledged do hereby assign over the within Survey of Lane unto Joseph Anderson In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal this 4th day February 1808 Test William Freazier Marting Shults (Seal) Isaac Love "State of Tennessee Sevier County Court February Sesions 1808 "This was the Execution of the above Transfer of land being duly proven in open Court by the oaths of William Feasher and Isaac Love the subscribing Witnesses thereto and the same is admitted to record Test Saml Wear C S C" (2) "State of Tennessee District South French Broad and Holston "In pursuance of the laws in such cases made and provided and by virtue of a Deputation from Robert Wear Esqr surveyor for the District Aforesaid I have surveyed for Martin Shults 42 Acres 2 roods 3 Chains of land held and Claimed by right of Occupancy situate in the County of Sevier on the water Webbs creek having such form and Boundaries as represented Surveyed 1st May 1807 Given under my hand this 6th day June 1807 "Magnetic Variation 5 degs Laid down by a scale 40 chs to the inch Thomas Price, D S "I Martin Shults for and in Consideration of the sum of Seventy five Dollars to me in hand paid the Receipt Whereof is hereby Acknowledged do hereby Assign over the Within Survey of land to Joseph Anderson In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal this 4th day of february 1808 Test William Freasher Marting Shutls (Seal) Isaac Love "State of Tennessee Sevier County Court February Sessions 1808 "This was the Execution of the above transfer of Land being duly proven by the oaths of William Freasher and Isaac Love the subscribing witnesses thereto and the same is admitted to record Test Saml Wear C S C" There is another land grant for Martin Shultz from the State of Tennessee. He entered 55 acres 1 rood 5 chains on the waters of East Fork of Little Pigeon River. It was surveyed on 29 August 1807 and granted on 9 May 1810. This land joined vacant lands and lands of Frederick Emert in the Emert's Cove area.
