Notes:

Jesse Zephaniah Shultz was born in Michigan on 20 Sep 1853 (date per the inscription on his gravestone) to Jesse K Shultz and Hannah Mayberry.

In the 1860 census (indexed under Sultz) we find him living in Juniata, Tuscola, Michigan with his mother and other siblings.

In 1866 Jesse's sister, Lucinda and her husband Jesse Fox were named guardians of Jesse Z along with his siblings, Thomas and Harriet.(Tuscola County probate packet 1-89)

In 1870 we have a possible census entry in Luzerne County, Pa where a J Z Shultz (indexed as J G Shultz on ancestry.com), age 17, born in Michigan is living in the household of Samuel Gibbons (this may be his mother's brother) as a laborer. Everyone else in the household was born in Pennsylvania. It may be reasonable to assume that after the mother died in 1865 (the father having died in 1853), the family dispersed.

On 31 March 1875 Jesse Z married Mary Francis Dawson in Botetourt, Virginia per Virginia Marriage records.

In 1880 we find Zeph Schultz (age27,born Mich) and Francis Schultz (age26, born VA) living in Sherman, Grayson, Texas with their two children Jesse (age 4, born VA) and Freddie (age 2, Born W VA).

In 1888 we find the following birth record in the North Carolina Birth Index,1800-2000; (on ancestry.com.)
DOB: 7/20/1888
Name: Claire Schultz
Sex & Race: F W
Father: Jesse Z Schultz
Mother: Mary F Dawson
POB: Salisbury (Rowan County, North Carolina)
Vol: 196
Page: 112
(This is a delayed birth entry, it is not stated what the date of record was)

In 1900 we find in Buchanan, Botetourt, Virginia:
Jesse Z Schultz (indexed on ancestry.com as Ira Schultz) Sept 1853 Mi
Frannie wife (indexed as Fannie) Nov 1853 VA
Fred son July 1878 W VA
Roy son Sept 1884 VA
Claire daughter July 1888 NC
Paul son Nov 1892 VA
Andrew son Jan 1895 VA

In 1910 we find Jesse Z Schultz(Age 55, born MI) living in Chattanooga, Hamilton, Tennesee with his wife Mary F(age 56, Born VA) and two children Paul G (age 17, Born VA) and Andrew K (age 14, born VA).

In 1920 We find Jesse Z Schultz living in the household of William M Bogart in Stevenson, Jackson, Alabama. Jesse is listed as father-in-law. Jesse’s daughter Clair is married to William Bogart. (a oneworldtree entry for the Bogart family shows William Bogart married Clair Schultz who was born 20 July 1889).

In 1930 we find Jesse Z Schultz living in the household of William M and Claire Bogart in Stevenson, Jackson, Alabama.

DEATH:
21 Aug 1853 in Tuscola County, Michigan. Date from gravestone inscription.

BURIAL:
Juniata Township Cemetery AKA Watrousville Cemetery Juniata Township, Tuscola, Michigan. Gravestone reads J K Shultz, died 21 Aug 1853, aged 41 years 11 months, 21 days.

NOTES ON GRAVESITE:
Basically Watrousville is a few buildings on the corner of M-81 and Ringle Rd in Tuscola County. Just west of the corner on the north side of the road is the Juniata Township Cemetery. The cemetery is also referred to as the Watrousville Cemetery. The cemetery is small, just a few hundred graves. I found it to be quite clean and well maintained.

The first group of stones I came to look for consists of 3 graves, but 2 stones. The taller stone, about a 3 1/2 foot tall spire, is engraved on the left side J.K. Shultz DIED Aug. 21, 1853 Aged 41 yrs 11 mos 21 days. The opposite side is engraved Hannah Shultz DIED Dec 10, 1865 Aged 50 yrs 1 mo 5 days. Right next to this taller stone is a stone engraved C.A. Schultz Co F 2 Mich Inf. Next to the stone is an American flag. Right behind the stone is a metal plaque which reads Albert C Schultz Corp Co F 2 Mich Inf Civil War. (Note how it went from C. A. to Albert C.)

The next group of stones I wanted to look at consists of 3 stones in a row with a fourth stone in the middle represented only by a base in the ground. The first stone is engraved Lucia E wife of Andrew Shultz died Mar 13, 1867 Aged 27 yrs 1 mo 27 dys. The 2nd stone is engraved Lucia (hard to read-but here goes) 22 Aug 1877 10 yrs m 20dys daughter of A & L Shults. The third stone is the one which is missing. (According to Gloria Hall in 1939 the stone was read as Andrew Shults died 18 Jan 1873 age 63 yrs 3 mo 14 dys. With a note in the 1990’s that the stone is now missing.) The fourth stone reads Samuel infant son of A & L Shults Died Mar 9, 1866.

The final group of stones which I wanted to see consists of 3 stones. The first reads Emiley Smith(Emily Shultz) Died Jan 1 A.D. 1865 Aged 17 yrs 7 m’s 8 d’s. The next stone reads George Spickerman Died Sept 5, 1883. Aged 10 yrs 5 mos 21 dys. The final stone reads Harriet C Spickerman Mother of George Spickerman Apr 21, 1851 Apr 13, 1929

NOTES ON PROBATE RECORDS:
File #1-89, Tuscola County, Michigan Probate Records, Estate of Jesse K Shultz:
We show Jesse Shultz dying in 1853, but the probate file was opened in 1866. Hannah, Jesse's wife died in Dec 1865 which is what triggered the probate, because now the real estate and other assets had to be disbursed to the heirs. I think that the prevailing law is that the real estate belongs to the husband, but the wife can stay there until she dies, then it goes into probate. Many of the papers mention the estate of both Jesse K Shultz and C Albert Shultz, deceased. (he is also referred to as Albert Shultz or Charles Albert Shultz on one paper). C Albert is one of Jesse's sons on the census, so apparently he died between 1860 and 1866. There is also a reference to the estate of Hannah Shultz. So all 3 people are included in this one file.
Jesse Fox (the spouse of Lucinda Shultz) was appointed guardian of the minors; Thomas Shultz, Harriet Shultz and Jesse Zephaniah Shultz (also referred to as Zephaniah Shultz or Jesse Z).
The date of death is almost never mentioned, it is always the previously deceased, so I would guess that the date is not important to the probate court. Fortunately one of the receipts for services rendered listed an approximate date for Jesse's death. William Johnson, apparently a Doctor billed the estate for services performed: "surgical services provided to Mr. Shultz in 1852 (“or at the date of his death”) and on Mrs. Shultz at her death in December 1865; (only one paper had an actual death date for Jesse K, but it was not entirely legible, I could read Aug 1853), (from cemetery transcriptions we know Jesse K died 21 Aug 1853 and Hannah died 10 Dec 1865).
So, who are the heirs?
Lucinda Fox (who also purchased the rights of Joseph Shultz in the estate of C.A. Shultz), Mary E Russell of Juniata (Mary’s husband, Henry E Russell is the administrator of the estate) Thomas Shultz of Fairgrove, Harriet Shultz, Zephaniah Shultz and Albert A Smith (this would be the child of Emily who died 1 Jan 1865, leaving 2 month old Albert without a mother). (Emily was married to Alanson Smith, I do not know what happened to him). Also David Altingburg (Altingberry?) purchaser of the rights of Joseph Shultz, I believe in regards to Jesse K estate. Apparently my ancestor was in need of quick cash at the time.
There is a receipt where Joseph Shultz signed for his share of the estate of C Albert Shultz. He received $48.84. It is signed Joseph O. Shultz.
58 papers in the file, some of them written on both sides, so a lot to look up. Other items of interest.
Gearhart Kile filed an objection to the sale of the estate in that it was not handled fairly. He stated that he was prepared to offer $2000 for the real estate, as were other people and that it was sold for too little. Gearhart apparently wanted to purchase the estate using credit terms for part of the payment, which is why his bid was not allowed.
The auctioneer filed a statement that the sale held at the hotel of G.W. Buddington of Watrousville was conducted fairly. He obtained a bid of $1662. He announced to everyone in the room, that if he did not receive a higher bid he would close the sale. He then closed the sale. The judge ruled that the sale was conducted fairly.
There was also a petition filed by Jesse Fox that Henry E Russell had concealed and disposed of certain assets. I cannot tell what that was about.
There is also a note that papers are missing from the file.

Jesse married Hannah Gibbons on 6 Mar 1835 in Pennsylvania, USA. Hannah (daughter of Charles Gibbons and Sarah Davis) was born on 5 Nov 1815 in Pennsylvania, USA; died on 10 Dec 1865 in Tuscola, Michigan, USA; was buried in Juniata, Tuscola, Michigan, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Other Events:

• Name: Hannah Mayberry
• Reference Number: 6089
• Residence: 1850, Hayfield, Crawford, Pennsylvania, USA
• Residence: 1860, Juniata, Tuscola, Michigan, USA

Notes:

NOTE: It is our belief that Hannah Gibbons is the daughter of Charles Gibbons of Sugarloaf, Columbia, Pennsylvania. However, we only have circumstantial evidence. It is as follows:
a) After Hannah and Jesse had both died by 1865, the remaining family scattered. Her son Jesse Z ended up in the household of Samuel GIbbons in Benton Township, Pennsylvania by 1870 (when he would have been 17). Samuel Gibbons is a son of Charles Gibbons and he has the same surname as Jesse's mother. This indicates family relation.
b) When Hannah GIbbons married Jesse K in 1835 the Charles Gibbons family lived only a few households away from Jesse per Sugarloaf census records. Charles Gibbons along with his sons Reuben, Samuel, Thomas, Charles and Isaac are also the only known GIbbons families in the county.
c) We have nine autosomal DNA matches to descendants of Charles Gibbons. Two through his son Thomas, five through his daughter Sarah, One through son Charles and 1 through daughter Mary, which all match our line through his daughter Hannah.
This adds up to strong circumstantial evidence that Hannah is the daughter of Charles Gibbons.

NAME: The only records we have of her maiden name is the death certificate of her child Jesse Z. Schultz listing Hannah Mayberry as his mother and her daughter Harriet on her 3rd marriage listing Jesse Schultz and Hannah Gibbons as parents. This creates considerable doubt on her maiden name. Perhaps a previous marriage? Charles Gibbons b. 1781 d 1857 lived in Sugarloaf. No record of a will in the probate index. No deed records in Columbia County. As the marriage record maiden name was reported by Hannah's daughter and the death record maiden name was reported by an unknown relative? of Jesse Z, I would have to give more weight to the Gibbons name. Also the fact that in 1870, Jesse Z was apparently listed in the household of Samuel Gibbons on the census gives more weight to the Gibbons name. Also the fact that there was a Gibbons family living nearby at the time of the marriage and that there were no known Mayberry families in the county gives more weight to the Gibbons name.

BIRTH: 5 Nov 1815 in Pennsylvania. Date from gravestone inscription. Place from Census.

PARENTS:
We have no documentary information on her parents. In 1840 the household was living in Sugarloaf, Columbia County, Pennsylvania with Jesse’s father Samuel as the next entry on the census record. There were no Mayberry’s listed in Columbia County in 1840, although there was the Charles Gibbons family living in SugarLoaf.

MARRIAGE:
6 Mar 1835 to Jesse K Shultz b. 30 Sep 1811 in Pennsylvania. (per a 2/17/1982 family tree chart on file with the Columbia County Historical and Genealogical Society in Bloomsburg, PA-unable to find confirming document)
