The 1860 census of San Francisco strongly suggests that Ann Mariska was also known as a married woman by the name of "Merisa A. Shultz" married to John Schultz of Ohio (see https://www.ancestry.com/discoveryui-content/view/10263750:7667)
In sum:
A mistaken maiden name of Schulte (aka Schultz) is a common contention and was once recorded as such on ancsestry dot com. This is understandable if Anna Mariska's first husband's surname was indeed Schulte (aka Schultz). The 1860 census of San Francisco shows this couple living with Anna's mother., (Mrs.) Eliza Corry.
