Julianna Shultz

Juliana probably met her husband Johan Martin Shultz through her father. Martin’s father, Johan Veltan (Valentine) Shultz had brought his family to Philadelphia from the Palatine area of Germany two years before the Stentz family had arrived. They had come aboard the sailing ship Pennsylvania Merchant, part of a group of 175 passengers. They landed 10 Sep 1731 in Philadelphia and signed the lists 11 Sept. The Shultz family had not come alone, but with a large extended family. Later, this safety in numbers would probably influence Martin when he and Juliana left Philadelphia and moved South. They took with them a number of other families who had been friends of theirs in PA.

As a young man, Martin learned the art of shoemaking and was apprenticed to a cordwainter to learn his craft. Cordwainers were considered on a higher standing than cobblers or shoemakers. They dealt in fine leathers and expensive shoes. Since Julia’s father Heinrich was a shoemaker—and perhaps a cordwainer—he probably knew young Martin. In fact, it is not impossible that Martin was apprenticed to Heinrich. There is, however, no documentation to back up this supposition at this time. (See Ancestor of the Month for March, 2006 Dr. Martin Shultz for more information) Both Juliana and Martin were born in America, and Martin, like his two brothers-in-law Philip and Johan Leonard, participated in the Revolutionary War. By the 1770’s Martin had become a doctor to serve a need on the frontier where there were few if any doctors. He was a private under Col. John Sevier as part of the Over Mountain Men in the Battle of King’s Mountain. He also served as a surgeon during the war.
