Eve was the daughter of Michael and Catherine Hengst. George was a Private in Capt. Simon Coppenhaffer's Co, York Co Militia, Feb, 1782. George was a wheelwright and later an innkeeper.
Martin was a cordwainer (shoe maker) in Pennsylvania and became a self-taught doctor after moving to central North Carolina around 1763. He later moved to upper East Tenn, in what is now Sullivan Co, TN (was then North Carolina). He was in the Revolutionary War, serving with John Sevier and the OverMountain Men in the battle of Kings Mountain in South Carolina. He was probably the only physician available to treat the American wounded. His burial site has never been found.
Many different 'locations' are listed in the various genealogies of Martin Shults. The area in Pennsylvania where his parents settled, and he was born, was originally Lancaster County. It became York County in 1749 when York as formed from Lancaster County.
The area where Martin lived in North Carolina, and where his children were born, went through SEVERAL name changes and different researchers list many different names, leading to STILL MORE confusion. To help understand those place names the following is provided: Mecklinburg County was formed from Anson County in 1762, roughly the time Martin arrived in the area. Tryon County was formed from Mecklinburg in 1768. Tryon was named for William Tryon, a former Royal Governor of North Carolina. Since Royal Governors weren't very popular during and after the American Revolution the name 'Tryon' was discontinued in 1779 and Lincoln and Rutherford Counties were formed from what had been Tryon. Lincoln County was further split into Cleveland, Catawba, and Gaston Counties. The area where Martin lived, the Leepers Creek/Lick Run area, was in present day Lincoln County.
