  ! Copyright 1984-2023 FamilyHart, Inc (A Nonprofit Corporation) -.DESCENDANTS OF CASPER GLATTFELDER, N. M. GLATFELTER, SUPPLEMENT PG 26. FIRST NAME: IGI, ALLEGANY COUNTY, MARYLAND.Alexander Shultz was born in Somerset, Pa. November 14, 1829. His father was a farmer in good circumstances and in 1830, moved to Grantsville, Allegany Co., Maryland, twenty-five miles west of Cumberland on the National Road, which was then the main thourough-fare betweeen the East and the West. His father farmed there 600 acres of land, and built a hotel at a cost of seven or eight thousand dollars. He also owned another hotel on the same route, but the building of railroads changed the current of travel and was unproductive. Mr. Shultz grew to manhood in that country. On August 31, 1859, he married Elnora Glotfelty, who was descended from an old German family who settled in Somerset Co. before the Revolutionary War and afterward moved to Allegany Co. Maryland where Mrs. Shultz was born. After he was married, Mr. Shultz went to farming for himself on rented land and afterward purchased a farm of 300 acres near Grantsville. He continued to reside in Maryland through the war, and in 1866, emigrated to Illinois, landing in Shipman Nov. 16th of that year. In 1872, he purchased a farm of 160 acres in Hilyard Township. He had eight children living: Joseph A, Lydia C., Robert Lee, Bailey, Kitty Mae (Kate), Meshack A., Henry C. (Harry), and Rosella (Rose). He was one of the leading citizens on Hilyard township. For three years he was assessor of the township, and one year collector. In 1877, he represented that township on the Board of Supervisors. The family from which Mr. Shultz descended is of German origin. Jacob Shultz came over from Germany when only fourteen years old, before the Revolutionary War. He settled in Somerset Co., Pa. and secured his tract of land by what was known as an old "Tomahawk Right." He was one of the old pioneer settlers and was obliged to go to Hagerstown, Maryland, 80 miles distant for salt and iron, which he transported on pack horses. Mr. Jacob Shultz was a soldier in the Revolutionary War. Mr. Shultz' father, Adam Shultz, was born in Somerset Co. Pa. He followed farming and also for 40 years he carried on a tannery. Adam Shultz was the father of 18 children. His second wife (Mrs. Shultz' Mother) was Nancy Shockey, also born in Somerset Co. Her father Abraham Shocky served seven years in the Revolution and after his death his widow drew a pension as long as she lived. Adam Shultz died in 1864. The Shockey family was originally of French descent. The grandfather of Mrs. Shultz on her mother's side was also in the Revolutionary War. His name was Robert Compton, and was a native of New Jersey. He was aide-de-campe of General Washington's staff and once while carying dispatches, was captured by the British. He was searched but his papers which were hidden in the lining of his boots were not discovered. The Glotfelty's were among the most prominent families mentioned in their neighborhood. At one time they got coal from a coal mine not far from where they lived, for their blacksmith shops. They put it in sacks and then on pack horses. Once in a while the men would carry it on their own strong backs. In Brown's writings, he says that Senator Baltser was living in the old stone Shultz namsion at the time of his writing. This mansion was supposed to have been built by Adam Shultz. In the '74 surveys, a large tract of land 1,100 acres was divided in half by the Braddock Road. It was later divided into three separate farms and became the property of Joseph Glotfelty, Adam Shultz, and a man named Sterner. One son of Adam Shultz named Perry, died in St. Louis of Cholera in 1863. Another son, named Chaney Forward was one of the foremost men of his community. He held some very honorable and important positions. A younger brother, John A. J. Shultz (Charlie Shultz' father) went to St. Louis in 1864 and ran a tannery, which at that time was the largest establishment of that kind west of the Mississippi. He was a practical tanner and obtained a patent for making belting leather which was the strongest and best in the world. This is an old record, 1879, and all named have been gone a long time.
