Biography

Hans 'Martin' Schultz, referred to in most historical records as Martin Schultz, was born in Friedelsheim, Alsace in 1694. He was the son of Gabriel Schultz (abt.1665-).

Immigration

Hans Martin was age 35 when he and his wife, Anna Catharina arrived in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on 10 Sep 1731 from Friedelsheim, Bayern-Pfalz aboard the ship, Pennsylvania Merchant.^[1] Early York County historian, Adam Glossbrenner stated that about the year 1735, Martin and his brother, Johannes (John) Schultz each built a stone house on the banks of the Kreutz Creek. Thomas Penn granted Martin Schultz 226 acres of land in 1736, on which Schultz was already living, and where he may have already erected his home. There were several other buildings and structures associated with his house, including a two story mill and a wooden barn and distillery. The stone house still stands at 155 Emig Street, in Hallam, York county, Pennsylvania. At the time of the application to name the home a National Historic Place, the home was being used as a restaurant. ^[2]

Marriage

Martin married twice:

1. First marriage was to Barbara Bieber in 1721. She died after 3 years of marriage.
2. Martin then married Catharina (Kreamer) Schultz (abt.1700-bef.1780) in 1728.

Children

Martin had four sons and seven daughters.

The home of Hans Martin Schultz was used for a place of worship before the Reformed Church of Kretuz creek was built. Martin and his brother, Johannes were among those who founded the church, now a Presbyterian church. ^[3] The Old Kreutz Creek Cemetery is located near the Kreutz Creek Presbyterian Church at the end of Old Church Lane west of the town of Hallam. The cemetery is located in a grassy area between two homes and is just south of Route 30, across the highway from the current Kreutz Creek Cemetery. There are about 35 grave stones still standing, some stones are located in the wooded area by the fence along Route 30. ^[4] Unfortunately, the Find A Grave memorial combines the names of Hans Martin and his brother Johannes "John" and indicates that he was buried in the Christ Lutheran Church Yard, in York. Although it is inaccurate, the memorial may be found at FindAGrave: [2]
