Marriage 1:
about 1806 to Elizabeth
(b. about 1785 - d. before 1850)
Somerset, Pennsylvania, USA

Marriage 2:
1850-1859 to Barbara Kreider
(b. Mar 22, 1793 - d. Jul 21, 1869)
Somerset, Pennsylvania, USA

In 1900, Peter's nephew, George M D Shultz, gave a talk at the National Inventor's Association in Philadelphia. According to a newspaper article about his talk, which was carried in a dozen newspapers across the U.S., George said that his uncle always wanted to be buried in one corner of the meadow on his property, and the family complied with his wishes. See uploaded newspaper article. (Only two of George's uncles were alive when he was born—Peter in PA and Heinrich in Ohio. It seems more likely George was talking about Peter, who lives much closer to George.) Perhaps the first wife Elizabeth is also buried on the property
