d/o Henry (b. 1761 in Montgomery Co., PA, d. Oct 1824) and Elizabeth Shuler of Washington Twp. Lycoming Co., sis/o Samuel, Robert, Henry and Elizabeth. Henry (father) was a Revolutionary War veteran. She married George Chapman Jr. about 1805 in Washington Twp., Lycoming, PA.
Research by Ronald W. Schuler, the 3-great grandson of Robert Schuler, concluded that after the death of Henry in 1824, "A public filing made in Lycoming County on April 7, 1827 stated that Samuel Schuler, along with his brother, Robert, and sisters, Margaret Chapman and Elizabeth Schuler, was made the legitimate child of Henry and Elizabeth Schuler by an Act of the Pennsylvania Legislature passed on April 16, 1826. The meaning of the filing is somewhat obscure, but it suggests that Henry and Elizabeth were married under common-law rather then in accordance with a duly obtained marriage license, and that Samuel and his siblings made the filing as protection from others who might have challenged their rights to Henry's estate."
