Note: Don Reagan, in his "Smoky Mountain Clans" and in his "Early History of Dr. Martin Shultz" called Mary's husband "HENRY Romines". There is a Henry Romines, head-of-household, in the 1830 and 1840 Sevier County census, the ages of the husband and wife match the Henry and Mary shown here. That Henry Romines and family are gone from Sevier County before 1850.
In the 1850 Bradley census there IS a 45-year old Henry Romines, but his wife is Rachel, age 33. (Some researchers have her as Rachel JAMES, born Kentucky, married to Henry Romines in Sevier County, TN!). Both indicated birth in Tennessee in the 1850 Bradley census. Children were Martin 21; Henry, 19; and Riley, 13. It's POSSIBLE that Henry's first wife, Mary Shults, died and Rachel was a second wife. The children listed in the 1850 Bradley census are a close match to the children listed with Henry in the 1830 and 1840 Sevier censuses. The 19-year old son Martin Romines COULD HAVE BEEN named for Mary's father, Martin Shults.
