Carl Frederich Schütz, the eldest son, was born in Thalfröschen on June 30, 1811. By tradition, he became an apprentice to his father and became a blacksmith. He stayed in Thalfröschen, the Schütz home since his grandfather Wendel settled there in the 1780's. On September 5, 1839, he was united in marriage to Elizabeth Catharina Wolf. Six children were blessed to this union Peter, Maria, Jacob, Peter, Adam, and Catherine Schütz. Sons Peter, Jacob, and possibly Adam died in childhood. The surviving Peter Schütz immigrated with his uncle of the same name in 1867.
It is believed that Carl's wife died in Germany and that he moved to the port city of Le Havre in France. Carl Schütz, his two daughters, and son-in-law left Le Havre in 1871 and arrived at the port of New York. They lived in Brooklyn for some time before settling in New Orleans, although Catherine remained behind in New York. Her husband, Henry Loer, was a clockmaker that died young. Maria had married John Eblen in Le Havre a year before immigrating. They had several children before Maria's health began to drastically decline. Aiding her dying sister, Catherine came down to New Orleans in Maria's last months. After her sister's death, Catherine married John Eblen in 1890 and had two children.
Carl Schütz lived a good life and aged well into his eighties. He died in New Orleans on October 1, 1898.
