- 1851 Jacob Sholtes, after the early death of two earlier wives, married Angelica Schell. Jacob immediately built her a new house on their Rock Road farm; it was built next to the old one. The house was beautiful in craftsmanship. Mrs. Euretha W. Stapleton, former Town of Berne Historian, described the house as extravagant. She said that Angelica Schell enjoyed the good life. Mrs. Stapleton reported that after the new house was constructed the old house was torn down. Looking at the house it seems more likely that the old house is one of the wings.
- The Jacob Sholtes Farm was in the Sholtes / Shultes family for 175 years.
- 19?? the front porches were removed from the two wings and picture windows replaced the doors and side by side windows.
- May 2007 Theresa Consentino-Tommell and her husband Nick Tommell Jr bought The Jacob Sholtes House.
