I grew up in Tazewell (Illinois), then to Dupage (Illinois), moved to Hamilton (Indiana), and now reside in Peoria (Illinois). Sadly though, I might add Kane or Dupage back to my list by the end of the year.

You will likely do better posting on genealogy.com or rootsweb.com for a query. You may get a hook up.

Tips:

I did find a george schultheis, wife: minnie age 28, Dalla (?) age 7 daughter and a son Arthur (?) age 1 in Adams county in the 1870 census.

Also there are a few george schultheis mentioned on the web in that county:

1859 Adams County City Directory

Early German Settlers in Adams County (http://www.rootsweb.com/~iladams/research/earlygermans4.htm - broken link)

Also the name is spelled in various records as well: SCHULTIES

So it helps to look under possible mis-pellings when you are looking for genealogical information.

Prairie Farmer has some great records to research also. In the late-1800's they published county directories listing every land owner.
