He and Lillian Cox were married on 12 Nov 1911 in Jackson Co. Missouri. They had one son, Kenneth Colston. Lillian died in 1919 and John married Mattie Glenn Scholl 12 Apr 1928. John died on 9 Jan 1958 in Jackson Co. Missouri and is buried in the Salem Cemetery in Jackson Co. Missouri. Hope this helps. Cindy

Mary Ann (Scholl) Jones - Sister of William Milton Scholl
I had never done much research or seen much information on the family of William Milton Scholl’s sister, Mary Ann.
Missouri Marriage Records 1805 – 2002 show a Miller (Milton) Jones marrying Mary Ann Schole (Scholl) June 18, 1845 in Callaway Co., MO.
The 1850 US Federal Census shows a Milton Jones, born about 1825 in Kentucky, living in District 12, Callaway Co., MO. Also living with Milton was Margaret Ann Jones age 2, Mary Ann Jones age 24 born in Kentucky, Sarah E. Jones, age 0. William M. Scholl was born in Kentucky so it is possible his sister was also born there as we know that their father, Peter Scholl moved to Missouri in 1826.
The 1850 US Federal Census – Slave Schedule shows a Milton Jones living in District 12, Callaway Co., MO and owning a two female slaves age 15 and 9.
Sometime around 1854 the year Mary Jones was born, Mary Ann (Scholl) Jones died.
The 1860 US Federal Census shows a Milton Jones age 36, born in Kentucky, living in District 18, Callaway Co., MO. Nancy Jones age 33, Margaret Jones, age 12, Sarah E. Jones age 10, Mary Jones age 6, John T. Jones age 4, Virginia Jones age 2, Elvira Jones age 1, Shelton Wray age 15.
The 1870 US Federal Census shows a Milton Jones, born about 1824, in Kentucky, living on Nine Mile Prairie, Callaway Co., MO., Nancy Jones age 43, Margret Jones, age 22, Elizabeth Jones age 20, Mary Jones age 16, John Jones, age 15, Jane Jones, age 13, Alvina Jones age 10, Eugein Jones age 8, Josephine Jones age 8, Silvester Jones, age 4; 1870 US Federal Census. Both Milton and Nancy are shown as being born in Kentucky. The Jones family was living near Francis and Martha Cobb. Carrie Cobb, their daughter would marry Milton Scholl, son of William Milton Scholl.

The documents mentioned that Joseph Scholl purchased a shotgun at the sale for $7.00 and Reece Scholl purchased a revolver for $2.00. Does anyone know if these firearms are still in the possession of the family??
