Shelton's Company D, 1st Regimental Cavalry, Missouri State Militia, Colonel James McFerran commanding. This regiment was recruited in January, February, and March, 1862, was organized April 9, 1862, and mustered into the U.S service with James McFerran as Colonel. It served largely in detachments, performing guard and provost duty, and in the defense of the state against the rebel Colonels Porter and Poindexter and their marauding bands, engaging the enemy at Newark, Kirksville, and See's Ford, and ridding the Counties of Linn, Livingstone and Northeast Missouri from these dreaded bands of invaders. During the fall and winter of 1862-63, the regimental headquarters were at Lexington, Mo. and the regiment was constantly engaged in skirmishing with guerillas in Lafayette, Jackson, Johnson, Saline, and Petis counties. In the spring of 1863, it pursued Quantrell and Marchbank's bands through Cass, Bates, St. Clair, and Vernon Counties, and had a number of brisk fights, losing several men in killed and wounded. During the first six months of 1864, the companies were stationed at various points near Warrensburg, Mo, engaged in fighting guerillas and performing escort duty. In September, 1864, the regiment was concentrated at Sedalia, Mo, under General Brown, and on October 1, arrived at Jefferson City, Mo. That evening, five companies, under Col. Phillips, moved to the Osage River, against the rebel General Price, and on the 6th had a severe skirmish near Prince's Place, on the Osage, with Price's advance. The command bore a conspicuous part in the battles of Independence, Big Blue, and Osage, Mo, capturing in the last named battle, 2500 prisoners including General Marmaduke and all the artillery the rebels had. The regiment had the advance in bringing on this engagement and received congratulations from General Pleasanton. The regiment was detached at Fort Scott on October 26, to escort the prisoners and artillery that had been captured at Osage to Warrnsburg, Mo., arriving there November 1, 1864, and remained there performing guard and escort duty, and exterminating the band of guerillas that infested the region of country until mustered out. The said John Millirons was sick in hospital at Lexington, Mo, about four weeks, while regiment was stationed there. He participated in many of the skirmishes with bushwhackers and guerillas and in engagements with Price's army in Missouri, including Independence, Big Blue and Osage, and rendered faithful and meritorious service at all times. He received an honorable discharge at St. Louis, Mo, on the 22nd day of March, 1865, by reason of expiration of term of service. He is a son of Samuel and Elizabeth (Tolland) Millirons, and was born in Scioto, Ohio, on the 17th of March, 1838. He was united in marriage to Martha J. Earhart, in Putnam County, Mo, September 19, 1960, from which union were born five children, three of whom are living (1907), viz., Adolphus, Laura, and Jessie. He is a member of the W. T. Sherman Post, No. 113, Department of Kansas, Grand Army of the Republic. He has held public office as Township Trustee in Cloud County, Kansas; a member of the City Council of Concordia, KS, two years; and City Marshal, two years. His wife is an active and honored member of W. T. Sherman Corps, No. 74, W.R.C. of which she is Senior Vice-President for 1907, and has held all other offices. His brother William, served in Co. D, 1st Cavalry, Missouri State Militia; his brother, James, in Co D 18th Missouri Infantry; and his father served in Co B, 2nd Cavalry Missouri State Militia. Mrs. Millirons' brother, Harvey Earhart, served in Co D, 1st Cavalry, Mo State Militia; and her brother, James, in Co D, 18th Mo. Her half-brother, Hiram Boulan (Boulware) served in the 21st Missouri. These facts are thus recorded and preserved for the benefit of all those who maybe interested." ** End of Civil War Record and biographical data from Soldiers and Sailors Historical and Benevolent Society **** THE MILLIRONS NAME: The name Millirons no longer exists for descendants of Kansas Pioneer John Millirons. The last male heir of John bearing the name "Millirons" was his grandson Walter Millirons, who died childless. John Millirons has many descendants from daughters and granddaughters, (most with the surname Johnston), but no descendants carrying his name. Millirons is derived from the German Muehleisen, which roughly means one involved in iron milling. In 1920, there were 56 of the country's total of 136 families bearing that name living in Pennsylvania, a conduit for many of the Palatine German immigrants. There were also 23 Millirons families in Ohio.
