1. Selah (Celia or Cely) Scholl[1] (Jan. 28, 1784 - May 27, 1835)[2], married James Evans
Selah married James in Clark County, Kentucky on December 23, 1800.[3] They had three children. James died in Clark County, Kentucky around 1820.[4] Sometime during 1831-1833, Selah and her two sons, Hezekiah and Daniel Evans, along with her niece Sarah Holliday Kelly and Sarah's family moved to Morgan County, IL (now Scott County, IL).[5] She would die there in Winchester, IL in 1835.
2. Septimus Scholl (Nov. 21, 1789 - Aug. 11, 1849), married Sallie Miller
Septimus married Sallie on December 11, 1813 in Clark County, Kentucky.[6] They had seven children.[7] They lived in Kentucky until 1844. That year they purchased 108 acres of land, 3.5 miles away from Independence, Missouri. Letters from Septimus have been collected and published, describing life at the nexus of the Oregon, Santa Fe, and California trails.[8] He died there from a fever on August 11, 1849,[9] shortly after his son Marcus left with other relatives for the California gold rush.
3. Marcus Scholl (b. 1790), married Besty Martin; 2nd wife _____
Marcus married Betsy Martin in Kentucky in 1821.[10] After she died, he married again and by his second wife had two children.[11] He died in Callaway County, Missouri.[12]
4. Jesse Boone Scholl (Oct. 17, 1791 - 1 Aug., 1841)[13], married Elizabeth Miller
Jesse is said to have been born in 1791, but this might be a mistake, since his sister Marcia is also said to have been born that year. Jesse “married Elizabeth Miller, and settled in St. Charles Co., Mo., in 1811.”[14] They had three children. Jesse acquired 40 acres of land in Callaway County, Missouri in 1837[15] and died there in 1841.
5. Marcia Scholl (Nov. 6, 1791 - Mar. 7, 1814)[16], married James Holliday
Marcia married James on March 30, 1808 in Clark County, Kentucky.[17] They had three children.[18] James was a sergeant in Lewis’ regiment of Kentucky volunteers during the War of 1812.[19] Marcia died at the age of 22 in 1814. While her gravestone is in Indiana, it appears that her husband did not move there until 1819, so she probably died in Kentucky.
6. Leah Scholl (1795 - 1877), married John Newman
Leah married John in Clark County, Kentucky on December 25, 1814.[20] They had six children.[21] They are recorded in the 1850 census and 1860 census in Owsley County, Kentucky.[22] She died there in 1877 and is buried in Pebworth, Kentucky.
7. Daniel Boone Scholl (c. 1797)[23]
Not much seems to be known about Daniel Boone Scholl other than that he was listed in the 1810 census of Clark County, Kentucky living with his parents and siblings.[24] One online source says that Asa Barrow, a Clark County historian, stated that Daniel was buried in the Huls Graveyard (in Clark County, KY) and gives the date of his death as 1850. He also had a nephew and a cousin named Daniel Boone Scholl, both of whom also lived in Kentucky during the same period.
8. Joseph Scholl Jr. (June 15, 1800 - May 10, 1884), married Rebecca Van Meter Miller, 2nd wife Eliza Ann Broughton[25]
Joseph Jr. first moved from Clark County, Kentucky to Callaway County, Missouri in 1820. He returned to Kentucky and then moved back to Callaway County, Missouri around 1825. There his wife Rebecca died in 1829. On Feburary 24, 1831, he married Eliza. Soon after that, “From August 4, 1832, through September 24, 1832, Joseph served as a private under Col. Austin A. King in Capt. Ewing's Indpt. Co., Mo. Mounted Vols. in the War of 1832 (the Black Hawk War).”[26] He had a total of fourteen children: three children by his first wife and eleven by his second wife. “Mr. Scholl was a Justice of the Peace in Callaway county for twenty-two years, and in early days was a great bear and deer hunter. His second wife, who is still living, often hunted with him, and has killed several deer.”[27] He had about 500 acres and 7 or 8 slaves, and remained in good health until his death. “He was 83 years, 10 months and 25 days old, one of the oldest members of Williamsburg Lodge of A. F. and A. M., and an old and consistent member of the Antioch Christian church.”[28]
