Father - James Money
Mother - Mary Jane "Polly" Fox Money

Milton was four or five years of age when his father died in Green County. His mother took him and his brother, James Albert, to Clark County.

Clark County deed records show several land purchases and sales by the two brothers:

"Money, Milton V. & c and James A. & c from Sharp, Moses &c *
1841 39 1/2 acres ($240)
...from Stewart, Benj. F. & c Rachel Stewart, 1845, 14 acres
($140) Howard's Upper Creek
...From Allen, Wm & Wife. 1846 14 acres ($140)

...From Stewart, Joseph & c 1847 14 acres, 2r, 7 p ($185)

...To Parrish, Meredity 1849 67 A, 2 R 7 P on Duncan's Branch
of Howard's upper creek ($1,000)

...To Rice, Benj. C. 1849 14 A, 2 R 7 P ($232)"

Milton was shown to be living in Spencer County, Kentucky, in 1849

He and James Albert bought a 156 acre farm on Brashears Creek near Olive Branch in the southwestern section of Shelby County, Ky., from Major Holloway on December 25, 1850. On March 1, 1854, they sold 47 acres and 83 poles of this farm to John Boswell for $1,663.00.

On the same day they bought 101 acres and 78 poles of land near Finchville in Shelby County, from James H. Stone and his wife. The farm was located on Buck Creek Road about three tenths of a mile from its junction with Clark Station Road. They paid $3,856.50.

The two brothers dissolved their partnership on November 28, 1857, signing a Deed of Partition. Milton V. kept the Brashears Creek farm and James A. received the farm on the head waters of Buck Creek near Finchville.

Milton evidently sold his farm for on March 10, 1859, he bought 145 acres for $7,284.67 from Gad Davis on the right side of Buck Creek between the Clark Station and Fisherville Roads, a short distance from James Albert's farm.

Six years later he and James bought 31 acres from Richard H. Cox for $2,125.37 "on the waters of Buck Creek," facing the Buck Creek - Simpsonville Road. On May 15, 1871, James Albert sold 11 acres "on the waters of Buck Creek" to Milton for $563.32.

Milton Money belonged to the Old School Baptist Church at Bethel, near Clay Village, Shelby County, 14 miles from his home at Finchville. That was a long trip to make regularly by horse and buggy. Thge Finchville Baptist Church was located on the edge of his farm, but it was not the Old School or "Hardshell" Baptist Church.

He died in 1890 while visiting his son, Dr. James William Money, in Herrington, Kansas. His obituary was written by the Reverend P. W. Sawin, pastor of the Old School Baptist Church. It appeared in a church paper, "Signs of the Times:"

"Died - Sept. 8th, 1890, Deacon M. V. Money, aged 73 years, 5 months and 10 days.

Brother Money was born in Bath Co., Ky., March 28, 1817, his father dying when he was about five years old. He remained with his mother, caring for her until he was thirty years old, when he was united in marriage to Margaret H. Hardesty. To them were born seven children (six sons and one daughter) all now living.

"He joined the Old School Baptist Church at Bethel, Shelby County, Ky., in the year 1868, and was baptized by the late Elder J. F. Johnson. He lived a faithful member unti the day of his death. Perhaps none were more prompt in their attendance. Although living fourteen miles away, yet he was never too busy, nor seldom was it too cold, to attend his church meeting. His seat was filled if it were possible for him to get there.

"In April last brother and sister Money started on a visit to spend the summer with relatives and friends in Missouri and Kansas. While in Kansas at their son's (Dr. James William Money), he was taken sick with catarrah of the stomach and bowels. He bore his sufferings without murmur or complaint, and peacefully and sweetly passed away without a struggle or a groan.

"He was brought back to Shelby County and buried in the cemetery near Shelbyville. Getting to Shelbyville late in the day, the funeral was deferred until the first Sunday in October, at the Bethel meeting-housed, when the unworthy writer spoke from Job XIV, 14.

"He leaves a dear wife, his children, one brother, the church and numerous friends who mourn their loss. He died as he had lived, in the faith. May the Lord resign us to his will, and give us grace to bow to him and drink of the river of his blessing.

P. W. Sawin
Pleasureville, Ky."

His widow and children sold the farm "on the waters of Buck Creek," then containing 195 acres, to John Taylor Money, eldest son of James Albert Money, for $8,709.73.
