Sometime after Leon was born Ellen passed away and Bob married May. During the 1930 Census Bob and May moved to an area identified as Precinct 20, Putnam, Florida; This census shows; Robt M. Milton, age 36, farmer, turpentine, not a veteran, born in Florida, father born in North Carolina and mother born in Georgia, wife May, age 19 born in Florida as were her parents, children in household, sons Jay age 11, Johnie age 9, Willie age 7, Robert age 5, Leon age 3, daughters Jessie age 15 and Clara age 13. The family rented their home and did not live on a farm.

Sometime after the 1930 census, the family moved Suwannee Shoals area. The final disposition of his marriage to May is unknown. However it was short lived as Bob was enumerated back in Benton, this time married to Sarah Frances Melton during the 1935 State of Florida Census. Robert Mallory Milton was age 40, turpentine, grade 8; Frances, mother, age 34, 4th grade education; JW son, age 17, 10th grade; Johnie, son 15, 9th grade; Leon son, age 8, 1st grade.

During the 1940s, Bob was a Forman at the J. C. Marsh Turpentine Company. The family lived in a house in the immediate vicinity of the turpentine camp for an undetermined number of years. Bob and Francis' nephew Harry Lee Crews would spend his summers "dipping gum" for his Uncle Bob. Harry Lee went on to state his Uncle Bob slept with all his cash and a large caliber pistol under his pillow. He was not fond of banks.

During the 1945 State of Florida Census R. M. Milton was residing in Suwannee Shoals, Columbia County, FL he is age 51 and is farmer; Francis his wife is age 44, son Leon is age 18 and in the Navy, Johnie age 24 occupation illegible and Robert Jr. is age 21, and also in the Navy.

As the couple grew older and all the children had moved on, Bob and Francis purchased a home in town (Lake City). Bob passed away there 8 Nov 1965 and is interred in Memorial Cemetery in Lake City. Francis survived Bob by many years and remained in the home, entertaining family on numerous occassions. She passed away 19 June 1990 and was laid to rest next to her husband.

Notes
General:
Solomon Milton age 41 b. 3 Jan 1859 in FL, was enumerated with his family in the 1900 census in Pct 2 of Columbia Co., FL. The family:
Wife Louisa"Louizer" formally Kirkland, age 41 b. 9/1859 in GA, son Augustus age 16 b. 3/1884 in FL, daughter Addie age 14 b. 1/1886 in FL, son George M. age 14 b. 12/1887 in FL, son Robert (uncle Bob) age 6 b. 2/1894 in FL.

Solomon Milton, Sr. age 51 b. in FL, was enumerated with his "new" family in the 1910 census in Pct 2 of Columbia Co., FL. the new family:
Wife "May" age 22, son Robert (uncle Bob) age 16, daughter Effie age 4, son Cauly age 3, and son Soloman Jr. age 1.

Birth: Jan. 3, 1859
Columbia County
Florida, USA
Death: Mar. 2, 1918
Benton
Columbia County
Florida, USA

Soloman R. Milton was born at Suwannee Shoals, Columbia County, FL. He married Louisa Kirkland on 01 Oct 1879 in Columbia County, FL. Louisa Kirkland was born 20 Nov 1857 and died 17 Jan 1900.She is buried in Oak Lawn Cemetery. They had at least 4 children as follows: Augustus Milton b. 22 Mar 1884; Addie Milton b. 29 Jan 1887;George Madison Milton b. 21 Dec 1888; and Robert Mallery Milton b. 19 Feb. 1894. In the 1910 Census a Soloman Milton, age 51, in Benton, Columbia, Florida is listed with the following children: May 22, Robert 16, Effie 4, and Soloman Milton, Jr. age 1. I believe that Soloman R. Milton Jr. 1909-1930 and Caullie M. Milton 1907-1942 that are buried beside each other in the Oak Lawn Cemetery are Soloman Milton, Sr.'s children.
