She married Reuben James Cason (eldest son of John M & Rebecca L Cason) in Howard County MO on 16 Feb 1852. They had six children all born in Howard County: Ella, Teresa, Adger McCrory, Lewis R, James Howard and Reuben Lewis.
Reuben James Cason fought with General Sterling Price on the Confederate side during the civil war. The Union forces set fire to the Cason house in Howard County and the story goes that their infant son, Reuben Lewis, was thrown from the second floor and caught by his Uncle Jody Cropp to escape the flames.
Her husband drowned in the sinking of the Kentucky in the Red River, right after his parole from the Confederate army at the end of the civil war. Melvina Mildred, accompanied by her brother Joel Hardin (Jody) Cropp, brought the family to Holt County in the early 1880s.
The genealogy of Melvina Mildred and her family is documented in the "The Cropp Family of America" by Ruth Cropp King (1986).
