The great-grandfather of Michael Musselman came into the township with a
son, 15 year old, in 1743, and bought land of William Allen, on which he
built a log house, still standing, and used as a dwelling, near the Mennonite
meeting-house, not far from the Milford and Steinsburg turnpike. The
great-grandson, Michael Musselman, over 80 years of age, now lives in the old
house where, probably, three generations of the family were born. An adjoining
tract thenowned by William Roberts, now belongs to Jacob W. Shelly. Probably
the oldeststone house, in the northwest section of the county, stands in the
southeast corner of Milford, a mile from Trumbauersville, near the road from
Bunker Hillto Sumneytown. It was built in 1740 or 1742, by Thomas Roberts,
and now belongs to the estate of John Wonsidler. The stone house of Daniel H.
Kline was built in 1756.

Mennonite Historical Society of Canada
A Mennonite family name, probably Swiss in origin, Musselman is still found in
both Europe and America. Several Mennonite cultural and religious leaders have
been members of the Musselman family. Jacob Musselman emigrated from
Europe in 1743 and settled in Bucks County,Pa. He bought some land which
included the first Swamp Mennonite Church (MC) meetinghouse (near the
location of the West Swamp General Conference MennoniteChurch), but
for which no deed had been granted. His son Michael Musselman was
ordained preacher in the Swamp district before 1773. Michael's son
Samuel Musselman (1764-1842) became a bishop (MC) in the Swamp district.

Yoder family designation is YB1 (son of Hans of Great Swamp)
(non-Amish listing)

John Jr is mentioned as overseer of will ofGeorge Bachman, will of 1753,
filed in Philadelphia. Is this the source thatcauses folks to think his
wife is a Bachman? His wife couldn't be a child, because his children
weren't born until after 1717. See this website which has information
from George Bachman's family bible:
http://www.phillipsplace.net/genealogy/ps01/ps01_074.html
