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
