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.
