    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.
