    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

    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.
