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.
