General Notes: Husband - John Musselman

---

He was born in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, and came to Adams County in 1804, settling on "Carroll's Tract," near Fairfield, where he bought two farms, one being for his brother David (who, however, went to Canada instead of coming there, so John kept both farms). John at one time sold the farm to a relative, but bought it back in 1847. He went on a visit to Canada on horseback, and returned in company with Joseph Kittinger.
He accumulated a large property, and left to his heirs eight improved farms and several pieces of mountain land.
