General Notes: Husband - Peter Musselman

---

He was born in the house on the home farm, which he later inherited, and in which his whole life was spent. The house was a substantial stone structure, built in 1822. There his father and mother both died after rearing a numerous family. The scene around it differed from what it was when John Musselman first came there. It was then covered with heavy woods, with but few roads. When he was married to Mary Reiff, in Cashtown, Adams County, he had to proceed there on horseback, there being no wagon-road between the two places. In his son's time the valley was full of fine farms, in an excellent state of cultivation, good roads leading in every direction, and a prosperous community, living where but few people could earlier have been found.
He worked on his father's farm until the latter's death, when he and his brother, Daniel, lived together on it for four years. Daniel was married, but Peter was single, and on the latter's marriage the former removed to a farm, which he owned, adjoining Fairfield, Peter owning the home farm.
