General Notes: Husband - Philip Musser

---

This is one of one of the pioneer families of Pennsylvania, the ancestors having come from Germany during the Colonial period to settle in Linn township, Northampton County. The first of this branch of the family to locate in Penn's Valley were Philip Musser and a brother, Sebastian, to whom numerous descendants trace their lineage.

According to the best authority, in the year 1789 Philip Musser located on a farm in Gregg township, Centre County, where he remained until his death. He left eight children: five daughters and three sons.

There is confusion in the sources regarding the names of his daughters. "Polly" is often a nickname for a girl named "Mary." "Mary Magdelene" is a combination of names often given by parents to a daughter.

He came with John Shook about the year 1789.
