Inspite of going somewhat bonkers looking thru burial records for Mennonite Cemetery in Harmony and also the census, I think (????) I might have found a family connection. My gr-gr-gmother was Mary Ann Musselman and I'm pretty sure she was born in Harmony. Have found a Reuben and Ann N.(Nancy) in 1860 census in Harmony with a daughter, Mary, age 9. That would make her about the right age to have married my gr-gr-gfather, James Richard Garvin. It appears Reuben & wife (who goes by 'Nancy' in every census except 1860) moved from New Brighton, Beaver Co., some time between 1850 & 1860. The 1870 census shows Nancy as a widow, so Reuben must have died between 1860 and 1870. Find both of them in Menn.Cem. , Reuben 1816-1867 and Nancy 1818-1893. Nancy's headstone says she was dau. of Abraham Ziegler, Jr. Am wondering if there is anyone on the list who might be researching either the Musselman or Ziegler families that can confirm any of the above or shed any light at all on these families. I plan to visit the area in a couple of weeks and, also, will be giving the library some info on the cemetery which I was able to obtain from the Harmony Museum.

Hello Pat, I'm not sure if this will help you. I have a Mary BUZARD b. about 1837 who married 2nd Washington MUSSELMAN born about 1838. In 1880 they lived in Butler. In 1900 Mary appears to be a widow. Two of their children are Charles L. born about 1873 and Thomas J. born about 1875. I work on so many lines, that I never followed through on this one. However, I would be willing to do it now, if you're interested. I'm going to see if I can find Charles and Thomas on military records, etc. Bev in Calif. ----- Original Message ----- From: "PATRICIA HARRIS" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, September 01, 2007 10:24 AM Subject: [PABUTLER] Zeigler & Musselman families > Inspite of going somewhat bonkers looking thru burial records for > Mennonite > Cemetery in Harmony and also the census, I think (????)
