    1. [PaDgo] Re: To FawnTrail: Brethren Migration from Frederick Co. MD to Washington Co.,...
    2. hello, No I do not know the name of the church or township. All I have to go on is a 1901 letter written by Florence Musser stating her father Daniel was B. in PA (1850 census of Ky also shows him b. in PA). Florence also stated that her grand parents were Catherine and Christian Musser. In 1800 there was a Christian in Strabane Twn in Washington Co. There were only two in 1800 census and thisone had a wife Catherine. They moved to Coshocton , Ohio. Catherine is burried at Robinson Run cemetery near the town of McDonald in Allegheney Co PA. One dau and a son are buried there. A possible grandson Robert Sturgeon Muser was born in Noblestown in Allegheney C. North Fayette Township is where othr children lived. The only other clue that I have is that Daniel was a hatter by trade. His tombstone reads Daniel Musser b. 24 Jun 1793 and D.15 Sept 1851. He died of cholera in Cynthiana , KY. He had son Adolphus (Union Sodier) who became an attorney and newspaper man in Plattsburg, Mo. : Col.Richard H. attorney and newspaper (editor) (confederate) and JAG for Gen Sterling Price in Civil War: Robert W. Musser , (Union soldier) attorney and newspaper editor: Caleb, a newspaper editor and Daniel, killed in Civil War (confederate) Col. Richard Musser was guardian for Florence and had her placed in a convent for safety during the war . She became a nun. Col Richard also joined the Catholic church (due to nursing care by he nuns onthe battlefield.) Adolphus married Martha Cheatham (a Dunkard) in Plattsburg ,MO I need diumentation for Daniels birth Jun 24 , 1793.
