ANNA MOSSER/MUSSER 1836-1917
ANNA MOSSER/MUSSER: According to her marriage license to Benjamin Franklin Musselman, she was the daughter of Michael and Fanny (Albright) Mosser/Musser. She was born in 1836 and died in 1917, apparently a life long resident of Lancaster County, PA. She was the mother of Elizabeth Musselman, who married Charles Garner - making her my gr-gr-gr- grandmother.
The marriage license of Benjamin F. Musselman and Anna Mosser/Musser on Jan. 25, 1853 in Lancaster, PA. Benjamin and Anna are known to have had at least 10 children over a span of about 15 years.
This photo is undated, but prior to April 1912 when Benjamin died. The couple on right is Ben (standing) and Anna (sitting). The woman on left is labeled as a daughter, but I have no idea which one. Does anyone out there know? Please contact me if you know who the other 3 people in the photo are. I am thinking it appears to be a 4 generation photo......
BENJAMIN FRANKLIN MUSSELMAN 1831-1912
BENJAMIN FRANKLIN MUSSELMAN:
Benjamin was born in 1831 and died in 1912. He apparently resided in Lancaster County, PA his entire life. He was the father of Elizabeth Musselman, who married Charles Garner - making Benjamin my gr-gr-gr grandfather.
The below photo of him during the Civil War was given to me in among all the other photos from Grandma Garner. It was not labeled and I set it aside until it could be identified. Later 2 different distant cousins mentioned it but R. Schneider actually shared a labeled copy - I was excited to know who the person was.
He served in the Civil War in Company E of the 135th Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry from Aug. 1862 until May 1863.
Benjamin is line 4 on the above document.

**I want to thank a distant cousin, R. Schneider, for sharing his thoughts and research on our mutual ancestors**
