Hi,
Daniel is not my direct ancestor. His brother, Henry was. However, I thought you might
be interested to know that I have visited Daniel's house. It is still in the hands of
a direct descendent, believe it or not, John Mossburg and his wife, Chris. They were kind
enough to allow us to see their home and we were fascinated by it. John's father,
Robert was the family historian prior to his death.
My sister, Peggy Mossburg Nichoson and I had the privilege of also handling and
photographing Rev. Henry's rifle. Neither of us likes guns but this one was special.
It is the one Rev. Henry used to provide his family with food.
We have a copy of a sonnet written by Ethelinda Mossburg Day describing the homeplace,
inside and out. It is the present site of the Mossburg Cemetery. If anyone is
interested, we would be happy to share it.
We would love to hear from anyone who would like to share information.
