Susannah Thornhill Coleman, daughter of Reuben had a son, William Bryant Coleman who married my great grandmther, Angeline Williams. I have all their desendants and a good bit on the Williams line.Reuben's father, John left a will in Bourbon County, KY which is available on Bourbon's website. Reuben died in Grant County, but his brother, John left the county. The Thornhills were millers and owned much land along Eagle and Clark's Creeks. The Musselman family is written up in Footsteps of the Past published by the Grant County News Issue 13. They settled on Musselman Creek in Grant Colunty near the Scott County line. Christopher Musselman (1756-1846) and Patsy White son was Jacob married to Mary Reddinghour Sept 7 1818 in Pendleton County (this was before Grant became a county in 1820). Descendant A. J Musselman moved west. James Harris Musselman married Eliabeth Lusby in 1851 when he was 32 and she was 16. Their son, John Harris had a daughter, Dimple who marriedCarl Sheriff and taught school.
