The 1860 census records the family's surname as Mercer. At that time, 28 year old farmer John Mercer lived in Jefferson Twp., Noble County, Ohio with his 25 year old wife Catherine and their children George (5), Elizabeth (4), and Catherine (1). Also living in the household was John's 12 year old brother-in-law Adam Miller. Neither John nor Catherine could read or write.
By 1880, the family had moved to a farm Enoch Twp., Noble County, Ohio. The household contained John Musher (53), his wife Catherine (45) and sons John (18) and Joseph (16). Both boys attended school. Also living in he home were John's 23 year old married daughter "Elizabeth Moot" (Muth) and her children John (2) and Magie (1). Elizabeth's husband Theodore Muth did not live with them at the time of the census. According to the census, the parents of John Musher Sr. were born in France. Adjacent households in the census were those of L. G. Paxton and John W. Ball.
According to records at St. Mary's in Fulda, the Musher family moved to Pittsburgh, PA in 1881. John Musher, Sr. has not been found in any census after 1880.
Five of Catherine Miller Musher's nine children survived to adulthood.
From Thomas Singer:
Catherine Miller Marscher died 17 Jan 1882 and was buried with her sister, Maria Miller Singer and her niece Applona Singer on Nunnery Hill in Allegheny City (Pittsburgh) PA. No death record could be found for Catherine Miller Marcher (Musher) for the years 1881-1882 by the Allegheny County Health Dept. A record was found in the death register of St. Wenceslaus church. Pg 329, year 1882.
Eight yeawr old Marian Musher was not listed with the family in the 1860 census. It is presumed that she died before then.
In 1910, unmarried "Jerry" Musher lived in the home of his brother, John, in Pittsburgh. Both men worked as laborers in a rolling mill.
At the time of the 1930 census, Joseph Musher (65) lived in the Home for the Aged run by the Little Sisters of the Poor in Pittsburgh.
