"BIOGRAPHY: Pfitz Musigh, the original ancestor of the Hendrick Mesick branch, was born in Germany in 1694, immigrated in 1719, landed at Germantown, NY; and settled in the northern part of Livingston Manor, on a life-leased farm of 168 acres; 7 miles distant from the head of Warren Street, Hudson; 1 1/2 miles from Glenco Mills; and 1 1/4 miles east of Post Road between Albany and New York. Tradition says he brought all his property in a wheelbarrow, proof of the sacrifices made on religious principles. The name of Ffitz Musigh appears on a list of Freeholders made out in 1720 (Documentary History of New York, Vol 1, p 424.). He built a small but substantial log house, which in 1883 was 125 years old, still standing and inhabited.In the double door of this log house was a bullet hole which, tradition says, was made by a blunderbuss in the hands of Tories, who attempted to rob and murder the old man, who was reputed to have some money in his dwelling. The Tories took him three times to the cellar and hung him from the beam overhead to compel him to divulge the hiding place of his treasure; but his neighbors rallied to his rescue, and the Tories were alarmed and escaped. This fact indicates that he survived 1776 and reached his 85th year."
