According to Perdita Williams book:
George Washington Musser once lived in Kentucky. Legend says that somewhere on the trip to Virginia, he swam a river with his wife on his back. This happened before Eugene was born.

Became a miller by trade and at one time operated the old Thompson Atkins mill near Atkins, VA

Enlisted in the Confederate States Army on September 4, 1861 at Marion, Virginia in Companny F, 23rd Batalion, Virginia Infantry under Captain W. H. McDonald. He enlisted to serve one year and was sent to Camp Jackson near Wytheville for training. He served immediately under Colonel Derrick and Captain J. C. Killinger. (Carl Wilson Musser, Sr.]

According to Virginia pension records and including F. S. Snavely's sworn affidavit in support of George Musser's claim to a pension as a Confederate veteran, George Musser, Sr., was wounded at the Battle of New Market, VA on May 15, 1864 and taken to the hospital at Staunton. [Carl Wilson Musser, Sr.] According to George Musser's own statment, he was then sent to the Confederate Hospital at Emory and Henry College. [Carl Wilson Musser, Sr.]

Deserted the confederate army after this convalesence and moved to Kentucky to avoid being punished by the "Confederate Police."
Probably in January, 1865 he was tracked down in Kentucky by the Confederate Police. He was able to escape being caught by going onto the roof of the house he and his wife were staying in. By the next morning they couple were across the Ohio River in the Union state of Ohio. His wife was probably 7-8 months pregnant at this time [Carl Wilson Musser, Sr].
