Philip Mosser (son of Burkhard, Sr.), was born in the Goshenhoppen, and settled in Lynn Township. On May23, 1750, a proprietary warrant was given to Sebastian Mosser (the relation of this person and aforesaid Philip is uncertain; some suppose them to be brothers; others, since on June 10, 1761, the above tract was conveyed to Philip, regard him as the father of Philip, which is altogether likely, since a Sebastian Mosser came to America Sept. 23, 1732, being under sixteen years).

One Johannes Mock, by warrant dated Aug. 13, 1746, obtained a tract of land called "Little Belt," which he deeded unto Philip Mosser under date May 2, 1763, the latter conveyed this land unto David Mosser, his son, on Jan. 29, 1798. Philip Mosser by application Number 3918 obtained a warrant for a tract of land called "Emfworth," in Lynn, bearing date of April 27, 1769. This tract, with other lands he conveyed unto David Mosser, his son, on Aug. 2, 1805. A springhouse built in 1794, by Philip Mosscr is still standing at Mosserville, on the property of Mr. Lewis F. Mosser.
