  • Philip was taxed for 50 acres of land during 1783 and acquired 300 acres of Land Warranty on 4 December 1784 in Hempfield Township. (Penn's Archives, Milliron Records). The 1800 Federal Census, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, lists Philip living in Wheatfield Township; the 1810 and 1830 Federal Census Records show Philip living in Fairfield Township, where he died around 1836. At the time of his death, Philip owned some 500 acres of land.

    A Founder of Milliron Church:
    The original log church first served a congregation that withdrew from Harrold's Church over strife among Lutherans and Reformeds during the time Rev. Weber was establishing churches throughout southwestern Pennsylvania. Records indicate that Tobias Long and Philip Muelheisen, signers together with Rev. Weber, of the original Weber property documents, largely were influential in the founding of the Muelheisen Church, eventually called "Milliron," the English translation of Muelheisen, a German name.

    The John William Weber Memorial Site History:
    An itinerant, or circuit-riding minister typical of the times, Rev. Weber had been criss-crossing these western Pennsylvania hills founding new churches since 1783. Seeking to perpetuate his church work, Rev. Weber. Together with several members of a recently founded congregation, purchased the property for "two pounds and 10 shillings lawful money of Pennsylvania . . . forever in trust for the use of said German Reformed Presbyterian Congregations for erecting and building a church school-house and other necessary buildings and improvements from time to time to be made thereon," as stated in a deed signed June 23, 1802 and recorded February 15, 1820. This document is filed in Deed Book 14, page 228 in the Recorder of Deeds office, Westmoreland County Court House, in Greensburg, PA.

    The purchase was preceded by a grant-of-land warrant issued some years earlier, on February 13, 1786, with a follow-up survey made on September 6, 1786, on recorded in Survey Book 1, page 57, at the Westmoreland County Recorder of Deeds office.

    Then, while not recorded officially until 1870, there also exists at the Court House in Greensburg, in Deed Book 66, page 86, an additional instrument, dated March 6, 1813, specifying more clearly the use and purpose for the property purchase. Signed by William Weaver (Weber) and Philip Milleison (Muelheisen), it states further, in part, that "be it further understood that all members of the Reformed Presbyterian Congregation . . . and their heirs, are hereby entitled to an equal privilege (s.c.) on the same as a place of worship School and Burying Ground forever during the ages; as long as Sun and Moon shines, Water runs and Trees grow, none of the members Connected in the said Congregation shall have a privilege to make sale of said land to any person whatsoever, or in anywise put the same to any other use . . ."

    According to historical records, a log structure, known originally as the Muelheisen Church, was erected on the site, and the adjacent cemetery established, where the remains of Rev. Weber are interred.

    The existing Chapel was known earlier as the Milliron Church, "Milliron" being the English translation of the German name Muelheisen, the same Philip Muelheisen being one of those largely influential in founding the original congregation, together with Tobias Long and Rev. Weber. The church served a small congregation of Reformed churchgoers until dissolution around the year 1869 and then, in 1956,was refurbished by the former Pittsburgh Synod of the Reformed Church (now United Church of Christ) as a memorial to Pastor Weber.

    The original log church first served a congregation that withdrew from Harrold's Church over strife among Lutherans and Reformeds during the time Rev. Weber was establishing churches throughout southwestern Pennsylvania. Records indicate that Tobias Long and Philip Muelheisen, signers together with Rev. Weber, of the original Weber property documents, largely were influential in the founding of the Muelheisen Church, eventually called "Milliron," the English translation of Muelheisen, a German name.
