Muscoe Last Name History & Origin
AddSummary
Insofar as the Muscoe’s in my bloodline goes, we did not start out with the last name of Muscoe. Until the mid to late 1800’s, we went by the last name of Ance or Anse, which means “hope” in the Native Chippewa (Ojibwa) tongue. Why or how our last name radically changed from Ance or Anse to Muscoe, I do not know.

Early Muscoes
These are the earliest records we have of the Muscoe family.
Marguerite Muscoe of Michigan was born on November 20, 1891, and died at age 71 years old in June 1963.
Isaac was one of my Grandpa, Mitchell J. Muscoe’s, brothers. I am not sure, but Isaac might have been the one whose arm was unfortunately struck by lightning and shriveled up. Of course, that might have been the unfortunate event that happened to one of the other brothers, Frank or John. Not sure.
Margaret A Muscoe of Hessel, Mackinac County, MI was born on December 13, 1923, and died at age 78 years old on March 14, 2002.
Mitchell J Muscoe of Hessel, Mackinac County, MI was born on May 22, 1925, and died at age 72 years old on January 31, 1998.
Uncle Bob. Out of all five of the Muscoe Brothers, my dad, Donald (brother #4), and Robert had the closest relationship with each other. Aside from being flesh and blood, the two men just cliqued with each other and shared similar interests, humor and intelligence. When my Uncle Bob died, my Dad was so broken hearted and could not stop crying. He was advised by his Doctor not to fly in an airplane as he had congestive heart failure and his Doctor said the change in altitude, et cetera, might kill him. Come hell or high water, my Dad was determined to make it back to his hometown of Cedarville, Michigan to pay his last respects to his Best Friend in Life and Big Brother, Bob.
Kenneth D Muscoe of Trenton, Wayne County, MI was born on October 18, 1928, and died at age 81 years old on March 16, 2010.
Donald L Muscoe of Torrance, Los Angeles County, CA was born on October 14, 1930, and died at age 75 years old on October 12, 2006.
Donald Leroy Muscoe was born on October 14, 1930 in Detroit, Michigan, Wayne County, U.S.A. to parents Mitchell J. Muscoe and Marguerite Muscoe (Hutchinson). Donald was the fourth of five sons born to his full blooded Native American Dad from the Chippewa (Ojibwa) Tribe and his blue-eyed, raven haired wife of Irish descent. Both parents stood at at least 6 foot tall and, thus, Donald and his four brothers—Mitchell, Robert, Kenneth and Eugene— grew to become men with towering, yet humble, presences.
The boys’ dad, Mitchell, died from complications due to diabetes in 1939, when young Donny was just nine years old. The loss of his dad cut into his soul deeply and he held on to every memory he could of his Old Man until the day Donny himself died, including some of the words of the Native Chippewa language his dad was teaching Donny before his Diabetes got the better of him.
Don remembered his Dad, laid out in his open casket in the “living room” of the tiny shack the big family called home in his tiny hometown of Cedarville, Michigan. The loss of his Dad made young Donny become fiercely protective of his Mom, Marguerite, and somehow responsible for the welfare of his brothers, especially the youngest brother of all, Eugene Phillip Muscoe. Donny made a promise to himself to look after and consider his Mom and brothers’ needs above his own, no matter what. He kept that promise and eventually carried it over to the family he would create with Marlene Lewis much later in his life.
Although Marguerite Muscoe was a University educated woman with teaching credentials, substitute teaching jobs were few and far between in the middle of The Great Depression. She made some money as a seamstress, but the fatherless family relied upon the Welfare system and whatever one of the boys might be able to hunt down and kill for dinner. Donald said that sometimes the best he and his brothers could do was find some frogs to kill and bring home for that night’s meal. Don stated that, while frog legs had eventually become part of some sort of high-end French cuisine menu, when he and his brothers brought frogs home for the evening’s fair, it was a source of shame and ridicule. Eating frog legs were considered to be a sign of poverty and desperation.
Donna M Muscoe of Cedarville, Mackinac County, MI was born on July 30, 1931, and died at age 72 years old on January 8, 2004.
David Muscoe of Kincheloe, Chippewa County, Michigan was born on October 17, 1944, and died at age 38 years old in July 1983.

Updated Muscoe Biographies
Mitchell E. Muscoe was the son of Donald and E. Marlene Muscoe (Lewis), brother of Cheryl L. Muscoe, and Uncle to Zachary Taylor Muscoe-Phinney and Shane Donald Volz. Mitch—as he preferred to be called— was born and raised in Southern California, primarily in the city of Torrance. He was a good baseball player, a loyal friend, a constant worker, champion dart player, avid fan of The Los Angeles Rams, and a fabulous Dog Dad to his two mini pinschers.
Fun Fact: Mitch shares the same birthday of August 21st as our Grandpa Mitchell Muscoe who died in 1939. Our Grandpa Mitchell Muscoe lived and died in Cedarville, Michigan. He was a full-blooded Native from the First Nation Tribe of Chippewas, also known as Ojibwa.
The pursuit of love took him to Rhode Island and, when that did not work out, he bought a home in Ava, Missouri to live near his friend from Torrance High School, Bob.
Mitchell’s favorite movie was “The Big Lebowski” and he enjoyed listening to classic rock and playing World of Warcraft online.
Mitch was an awnry dude, however, ultimately, he was a solid and tender hearted man. He will be missed. Heaven has gained an Angel in Mitchell Eugene Muscoe, my Big Brother.
