Genealogical Record of the Descendants of Henry Mauzy : A Huguenot Refugee, the Ancestor of the Mauzys of Virginia and Other States, from 1685 to 1910, and of the Descendants of Jacob Kisling, from 1760 to 1910 (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Genealogical Record of the Descendants of Henry Mauzy: A Huguenot Refugee, the Ancestor of the Mauzys of Virginia and Other States, From 1685 to 1910, and of the Descendants of Jacob Kisling, From 1760 to 1910

One of the descendants of the Fontaines was Col. Fontaine, who, fifty years ago, was President of the Virginia Central Railroad, now the Chesapeake Ohio.

It will be observed that the name was Mauzy (pronounced Mozee, with the accent on the last syllable, and the first slightly sounded) when our ancestor crossed the British Channel to England, and has been so spelled ever since wherever found in the U. S., with the exception of a single case, so far' as we are informed, who spells his name Mozee, and he says his name was originally spelled Mauzy and pronounced Mozee.
