This was in the 1731 Sons of Am Rev application by Earl Hamilton Payne:
In his pension application he stopped with his service at the Stafford old Court house. He did not give any other details or incidents connected with his military service, nor did he mention the date of his removing from Virginia.
Persons living here remember hearing him say often that he did not get all his service in the pension application.
Hon Elijah Hackelman of Walash, Ind, in his reminisences of 50 years ago published about 15 years ago says - "Late in the Fall or Winter of 1832, a malignant fever visited that part of the County Rush carrying off a great many people, among its victims was Peter Mausy and wife. After this sad dispensation of Providence, William Mauzy became an immate of my father's family. We found him to be a very intelligent, well read, man and quite a historian and I feel greatly indebted to his memory for the many vivid and truthful incidents of the Revolution, including a description of many personal travails of General Wayne and LaFayette under whom he served. He was a Baptist preacher and took pastoral charge of the Little Flat Rock church. Mr Hackleman tells incidents of the surrender of Yorktown told him by said Mauzy.

William Mauzy moved from Va to Burton County, KY in 1793 - moved from there to Rush Co, Indiana in 1830 and died here.

Three of his sons - John, Peter and Silas married three sisters, daughters of Cornelius Goodding. They all had large families.
