His (Henry's) second son, John about 1720, married Hester Foote, and had following children: Henry, b 1721; John 1723; William 1725; Priscilla 1727; Peter 1730; Elizabeth 1734; Jemima 1740.
==========================
The John and Henry Mauzys get mixed up here for me and I will have to do more research:
John Henry Mauzy was born December 11, 1675 in Larochelle, France, and died 1718 in Fauquier County, Virginia. He fled to England with his father, brothers and sister about the time of the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes in 1685. He was naturalized as an English citizen around 1687. He married the daughter (name unknown) of Dr. William Connyers, a London physician. "In the Land Grant records for the northern neck of Virginia will be found the thrid Mauze, John, mentioned in connection with a land grant to Edward Mountjoy in 1702. This John Mauze is also listed as a public officer for Stafford County, VA, in 1714, along with Gerge Mason, John Waugh, John West, Rice Hooe, John Washington, James Sumner, Dade Massie, George Anderson, Henry Fitzhugh, Thomas Lunn, Rowling Travis, Thomas Gregg, and the minister, a Mr Scott of St Paul and Overwharton Parishes. Then John Mauze, Gentleman, is referred to on the tombstone of his daughter Margaret, who married Peter Hedgeman, Gentleman, Stafford County, VA. It is quite possible that John came to Charles Town, Charleston SC, along with Jeanne Elizabeth MAuze and her husband Peter Videau" ("the Mauzey-Mauzy Family" by Armand Jean Mauzy, MD, DSC). John and ??? Connyers had three children: John, George, and Margaret. After her death he married Mary Crosby Mountjoy, a widow, and they had two children. Mary Crosby (later Mary Crosby Mountjoy Mauzy Waugh) after the death of his first wife. She had been referred to as Much Marrying Mary, because of her 3 marriages to Edward Mountjoy, John Mauzy and Rev Joseph Waugh. A study of the Mauze records strongly suggests that the common Mauzey-Mauzy ancestor in America was John Mauze, born in England about 1675, second son of Michael Mauze, born in France about 1650.
From Ancestry.com:
John Mauzey b. 1696 in England George Mauzy b. 1698 in England William Mauzy b. in England Isabel Mauzy b. in England Margaret Mauzy b. 1702 in Virginia.
Henry fled from France in 1685, emmigrated to Virginia and settled in Fauquier county. He married probably in England, a daughter of a Dr. Conyers. Their son, John Mauzy, married Hester Foote, grand-aunt of Hon Henry S. Foote, of the United States and Confederate States Congresses and Governor of Mississippi (This is in error - their son John married Hester Connyers, his first cousin - it is his grandson, John, that married Hester Foote).
In the Land Grant records for the northern neck of Virginia will be found the third Mauze, John, mentioned in connection with a land grant to Edward Mountjoy in 1702. This John Mauze is also listed as a public officer for Stafford County, VA, in 1714, along with George Mason, John Waugh, John West, Rice Hooe, John Washington, James Sumner, Dade Massie, George Anderson, Henry Fitzhugh, Thomas Lunn, Rowling Travis, Thomas Gregg, and the minister, a Mr Scott of St Paul and Overwharton Parishes. Then John Mauze, Gentleman, is referred to on the tombstone of his daughter Margaret, who married Perter Hedgeman, Gentleman, Stafford County, VA, 21 Se[t 1721, and died 1754 at the age of 52 years. Margaret was therefore born in 1702 after her father arrived in VA. It is quite possible that John came to Charles Town, Charleston, SC, along with Jeanne Elizabeth Mauze and her husband Peter Videau.

Michael Mauze was born about 1650 in France and died 1690. He married (2) Elizabeth ??. Michael and his children, Michael, Jr, Peter, John, and Isabel, were naturalized at the English Court at White Hall by Royal Letters Dec 16, 1687 and again on Jan 5, 1688, This is the only entry in all the Huguenot records of England and Ireland referring to Michael Mauze and his children. The Mauzey-Mauzy family is of French origin and is an outgrowth if the name Mauze (Moze). It played an important part in the religious troubles which swept across France during the 16th and 17th centuries and was represented as it is today, by vigorous protestant minnisters. The family resided chiefly in an area bounded on the north by Loudun, on the east by Poitiers, and on the south and west by the coastal cities of Rochefort and LaRochelle. The focal point was the village of Mauze (Moze) Sur Le Mignon in Aunis, about twenty miles east of LaRochelle. Here the medieval Mauze castle is still standing in excellent condition. The name Mauze is believed to have been derived from the Arabian word "Mauz", meaning pantain tree and was probably adopted during the crisades to the Holy Land. In France, it was written Mauze and Moze, and passed on to England, Holland and Ireland. Scotland and America as Mauzey and Mauzy as well as Mauze and Moze. The correct pronunciation is MO-ze, the accent being on the first syllable, the last syllable spoken in a soft rapid manner. In various land grants, wills and other documents of colonial America the name was frequently recorded as Mozee, Mozie, Mozey. The Mauzy variation developed by the substitution of a y for an e and the Mauzy variant was adopted by the addition of a y to the Mauze, a common method of anglicizing certain French names ending with e. Moze was simply the other way of spelling and pronouncing Mauze. During the period between 1681 and 1724, at the time of the Repeal of the Edict of Nantes, no less than ten Mauze (Moze) families left France and appeared in the British Isles for naturalization as English citizens. Representatives of four of these fanilies remained in England, two went to Dublin, Ireland, one to Scotland, and 3 are believed to have come to America.
