Henry Mauzy, a French Protestant or Huguenot, who, to escape Catholic persecution, fled France shortly after the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes in 1685, and he descended from a noble ancestry, as is evidenced by the Coat-of-Arms of the family. He took pillow cases embroidered with the Coat-of-arms by his mother, a silver cup (family heirloom) and his bible when he escaped to England concealed in a hogshead in the hold of a vessel.
In Foote's History of the Huguenots, pages 577 and 578, in speaking of the Mauzy family, he says: p.20
'Henry Mauzy fled from France in 1685. Tradition has preserved too little concerning the condition and residence of his ancestors. It is known, however, that a Huguenot minister by the name of Mauzy left France in the same vessel that conveyed James Fountaine to England. It is also known that the parents of Henry Mauzy were accustomed to read the bible daily with one of the family on watch for the approach of anyone who might give information, bringing them under penalty of the severe laws; and, in case of danger, the bible was placed in its hiding place under the trap-door. Henry Mauzy, like the little Night Cap, left France in a hogshead labeled as merchandise, and thus escaped the search made for fugitives."
He was a zealous young Protestant minister, (presumably Presbyterian, as the chief contest at that time was between the Catholics and Presbyterians) he was specially liable to be severely persecuted, and hence he adopted an unusual and very secretive mode of making his escape.
p. 21 He enjoyed a happy and prosperous life, acquired a good fortune and was recognized for honesty and fair-dealing and was known for his kindness and favors to those less fortunate.
p. 22 In England, he married a daughter of Dr. Conyer's. From England, he came to this country, landing, it is supposed, at the port of Charleston, S.C., whence he came to Virginia and settled first in Stafford county, where he was a planter.
=====================
Hugenots were French protestants breaking away from the Catholic Church in France. Over a period of about 100 years they fought 7 religious wars. Catholics considered them heretics and wanted them converted back or destroyed.
There were cases of entire villages being wiped out and this included all people, animals, crops and buildings.
The Edict of Nantes was in 1685
In 1700 several French Hugenaots migrated from England to the Colony of Virginia, where the English Crown had promised them land grants in Lower Norfolk County. When they arrived, colonial authorities offered them instead land 20 miles above the falls of the James River, at abandoned Monacan Village known as Manakin Town, now Powhatan County, Some settled in present day Chesterfield County.

Henry Mauzy, a Huguenot minister of the Gospel, who fled from France to England, upon the revocation of the Edict of Nantes, 1685. Henry Mauzy is thought to have embarked from France on the same vessel that conveyed James Fontaine to England. (See Foote's History of the Huguenots, p. 577.) After stopping in England for a time, he came to America, and is supposed to have landed first at Charleston, South Carolina. He settled in Stafford CO., Va., where he was a planter. He married, while in England, a daughter of a Dr. Conyers. His second son, John, married Hester Foote, about 1720, and had issue - Henry, b 1721, John, b. 1723, William, b. 1725, Priscilla, b. 1727, Peter, b. 1730, Elizabeth, b. 1734, and Jemima, b. 1740. Of whom: Henry m. 1st, Ann Withers, of Stafford Co., and had - John, Peter, William, Henry, Elizabeth, Nancy, Pricilla, Hester, and another, name unknown; m. 2nd, July 23, 1765, Elizabeth Taylor, widow of James Morgan, and had - Susanna, Thomas, Richard, Margaret, Jemima, George, Michael, and Joseph, later a Colonel.
Col. Joseph Mauzy, youngest son of Henry, was born in Fauquier County, Virginia, August 14, 1779, and died near McGaheysville, Rockingham County, where he resided, December 20, 1863. From 1835 to 1849, he was the County Surveyor of Rockingham. He married, 1805, Christina Kisling, eldest daughter of Jacob, of near McGaheysville, and had - Henry, Julia, Elizabeth, Joseph, Layton, Albert Gallatin, b. may 9, 1815. d. January 5, 1851, Lucy Gilmer, Jacob Kisling, as above, b. June 3, 1820, d. March 5, 1906, Frances, Richard, of Staunton, and George Whitfield, (See Gen.

Jacob Kisling Mauzy, and wife Rebecca, had issue - Frances Catherine, b August 29, 1848, d. July 27, 1895, unmarried, and Joseph Huffman, first named, B. April 12, 1851.
Joseph Mauzy and Emma have generously maintained the Mauzy tradition of hospitality, which, being handed down through the old tavern days, has been interpreted to include for those in need, a goodly proportion of charity.
In operation of his farm, Mr. Mauzy is now ably aided by his son, to whom, since his arrival at maturity, the details of the management have largely been delegated.
With the family, following her husband's death (Thomas Calvin Brubaker, b. Dec 23, 1838, m. Jan 28, 1864, d. Mar 4, 1908), resided Mrs. Pheobe Brubaker, the sister of Mr. Mauzy's mother.

John Henry Mauzy
JOHN MAUZY was born December 11, 1675 in Larochelle, France, and died 1718 in Fauquier County, Virginia. She was born Unknown, and died Unknown. 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 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 Peter Hedgeman, Gentleman, Stafford Cty, VA, 21 September 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" ("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 has 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.
