Commissioner of Pensions, Washington, D.C.
Dear Sir:
Is there any record in the Pension Department of the names of the children of William Mauzy, the Revolutionary soldier? If there is; I shall be glad to get it, please.
William Mauzy of Virginia was born in 1735 and married Ursula Arnold in 1772. They went to Kentucky in 1792 and settled in Bourbon county. In 1829 they moved to Rush county Ind., where he died in 1837.
My ancestor, Edwin Porter, married Polly Mauzy in 1797. I am trying to learn who Polly Mauzy's father and mother were. I think she was the daughter of the above named William Mauzy, but I want proof of it.
I shall appreciate any help you will give me to obtain the desired information. I wish it to complete a D.A.R. line.
Very truly yours,
(Miss) Annie Lagram. Bowling Green, Missouri.
