Marriage of Priscilla Waugh and Peter Mauzy
Priscilla Waugh (1741-1806) married a Peter Mauzy (d 1799) on 15 May 1763 at age 21. This Peter Mauzy has been reported by some to be the son of Peter Mauzy (1713-c 1751)and Elizabeth Sumner, and born on May 19, 1738.
However, it is inconceivable that Priscilla married this Peter Mauzy. The birth date of Peter born to Peter and Elizabeth was not 1738, but 1748, according to my viewing of the ORIGINAL Overwharton Parish records. This would have put this Peter at age 14 or 15 when Priscilla, at age 21, was married. So without further evidence to the contrary, it would seem inconceivable that this marriage took place.
However, there was another Peter Mauzy that seems likely to have been Priscilla's husband. Peter Mauzy, son of John Mauzy (abt 1696-1784) and Hester Conyers (1698/9-aft 1750). This Peter was reported by Armand Mauzy to be born in 1730, making him about 33 years old at the time of Priscilla's marriage in 1763. This seems a more likely scenario than the other Peter born in 1748.
Where Armand got the birthdate of 1730 is not known or source reported. However, the source was likely from Richard Mauzy's book "Genealogical Record of the Descendants of Henry Mauzy".
