Notes for Gerrard MOZINGO:

Per Gayle Licari: Mary BALL Washington was President George Washington's Mother. We notice that several MOZINGO's were named George Washington MOZINGO---This could be because of admiration for General George Washington or there could have been a closer tie with the BALL & WASHINGTON families of Westmoreland County, Virginia....
