Biography

Seems to be the David Mazy whose baptism was recorded in 1809 in Llanblethian, Glamorgan, Wales with parents Jonathan and Mary^[1] Cowbridge and Ystradowen are listed as David's birthplaces and all three villages are within a few miles of each other in the same valley, and this seems to be the only Mazey family in the Cowbridge area.
