... among
the Mozarowskis, the "landowners in the County of Owrucz (Ovruch)",
namely Hryn (Grigoriy)and Onykiy (Dionisiy), the sons of Sitko (Sydko (Sidor)),
and Fedor, Andrei, Ivan, Sachno (Alexander) and Stepan, the sons of Hrydko
(Gridko (Grigoriy ?)). [A.B. - in the catalogue on the Niewmierzycki family in
Zhitomir's archive they have been recognized as the Niewmierzyckis - this is
one of the proofs for that the Niewmierzyckis do really descent from the common
ancestor with the Mozarowskis]. After death of Gavrila Semenovich Mozhayski,
his 2nd wife, namely Anna Andreevna (Soltan), together with her young sons,
namely, Andrei, Ivan, Stepan and Opanas (Afanasiy),in the year 1533 was granted
a care and help from the king Zygmunt I (in practice , however, she was
protected by the (Russian Orthodox) prince-bishop of Kiev, namely Josif
Soltan).
In
KONKLUZJA it has been clearly written that Grzegorz Martinovich Mozarowski was
a brat stryjeczny (1st cousin) to Semen Ivanovich Mozhayski, as well
as Martin was Semen’s uncle. The problem here is that neither Grzegorz, nor his
father Martin Mozarowski (Mozhayski) is known to historians and genealogists.
One should, however, recognize Martin as a true and historical person, since he
has been also mentioned in another archival documents.
Providing
that Teodor Tymofiey was not mistaken, i.e. that Martin was not Semen’s
brother, but his uncle, this Martin could be in fact Mikhail Mozhayski (also
known as Mikhail of Vereya and Beloozersk (1407-1486)), who had a son Vasily
(1449-1501), and who like Ivan Andreevich Mozhayski was also forced to escape
from Russia to the Gr. Duchy of Lithuania. Therefore, Vasily was living in
Lithuania approx. in the same time as Semen Ivanovich Mozhayski was. According
to genealogists, Vasily Mikhailovich (Vereyski) had only one child, a daughter
Sofia (1481-1549). They do not mention another his children, and especially the
sons like Sitko and Gridko.
Was this
Vasily, in fact, the above mentioned Grzegorz ? He could be, because Alexander
Jagiellonczyk (the grand prince of Lithuania and the future king of Poland) is
very well known to historians as that ruler who was forcing the Russian
Orthodoxes to become the Roman Catholics. It is believed that Semen’s father
(Ivan), who originally was a Russian Orthodox, was forced to baptize himself in
the Roman Catholic Church to become Alexander Gabriel (Gavrila). If this was
also the case of Vasily, he could get a new Christian name – Grzegorz.
