... 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.
