Spelling of the Last Name

Mark Mizzell was the son of William Mizell who was born January 6, 1757. As Mark grew up, his name was written with two z’s, and that spelling stuck with his descendants.

The Mizzell spelling is one variation of the last name, with many descendants today using that version. Mark is the first ancestor that we know to have this variation, and perhaps there are others.
