Ferdinand Phinizy I

the original immigrant & merchant

(1761 - 1818)

Information of interest to the descendants of  
the immigrant Ferdinand Phinizy

​

"The origin of the name Phinizy has never been documented and present knowledge must depend only on family tradition that Ferdinand Phinizy came from Parma, Italy, and served in America with the French troops of Rochambeau's Army during the American Revolution. The name as it has been spelled since its first appearance in 1788 is neither Italian nor French and must for some unknown reason have been invented."
