This also used to be a term used in redneckdom for a lady of uncertain circumstances. They may not have written it down, or if they did they spelled it Miz.

My parents and grandparents were from the deep South. They customarily pronounced the word Missus as Miz, just because that’s how they spoke. This was long before the invention of the term, Ms.
That said, I’ll defer to your superior redneck pedigree, as to your explanation :-)
