This extensive Gazlay family tree provides birth and death years (but not exact dates) for Gazlay descendants, and names (only) of spouses. No sources are cited, but the compiler is known to have collected information from numerous documents and Gazlay descendants. Names, dates, and relationships should be compared to other source citations.
13. Find a Grave (website). Evergreen Cemetery, Eden, Erie County, New York; Ellen M. / daughter of / Henry & Emily / GAZLAY / DIED / Nov. 2, 1850 / AE 1 yr 5 mos / 1 day (from headstone). It is believe that her death date is incorrect on the headstone, apparently interchanged with the death date on her twin sister Helen M. Gazlay’s headstone (see). Their constructed birth date is 15 or 16 May 1894, close to the 13 May 1849 date stated in another source, which appears to have the death dates correctly associated with each sister.
