Sources
- Email from Mary Fetter to Lee Gazlay, various dates in April and June 2013. The emails include as attachments 18 pages of hand-written family history notes containing the names, birth, marriage and death dates and places, primarily centered around the ancestors and descendants of Carl Adolph Hildebrand (1886-1965) and his wife Maria Elizabeth Gazlay (1883-1973). The pages include surnames Gazlay, Hildebrand, Rhoades, Morgan, Zehner, and Fetter, among many other surnames. The information in these pages matches the same information found in other (primarily public) records, so is considered highly reliable.
- Ohio Marriages, 1800-1958, available at familysearch.org. Frank H. Peirce and Phoebe May Gazlay, married 22 Jul 1903 at Bellevue, Huron County, Ohio. The record includes their ages and birth places, and the names of their parents. Phoebe’s mother’s name is listed as Henrietta Carter; her maiden surname was Morgan so the basis for the name Carter is not known.
