- The Early History of Chenango County, from The History of Chenango County, by James H. Smith, 1880. Available at chenangony.net (website). Under the history of Norwich is the family of John Randall, who arrived in Norwich in 1800 from Stonington, Connecticut, and was among the first settlers of Norwich. The book provides biographical and personal details of John, his wife, and 13 children, including his eighth child, Martha (Patty) Randall, who married James W. Gazley.
- Gazlay History, written by Spencer G. Kuhn, a grandchild of Theodore Gazlay; undated. This is a typewritten re-compilation of the earlier Genealogy of the Gazlay Family, compiled by Theodore Gazlay in 1890, including the 1852 statement of the family history by Reverend Sayers Gazlay, an elder brother of Theodore. This document re-formats the information in the 1890 work. For example, facts originally shown in list form, such as birth and death dates, are incorporated in the narrative of this later work. Two post-1890 sections are unique to this document: one with additional details about Theodore Gazlay’s family, with dates as late as 1951; and another on the Donaldson family, featuring Jean Gazlay Donaldson and her six marriages, with several dates in 1965.
