First Generation
1. John Gazlay,1 born 24 April 1817 in New York, the son of Daniel Gazlay and Susannah Leavenworth;1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 died 18 May 1909.1, 9 John married, first, 2 March 1854 in Cook County, Illinois (the date listed in Gazlay History is 1 March 1854), Tryphena L. Goodhue8, 11 (born ca. November 1826 in New York, parents not determined;3, 4, 10 Tryphena died 27 March 187510).

Wisconsin

A sad accident occurred at Edgerton a few days since. A little girl of Mrs. John Gazly was going out the door with her little baby brother in her arms; she stumbled and fell against a boiler of hot water, which had just been removed from the fire, tipping it over and spilling the water scalding the baby so that it died the night following. The girl was scalded some, but nothing serious. Another warning to parents not to set vessels of hot liquids where their children will run into them.


Child of John Gazlay and Tryphena L. Goodhue:

 2i. Charles H. Gazlay, born ca. 1856 in Illinois;3 died before 1870; he does not appear in any records after the 1860 Census, so his death after that is presumed.
