Ward is buried in Old Burying Ground, Newburgh, Orange County, New York.12 Elizabeth is buried in Greenwood Cemetery, New Berlin, Chenango County, New York.14

The following sketch of Ward M. Gazlay, was furnished for this work [The History of the Town Newburgh, by Edward Manning Ruttenber] by the late Charles U. Cushman. Although evidently written in haste, we have concluded to publish it without correction, as it was, probably, the last article ever prepared by him for publication--his death occurring only a few days after it was written.13

“I find in the “Newburgh Telegraph” of April 21, 1836, the following notice:

“Died--In this village on Wednesday last, aged about 54 years, Ward M. Gazlay, Esq., for many years a magistrate of Newburgh, and editor and proprietor of the “Political Index,” from about the year 1806 to 1829, at which latter period the present proprietor of the “Newburgh Telegraph” purchased his establishment and changed the political character of the paper. To some peculiarities, and a few faults, Mr. Gazlay united many excellent qualities both of head and heart. His early career as a magistrate was marked by strict probity, and a sound, discriminating judgment, united to a fixedness of purpose and an impartiality in his decisions which saw no difference between the rich and the poor--the peasant and the king. A wide circle of friends deeply sympathize with the family.”

“To the above, little can be added from facts in my possession. Mr. G. was not an ambitious or an industrious editor. He wrote little, and that little usually limited to home or local matters, dispatched with great brevity. If a steam boiler burst at the dock and killed a dozen of his neighbors and friends, a few brief lines told the whole sad tale in his columns. He was never excited; never lost his unbounded self-respect, nor his self-possession; never was disconcerted. He presided in his court with Oriental dignity; and in the presence of delinquents his austerity was a terror which few had the courage to brave a second time. His decisions and sentences, upon all such, came like successive claps of thunder after frightful lightning, dealing summary and irrevocable justice. A glance from his sunken and lusterless eye often made evil-doers quail. Indeed, it was his boast that he ‘could awe the lion-hearted rogue with the power of his eye.’

“Mr. Gazlay’s personal appearance was not remarkably prepossessing. His stature was under medium size; shoulders and whole man broad and thin; carriage ungainly; gait shuffling, the heels of his untied shoes clapping the pavement audibly as he sidled along; his head hugged his right shoulder, and in his mouth was always seen the stump of a cigar, the smoke of which curled up into his enormous nose and half closed eyes, with the greatest possible apparent satisfaction to their complacent owner. All these unamiable and even forbidding aspects, however, belied the inner man. He had a glowing heart towards poverty, misery, and suffering, and would beg or die before doing a mean or dishonest act to win gold or favor.

“Of his birth-place I know nothing, but I think he hailed from Pennsylvania. That, and his age, family &c., were topics which he thought it puerile to dwell upon. He married Elizabeth, daughter of Jonathan and Bridget Carter, and left three sons.”13

Ward’s son Ward donated a copy of his father’s Political Index to Washington’s Headquarters in Newburgh, New York.17


Children of Ward Madison Gazlay and Elizabeth Carter:

 21i. James Henry Gazlay, born 29 May 1826;18 died 31 July 1827.18 James is buried in Old Burying Ground, Newburgh, Orange County, New York.18

+23iii. George Edward Gazlay, born ca. 1830 in Newburgh, Orange County, New York; died 13 September 1897 in Brooklyn, Kings County, New York. Married Jane Ann David.

4. Samuel D. Gazley2 (Karenda1), born 31 January 1785 in New York;19, 20, 21, 22 died 25 July 1857 in Canyonville, Douglas County, Oregon; his year of death is also given as 1858.19, 21, 22 Samuel married, 20 December 1818 in Cincinnatus, Cortland County, New York, Sarah ‘Sally’ Jones21 (born 2 August 1802, parents not determined;21, 23 Sally died 2 June 1852 in Painted Post, Steuben County, New York21, 24). Samuel is buried in James F. Gazley Family Cemetery, Gazley, Douglas County, Oregon.19 Sally is buried in West High Street Cemetery, Painted Post, Steuben County, New York.24

Samuel’s place of birth is listed variously as Ballstown Springs, NY (no such place has been identified, and may be intended as Ballston Spa, NY), Freetown, Suffolk County, NY, and Dutchess County, NY, this latter location seeming the most likely.


Children of Samuel D. Gazley and Sarah ‘Sally’ Jones:

 24i. Charles Gazley, born 12 March 1820 in Chenango Point, (later became Binghamton), Broome County, New York.21
+25ii. James Franklin Gazley, born 12 September 1822 in Willet, Cortland County, New York; died 1900 in Fairhaven, Whatcom County, Washington; his year of death is also given as 1897. Married Adeline E. Adams.
+26iii. Sarah Jane Gazley, born 14 March 1829 in New York; died 14 February 1877 in Oregon. Married Dr. William S. Rumsey.

5. Joshua Gazlay2 (Karenda1), born 31 December 1785;25 died 5 June 1842.25, 26 Joshua married, ca. 1811, Abigail ‘Abby’ Jones34, 35 (born 1794 in Shutesbury, Franklin County, Massachusetts, the daughter of James Jones and Sarah Leach;27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32 Abby died 22 February 1880 in Decatur, Van Buren County, Michigan26, 27, 33). Joshua is buried in Willet Cemetery, Willet, Cortland County, New York.25 Abby is buried in Anderson Cemetery, Decatur, Van Buren County, Michigan.26, 27, 33

Joshua is believed to be one of the 10 unidentified children of Jonathan Gazlay and Karinda Carter. According to a statement by Rev. Sayrs Gazlay in 1852, Jonathan had 14 children, of which four were still living at that time: Samuel, Thomas Jefferson, Patty, and Maria.20

Abigail is said to have borne nine children, of which four have been identified: Karenda, Abigail, David Ward, and Mary.26


Children of Joshua Gazlay and Abigail ‘Abby’ Jones:

+27i. Karinda Gazlay, born 10 November 1812 in Cortland County, New York; died 25 June 1905 in Buchanan, Berrien County, Michigan. Married Sterling A. Crippen.
+28ii. Abigail ‘Abbey’ Gazlay, born 10 March 1828 in New York; died 27 February 1920 in Baraboo, Sauk County, Wisconsin. Married Henry Rogers Ryan.
+29iii. David Ward Gazlay, born 29 October 1830 in New York; died 2 December 1899 in Buchanan, Berrien County, Michigan. Married Mary Baker.
 30iv. Mary Gazlay, born ca. 1833 in New York.26, 28

8. _____ Gazlay2 (Karenda1). Mr. Gazlay married Elizabeth _____ (born ca. 1801 in Orange County, New York, parents not determined36, 37).

This person is believed to be a son of Jonathan Gazley, based on circumstantial evidence. Jonathan was believed to have had 14 children, of which four were living in 1852.20

Elizabeth is identified as this Gazlay’s wife based on Elizabeth appearing in the 1855 New York Census with her son Jonathan, possibly named for his grandfather Jonathan Gazlay (see).


Child of _____ Gazlay and Elizabeth _____:

 31i. Jonathan Gazlay, born ca. 1824 in Orange County, New York.36, 37

9. George Gazley2 (Karenda1), born ____, the son of Jonathan Gazlay and Karenda Carter;2 died 20 December 1843 in Houston, Harris County, Texas.38 George married Mary McGee43 (born ca. 1822 in New York, parents not determined;39, 40, 41 Mary died 25 February 1891 in San Antonio, Bexar County, Texas42).

George is believed to be a son of Jonathan Gazley, based on circumstantial evidence. He is identified as an early settler of Texas along with his brother Thomas, who is a known child of Jonathan (the same source also names a brother William but this brother was not known to have settled in Texas).2

George was a prominent merchant in Houston, Texas, trading with J. M. Robinson as Gazley & Robinson. Their company’s advertisements frequently appeared in Houston newspapers between 1839 and 1843.44

He was among the founding members of the Houston Chamber of Commerce, the second oldest Chamber in the country behind that of Boston. He is listed as George Gazely among those who attended the first meeting on 4 April 1840. Membership at the time was mainly restricted to licensed wholesale merchants of Houston and Harris County.45

George was an Alderman in Houston, and was appointed with other Alderman to form the Board of Health.46

He apparently owed $2.65 in property taxes for the year 1842 on his Houston properties, Block 47 lots 6, 7, & 12, valued at $530.47

Mary’s brief death notice is shown below.42

Death of Mrs. Caldwell

News was received her this evening from San Antonio of the death of Mrs. Mary Caldwell, which occurred there this morning. She formerly lived in this city where she had a large number of friends. She was the mother of Mr. George Gazley, who was a Houston boy for many years and also has many friends here.


Children of George Gazley and Mary McGee:

+32i. George Washington Gazley, born 10 December 1843 in Houston, Harris County, Texas; died 20 January 1922 in Galveston, Galveston County, Texas. Married Mary ‘Maie’ Arnold.
 33ii. John F. Gazley, born ca. 1844 in Houston, Harris County, Texas;39, 41, 48, 49, 50 died 19 September 1911 in San Antonio, Bexar County, Texas.48, 49 John is buried in City Cemetery #3, San Antonio, Bexar County, Texas.48, 49

10. Abraham Gazlay2 (Karenda1), born ca. 1794;51 died 1 October 1839 in Houston, Harris County, Texas.51 Abraham married, 24 February 1828 in New Jersey, Mary McCully53 (born ca. 1797, parents not determined; Mary died 10 March 1831 in Trenton, Mercer County, New Jersey52). Mary is buried in First Baptist Church Cemetery, Trenton, Mercer County, New Jersey.52

Although Abraham is believed to be a son of Jonathan Gazley, only indirect evidence has been found to support this relationship: the notice of Curator’s Sale for disposal of his property after his death names Thomas J. Gazley and Geo[rge] Gazley, who are believed to be Abraham’s brothers. Thomas is known to be a son of Jonathan.54

He is believed to be the Abraham Gazlay who married Mary McCully in New Jersey in 1828.53

It is supposed that Abraham and Mary had a son Joseph, who was left motherless at age two. Abraham may have raised Joseph until 1837 when Abraham apparently left for Texas, according to the following public notice:55

“If Joseph Gazlay, who lived in New York City about the year 1837, or any descendant of Abraham Gazlay, who left New York City for Texas some time about the year 1837, will call on or address, by letter, J. Anderson, No. 9 Nassau street, New York, they will hear of property in which they are interested.”

Abraham was a printer. He owned a town lot in Houston and a certificate for his head right of land, 1,280 acres, at the time of his death.51, 54

The 1840 tax rolls for Houston list Abraham (subsequent to his death), indicating George as the administrator of Abraham’s estate.56


Child of Abraham Gazlay and Mary McCully:

 34i. Joseph M. Gazlay, born 23 June 1829 in Trenton, Mercer County, New Jersey;57, 58, 59 died 6 October 1854 in Trenton, Mercer County, New Jersey.57, 58 Joseph is buried in Mercer Cemetery, Trenton, Mercer County, New Jersey.57

11. Dr. Thomas Jefferson Gazley2 (Karenda1), born 13 August 1798 in New York;20, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64 died 31 October 1853 in Smithville, Bastrop County, Texas.64 Thomas married, 21 March 1819 in Hamilton County, Ohio, Elizabeth Boyce70 (born ca. 1799 in Delaware, parents not determined;62, 65, 66, 67 Elizabeth died ca. July 1886 in Waco, McLennan County, Texas68, 69). Thomas is buried in Texas State Cemetery, Austin, Travis County, Texas.64

See separate biography: Thomas Jefferson Gazley

Various biographical sketches recount Dr. Thomas Jefferson Gazley’s well documented role as an early settler of the Texas territory and signer of the Texas Declaration of Independence, as well as his profession as a physician and his activity as a freemason.64

One particular source, the website The Gazley Bridge, adds interesting details about Dr. Gazley and his life in Texas and elsewhere.71

The following is a collection of other lesser known details of this American pioneer.

Some sources suggest that Dr. Gazley was born in New York State in 1801 (including his headstone in the Texas State Cemetery in Austin), while other sources indicate it was as early as 1798, this earlier date being more likely correct. Smithville, Texas, recognizes Dr. Thomas Jefferson Gazley as their founder and first settler, and considers his birthday as 13 August 1798, although it is unclear what their basis is for that date. Perhaps the strongest support for his birth in 1798 is his letter of application dated 16 January 1815, Newburg, New York, to attend the Military Academy at West Point. A letter of recommendation bearing the same date and place, and six signatures, recommends “Thomas J. Gazlay from Cortland County of this state, and now of this village, of the age of sixteen, as a young man of promising abilities, good moral character, and respectable connexions…”63, 72

Alas, he apparently was not accepted to West Point, as his name does not appear in any list of attendees or graduates.

It is interesting to note that these two letters, one of which Thomas likely wrote and signed in his own hand, and the Ohio record of his marriage in 1819 to Elizabeth Boyce, all spell his last name as Gazlay, the most prominent spelling among his ancestors to that time. Virtually all subsequent records spell his last name as Gazley, which is the spelling that all of his descendants used.

Census records indicate that Dr. Gazley lived in St. Clair and Clinton Counties, Illinois, in the early and mid-1820s, during the early years of his medical profession. He is almost certainly the Dr. T. J. Gazley of Lebanon, St. Clair County, Illinois, who invented an “Electerizing Machine,” costing $7, which was supposed to be of use in reviving persons apparently dead from drowning. Although no other details have been found regarding the design of his machine, it was most likely based on the voltaic pile (i.e., storage battery), discovered in 1800, and in common use among doctors up to the early 1830s for treating a wide variety of ailments, albeit of questionable efficacy.73

Dr. Gazley’s arrival in Texas closely followed the initial settlement of the territory. Stephen F. Austin, widely considered the “Father of Texas,” was perhaps the most famous Texas empresario (i.e, a person who was granted the right by the Mexican government to establish settlements on Mexican land). Austin established five colonies in Texas, the first known as the “Old Three Hundred,” referring to 297 grantees who purchased 307 parcels of land during 1824-25 in what is now Brazoria County, Texas. His third colony, called the “Little Colony,” was established starting in the summer of 1827, and granted Austin authority for a settlement of 100 families around Bastrop County.74

An article in the Bastrop Advertiser in the 1920s included a list of 70 of the 100 families that were part of Austin’s Little Colony. Among the entries is: “Thomas J. Gazeley [sic], [date arrived] 1828 [from] Ohio, [occupation] physician, [notes] Eliza and two sons.” Other sources say he arrived in 1827 and from Louisiana. He and his family may have arrived separately, which could account for the two different locations.75

It is said that Dr. Gazley brought the first slaves into the area. The 1860 Slave Census for Texas shows that Dr. Gazley’s widow, Eliza Gazley, still owned 9 slaves with ages ranging from 2 to 39.76, 77

Dr. Gazley was granted a provisional license to practice as a physician on April 13, 1830, by the Ayuntamiento of Austin (i.e., the Mexican government town council in Austin). He “presented two certificates from scientific bodies (corporaciones scientificos) in the States of the North accrediting his knowledge and skill in the practice of medicine.” On July 5, 1830, it was ordered that he be admitted to the “practice of Medicine, Surgery and Midwifery within this jurisdiction.”78

Settlers in these Texas colonies generally were granted a league of land, a Texas-Spanish land measure equaling 4,428.4 acres. Dr. Gazley was granted one league of land on 1 March 1831, listed in Texas land title abstracts as Patent# 194 in Bastrop County. It is described as Block 11, Section 11, Abstract 33, and is sometimes referred to as the Gazley Survey.79, 80

A surviving receipt for part payment of this land reads as follows:

“Received of Gail Borden Jr. for Collector of Public Dues for the Department of Brazos, four dollars twenty cents, in part payment to the Government for the second instalments [sic] on one league of land granted me on the 1st day of March 1831 said payment being endorsed on a treasury order, dated 12th Sept 1836 No 604 lettered D drawn in favor of myself for Seventy Six dollars — cents. Sept 14th 1836. Thos. J. Gazley”81

The village of Old Smithville, Bastrop County, Texas, was established on 640 acres of land that was originally granted to Dr. Gazley and also to a man named Lewis Lomas. As one of the early settlers, Dr. Gazley established and operated a store, the first in the area, which formed the center of Smithville’s business life.77, 82

Dr. Gazley was a surgeon in Captain Michael R. Goheen’s company in the Battle of Gonzales, 2 Oct 1835. The battle was later known as “Come and Take It” and is considered the start of the Texas Revolution. On the day before, Dr. Gazley was one of seven physicians in the army who formed themselves into a medical board. Rev. Dr. William P. Smith was elected president, and Dr. Thomas J. Gazeley [sic] was elected Secretary.83, 84

Thomas J. Gazley was one of the three representatives from the Town of Mina (located within Austin’s Little Colony, and later renamed Bastrop) when he signed the Texas Declaration of Independence, which was adopted on 2 March 1836 and formally signed the following day. It was on March 3rd that Dr. Gazlay made a motion to form a committee to create a flag for the newly formed Republic of Texas. Dr. Gazley was appointed to the committee, along with William B. Scates, Lorenzo D. Zavala, Sterling C. Robinson, Thomas Barnett, and President Richard Ellis. The flag designed by Lorenzo D. Zavala was accepted by the committee on March 11th, although no description exists for the original Zavala flag. The next day, William Scates proposed the addition of several details to the flag, with only scant details recorded, and this amended flag was also accepted by the committee. However, historians believe that neither the original Zavala flag nor the Scates amended flag were ever actually made. So instead of Dr. Gazley playing a central role in the creation of the first flag of the Republic of Texas, his name is simply associated with an historical near-miss.85

Dr. Gazley was one of nine signers of the Texas Declaration of Independence who also fought in the Battle of San Jacinto on 21 April 1836, the decisive battle of the Texas Revolution. He was a private in Company C, First Regiment of Texas Volunteers.86

Dr. Gazley formed a law partnership in Harrisburg (later renamed Houston) with John Birdsall, who had arrived in Texas around 1837 from New York. A notice announcing the partnership reads:87

“Law Notice. Thomas J. Gazley and John Birdsall have formed a co-partnership in the practice of Law in this city. They propose to connect with their professional business a Land Agency, for the purchase, location, and sale of land, and the investigation of titles, for persons in the United States and elsewhere. Houston, May 2nd, 1837.”

In September of the same year, Dr. Gazley was elected to the second the Representative of Texas, representing Harrisburg (later renamed Houston).86

Dr. Gazley, his wife, and their four children, moved back to Bastrop County, probably after his term as Representative from Harrisburg. They were still living in Bastrop County at the time of the 1850 census.62

In 1852, the site of the Bastrop County Courthouse in Bastrop, Texas, block 7 east of Main Street, was purchased for $700 from Thomas J. Gazley. A wooden courthouse was built by Mr. Fitzgerald on the present site.88

Dr. Gazley was truly one of the early Texas pioneers. He fought in the initial and final battles of the Texas Revolution, lived to see Texas achieve statehood on 29 Dec 1845 and to see Texas have her borders set to their present-day boundaries by the Compromise of 1850. He died on 31 October 1853 and was buried initially in the Gazley Cemetery in Smithville. In 1936-37 his body was exhumed and re-interred in the Texas State Cemetery, Austin.64

Several landmarks in and around Smithville, Texas, are vestiges of Dr. Gazley’s prominence among the first settlers in the area. These include Gazley Creek, Gazley Bridge (on 4th Avenue, crossing Gazley Creek), Gazley Street (Rt. 95 in Smithville), and Gazley Cemetery (at the end of North Avenue).

A drawing of a bearded Dr. Thomas Jefferson Gazley is displayed in the Star of the Republic Museum, Washington-on-the-Brazos, Texas, and at the museum’s website. The same likeness of Dr. Gazley, in mirror image, is also included in the museum’s centerpiece mural, “Reading of the Texas Declaration of Independence,” painted by Charles and Fanny Normann in 1936. An inquiry to the museum in the late 1980s confirmed that this drawing of Dr. Gazley was created from a description of him based only on family tradition; no actual images of Dr. Gazley exist.

Thomas Jefferson Gazley, Jr., born October 1825 in Illinois;62, 65, 66, 67, 89 died 6 November 1901.90 An article in The Galveston News tells of an incident in 1866 that, while handling a rail, Thomas Gazley, of Bastrop County, was bitten on the fingers by a moccasin snake. He sucked so much of the poison out that his hand did not swell, although he suffered severely for over a day.91 Thomas lived in Waco, Texas, with his brother Alfred in the mid-1890s.92 Thomas is buried in Oakwood Cemetery, Waco, McLennan County, Texas.90

Ward Gazlay3 (William,2 Karenda1), born 24 December 1814 in Onondaga Hollow, Onondaga County, New York;20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25 baptized 12 December 1816 in Syracuse, Onondaga County, New York;4 died 7 April 1886 in Flint, Genesee County, Michigan.20, 26 Ward married, 18 August 1840 in New York, Louisa B.

Ward and Louisa are buried in Glenwood Cemetery, Flint, Genesee County, Michigan.28, 29

The following biographical sketch of Ward Gazlay is taken from a biographical portrait of his son, Harlan Page Gazlay, who is referred to as “our subject.”25

[Ward Gazlay] was born in Onondaga Hollow, Onondaga County, N. Y., January 24, 1813. [the correct date is believed to be 24 December 1814] His wife, the mother of our subject, was known in her maidenhood as Miss Louisa B. Hood, and was also a native of New York, having been born September 21, 1851, at Knowlesville. [the correct date is believed to be September 28, 1821]. The parents were married August 18, 1840.

Ward Gazlay was educated in his native county and for a time before coming West acted as captain of a canal-boat. In 1837, the date of his coming to Michigan, he purchased property on the corner of First and Saginaw Streets, south, in Flint and also located one hundred sixty acres in Gaines Township, Genesee County and made a purchase in Flint Township, besides owning land in Mt. Morris Township. After locating his property he returned to New York and was married, after which he brought his bride to the Wolverine State.

Our subject’s father owned the first harness shop in Genesee County, his first location being on Saginaw street, south, occupying the same building with Benjamin Cochran. He then purchased the old Presbyterian Church which he moved to the location of his old shop and by his ingenuity and energy remodeled it and besides having a convenient harness shop rented a portion to three tenants. This building did good service for twenty-six years, until the big fire in that place. The business success which he afterward attained is illustrated in the fact that immediately after the fire he went to Detroit and restocked his shop and the next day was ready for business. Soon after he made arrangements to erect a brick block which still bears his name. In dimensions it is 44x80 feet and three stories in height. Mr. Gazlay, Sr., occupied the second story as his place of business until his death, April 7, 1886, having been engaged in successful business here for half a century. He did not meddle in public affairs, but gave his attention to his business and at the time of his death owned considerable property. In religious matters he was a member of the Presbyterian Church, holding the office of Trustee in that body. At the time of his death he left a family of six children—Elizabeth, Mrs. Brooks; Sarah, Mrs. Withey; Harlan Page, our subject; Helen C.; Alice J., Mrs. Clark, and Otis F. The mother of our subject died December 29, 1882.

OBITUARY.

Lydia D. Gazlay.

Yesterday afternoon Mrs. Lydia D. Gazlay died in her 90th year at her home, No. 136 Bird Avenue. Her recollection went back to the days when horse cars ran from Black Rock to Buffalo along the towpath and when the first New York Central trains ran along Niagara street to the Falls from the Black Rock station, then at Auburn avenue and Niagara street.

Mrs. Gazlay was born in Erie county, Pa., on August 20, 1823, and came in 1844 to Black Rock where she lived on Niagara street near Bird avenue. In 1885 she united with the Riverside Methodist Episcopal church, then on Dearborn street, and at the time of her death was its oldest member. In Civil War times she was an active worker in the Christian and sanitary commissions, when each church formed committees to provide boxes of food, clothing and other comforts for soldiers. In the years following the war, when union fairs were given by Methodist Episcopal churches to raise funds for aiding weaker congregations, Mrs. Gazlay represented Riverside. The last time she engages in public service was in October, 1871, when she worked vigorously for an entertainment given by the Y.M.C.A. for the sufferers in the Chicago fire. Her interest in religious activities is shared by other members of her family. One nephew, the Reverend William O. Stunts, Ph.D., sailing the last day of June for missionary work in Peru, and another nephew, Bishop Homer C. Stunts, being Methodist Episcopal bishop of South America.

Mrs. Gazlay was the widow of Dickinson Gazlay and the mother of Mrs. Ellen G. Ryerson and the late Richard D. Gazlay and the grandmother of Mrs. William Hipkiss, Elsie Ryerson Gazlay, Mrs. May G. Harris and Mrs. John J. Stickles. The funeral will be held from her home on Wednesday afternoon.

A Good Teacher. -- The directors of the Canyonville district have secured the services of Hon. James F. Gazley Sr. to teach the sprint term of school.

38. Augustus Frank ‘Alfred’ Gazley3 (Thomas,2 Karenda1), born 15 October 1842 in Bastrop County, Texas;208, 232, 233, 234, 235, 236, 237, 238 died 3 December 1911 in Austin, Travis County, Texas.232, 239 Alfred married, 8 May 1881 in McLennan County, Texas, Nannie E. Donovan240, 241 (born ____, parents not determined; Nannie died before 1900237). Alfred is buried in Texas State Cemetery, Austin, Travis County, Texas.232, 239

Alfred served as a private on the Confederate side in the Civil War, a member of the 33rd Regiment, Texas Cavalry (Duff’s Partisan Rangers).242

Alfred was embroiled in several legal battles, with mixed results. In February, 1881, he had a “personal difficulty” with a man from Hill County, and the following September he determined to carry a pistol, thinking his life was in danger. He faced a trial in December of that year for carrying the weapon, but a jury was “satisfied with the explanation and acquitted him.”243

The weapons case pales in comparison to his conviction for the rape of nine year old Minnie Daura in 1884, resulting in a sentence of 99 years. The Daura and Gazley families were on friendly terms, the children of each household apparently visiting and playing with each other very often. [Note: no child or children of Alfred and Nannie have been identified in any records thus far.] Gazley claimed the case was a “put-up job on him” but his defense had no effect on the result. The case was covered in several newspaper articles not cited here. However, the following article from The Gazette, Fort Worth, Texas, provides an excellent summary of the ultimate outcome of the case:244

WACO -- The End of a Much-Tried Case-A Newspaper Man in a Peck of Trouble.

Special to the Gazette.

WACO, Tex., Dec. 7.--Another of the numerous cases involving the question of a legal grand jury has just been decided here. In 1884 A. F. Gazley was indicted for the rape of Minnie Dama [sic], a little Italian girl not quite ten years old. He was convicted, and sentenced to a long term in the penitentiary. The court of appeals reversed and remanded the case, and in December of last year another grand jury reindicted Gazley. The records of the court show that the grand jury that found the first indictment was composed of fourteen men, an illegal number; further, that between the commission of the crime and the second indictment more than twelve months had elapsed, which was also illegal. Counsel for defense urged these two points, and on the technicalities the case was thrown out of court and Gazley discharged, without any other defense.

Alfred’s legal battles did not end there. In order to pay the $500 fee for his legal defense in the rape case, Alfred and his wife deeded some of their property to their lawyers, but Alfred later claimed that the transaction was a mortgage, not a deed. The case was ultimately decided in the Supreme Court of Texas, 6 June 1891, affirming that the instrument was in fact a deed, and therefore title and ownership of the property in question belonged to the lawyers. It is interesting to note that the deed provided for Alfred’s mother “old lady Gazley,” to be permitted to live in the small house situated on the property as long as she lived. She died before the institution of the law suit.245

Nannie apparently died before 1900 as her husband Alfred is listed as a widow in the 1900 census.237

Emma and Lewis are buried in Evergreen Cemetery, Alpena, Alpena County, Michigan.14, 19

An interesting biographical sketch of Lewis appears in the Biographical History of Northern Michigan:27

LEWIS T. KLINE.

One of the important industries of Alpena, Michigan, is that conducted by the subject of this sketch, who is engaged in the manufacture of Kline’s excelsior and wood turning machinery, the former of which is in use in all the wood-producing counties of the state and indeed the country. Mr. Kline is a native of the Wolverine state, having been born at Flint, Michigan, on January 4, 1857, and is the son of Joseph Kline, who came to Flint in 1837, at the age of fourteen years. The subject’s great-grandfather came to America from Frankfort-on-the-Rhine, Germany, while his son, the subject’s grandfather, was one of the pioneer settlers of Michigan. The subject himself saw the first train run over the Pere Marquette Railroad. The subject received a fair education in the public schools and upon attaining his majority started out on his own account. In 1879 he came to Alpena and was first employed by C. B. Warren and later engineer for the Minor Lumber Company. In 1883 he obtained a patent for a log roller and in 1887 a patent for a log roller and log deck apparatus, which have come into extensive use in the United States and Canada and other parts of the world. He later obtained patents on a steam feed valve, an automatic lathe and his excelsior machinery, all of them being marvels of ingenuity and greatly simplifying and cheapening the cost of production. The factory for the manufacture of these articles was at first a modest affair, but has rapidly grown in response to the demand for the product, until it ranks with the leading enterprises of this city. Mr. Kline does not allow his attention to be diverted from his business interests and is rapidly acquiring a reputation throughout the trade for the value of his productions and high quality of their manufacture.

Mr. Kline has been twice married. His first wife was Miss Gazlay, of Flint, Michigan, by which union were born two sons, Arthur L., of Detroit, and Herman J., who graduated from the Alpena high school and is now taking a course in Mechanical engineering at the State University, at Ann Arbor. Mr. Kline’s second union was with Miss Elizabeth Mckinnon, of Alpena, and to them have been born four children, DeEtte, Joseph and George, twins, and Flora. Mr. Kline is a gentleman who in all circumstances in which he has been placed has borne himself with that spirit which brings to a man the respect and esteem of the entire community. He has in all respects been the architect of his own fortunes and has builded wisely and well.

HARLAN PAGE GAZLAY is a harnessmaker located at No. 1100 South Saginaw street, Flint. He is a native of this place, his father Ward Gazlay, having come here in 1837.

Harlan P. Gazlay, our subject, was born in Flint, August 25, 1850. [the correct date is believed to be August 20, 1850.] He received a common-school education in his native place and afterward learned the trade of harness-making from his father, and March 1, 1882, established in business for himself. He later purchased the property at the corner of Saginaw and Sixth Streets, South, where he opened his shop and had his residence located in the same block. They have continued in this location ever since. Our subject served for eleven years as a member of the Hook and Ladder company during the volunteer service.

He of whom we write was married April 14, 1877, to Miss Margaretta Houghtaling, of Lapeer County, and to them have been born one son—J. Harlan. Otis F. Gazlay, brother of our subject, was born December 29, 1864, and after receiving a fair education, also learned the trade of a harness-maker under the tutelage of his father, continuing in his employ until the death of Mr. Gazlay. He has resided most of the time with our subject. He has an interest in the estate left by his father. Our subject is one of the well-known and successful business men in Flint.

GAZLAY BROTHERS, Printers, Nos. 157 and 159 William Street.--This business was established fifteen years ago at No. 106 Fulton Street, but the trade of the house increased so rapidly that these premises soon proved totally inadequate, and they removed to their present eligible location. Here they occupy spacious and commodious premises, 45 x 100 feet, the equipment of which cannot be surpassed for convenience and completeness by that of any similar establishment in the city. It comprises three large cylinder presses, and seven job presses of the most improved description, besides hundreds of fonts of the newest and handsomest faces of book and type, and everything required in conducting a first class printing establishment. Constant employment is given to thirty three skilled workmen, and every description of book, job, and mercantile printing is done, from the smallest card up to a newspaper. The individual members of the firm, Messrs. John C. and George E. Gazlay, are thoroughly practical printers of many years’ experience, and have always been noted for the artistic taste they display in all work entrusted to them.

Margaret was apparently raised and probably adopted by Edward F. Walker and his wife Charity E. Walker Waddington (nee Brush).

It is not clear why Edward Walker and his wife were chosen to raise Margaret.
