7. The Men Who Made Texas Free, by Sam Houston Dixon, Texas Historical Publishing Company, 1924. The book indicates that “Dr. Gazley was accompanied to Texas by two brothers, William and George Gazley. Both of these brothers became prominent in the affairs of Texas as a Mexican state and Texas as a Republic.” George has indeed been found in several Texas records, but no evidence has been found that William was ever in Texas, let alone being a prominent figure.
