Sources
- Gazlay History, compiled by Margaret Howe in 1955-1956 (copy available at Gazlay Family History - Sources). Margaret Howe indicated that the document is “based on material my mother Inez L. Gazlay collected, but never lived to edit. Her material has just been copied and explains the more extensive material on generation V and VI. Other information has been added which I found from numerous sources.” Unpublished, 29 pages. Several differences in dates have been found between this document and others, especially A Genealogy of the Leavenworth Family; the latter is considered the more accurate source.
- A Genealogy of the Leavenworth Family in the United States, by Elias Warner Leavenworth, L.L.D. Syracuse, New York, S. G. Hitchcock and Company, 1873. Digitized copy available at Google Books. Pages 88, 89, and 131, entries for Amos Leavenworth, his wife Esther Warner, and their children, especially Susanna who married Daniel Gazly (Gazlay).
