1. Washington Death Certificates, 1907-1960 (transcriptions or certificates). Gazley, James F.; died 18 Feb 1922, Bellingham, Whatcom County, Washington, age 74 years, 10 months, 1 day [the number of years is believed to be incorrect; other records indicate his birth year was 1849, making his age at death about two months short of 73 years]. The record gives the names of his wife and parents.
2. U.S. Federal Census, 1850, Pennsylvania, Bradford County, Smithfield Twp., family of Sophia Adams (48, Conn.); Adaline Adams (18, PA); Sophronia Adams (16, PA); Lucius Adams (21, PA, farmer); Emma Adams (13, PA); Amelia Adams (12, PA); Helen Adams (7, PA); Aurelius Adams (5, PA); James G. Adams (1, PA). [Adaline is believed to be the wife of James F. Gazley, and James G. Adams is believed to be their son James F. Gazley Jr. James and Adaline married in 1848, so Adaline’s listing as Adams may be an enumerator’s error. The elder James was in California in 1850.]
