1. What/where is the direct link?
2. You need to be more accurate; it's not
'jewishhistory.com says', but J Schwarz -- from his book
that was published in 1850! page 230:

"GAD גד
The towns of this tribe were as follows:
Jazer יעצר . Eusebius says that this place is 15
mill north from Hesban: it existed even still at
the time of Astori; but at present there
are ruins, called Seir, on the spot indicated,
which leaves no doubt the Seir is derived from Jazer..."
