 Ms 159 pp.168-9 Genealogy Office (Ireland)

 

 

 

Ms 159 is a document from the Genealogy Office and is stored in the National Library Ireland. This is an interpretation of the text and a bad translation of the Latin. It would appear to be a rough copy of the following:

 

489 Tracy Pedigree. Genealogia Gualteri Tracy, armigeri, et progenies ejus. A.D. 1709. A Roll On Vellum, upwards of six feet in length, beautifully written, and with eleven coats of arms emblazoned in colours. At foot is the attestation of William Hawkins, Ulster King-at-arms, dat. 21 July, 1709.

WITH THE SEAL OF HIS OFFICE ATTACHED, 31. 3s.

The pedigree commences with Tadg ar Comrarie, alias Timotheus Magnanimus. “Hic Timotheus diversis progenibus ducitur a Carberio sexto filio Neili Magni Monarchae Hiberniae. Per diversa bella et rerum publicarum commutationes in hac regione, plurimarum antiquarum familiarum testimonia multum perpessa sunt, et quamvis operose non nullae illorum Parentelae partim recuperatae fuerunt, tamen non ita speciatim, ut in qua aetate plurimi illorum vixere expediat, sed justissimis aestimationibus hic Timotheus Magnanimus infra annos Domini nostri 1000 et 1100 degit.”

The Irishman Walter Tracy his Arms

and his lineage

 

Through various wars, and the nature of changing possessions in this region,

many old families tell of their many labours, and with great effort

illuminate the restored parentage, looking in that age of many labours,

but rightly valuating this Timothy the Magnanimous from

the year of God our Jesus Christ 1000 & 1100 ago

(1) It is apparent that this is the genealogy of a family of the Sil Anmchadha, as the majority of the surnames of the marrying families are also of this area. One of the genealogies state that the Sil Anmchadha are descended from Maine, son of Niall of the Nine Hostages. Another of Niall’s sons was Cairpre.

 

(2) Sir John Tracy of Toddingham in the county of Gloucester England, was created The Viscount and Baron Tracy of Rathcoole and Baronet of the county of Limerick, on the 12th January 1642 by Charles the 1st. This family were of Norman origins.

 

(3) May be Aughrim. The genealogy of the O’Kelly of Aughrim is detailed in O’Donovan, John (1843) The Tribes and Customs of Hy-Many. Irish Archaeological Society. pp. 123-5
