Patrick Treacy of Dunmore
I can trace Treacys to Dunmore in
the first half of the 19th century. Shoemaker Patrick Treacy married Winifred
Carr of Tipperary. Patrick became a character in Trollope's ‘The Kellys and the
O'Kellys’. Trollope visited Dunmore for a month, May 1841, when Win Ford was
born, and got to know Pat, who in the novel is a sort of horse doctor, big and
dark with a love for the liquor, who saves the heroine from poisoning. Between
family memoirs and the Mormons we have come up with seven children.
Pat Tracy & Winifred/Mary Carr (Garrigh?
30/10/1833)
1. Thomas Tracey b. circa 1829,
Dunmore, joined British Army as drummer in infantry, died of TB age 22, buried
Dunmore.
1860- British War Office (WO97) – Chelsea Hospital
Thomas Treacey, b. 1834 Dunmore, Galway
2. Patrick b. before October 1833 (or 1831), Dunmore, married March 2,
1845, Dunmore, to Bridget Grady, who seems to have been his landlady's
daughter. Win Ford (sister below) had bad memories of British soldiers.
Patrick, according to family stories, was suspected of being a Fenian organizer
for Dunmore and denied it vigorously. This would have been in the 1850's and
may have accounted for Win's lifelong hatred of the British.
Many descendants. Mary Keogh may have thought it was nine children.
1880’s Fenians
“In Dunmore the ‘centre’, I think, was Pat Treacy, a
shoemaker.”

2.1 Patrick Sarsfield b. c. 1848 [see Traceys
of Enniscorthy and Newburyport]
I am doing a search for my daughter's mother
in law, Jean Treacy. Most of Thomas' brothers and sisters went to Newburyport,
Ma. Patrick Sarsfield Treacy, the oldest, was a shoemaker. He was drowned at
age 32 and is buried in Haverill, MA. His son, Hugh Sarsfield Treacy, moved to
Worcester, MA, and the later family to Rhode Island and Conn.

2.2 Daniel b. c. 1849 married a Rogers and was killed
by a train in Haverill, MA. [see Traceys
of Enniscorthy and Newburyport]
2.3 Thomas (b. 1850 d. 1927) m.
Bridget Concannon (b. 1856 d. 1942)
I am researching my family
history and am trying to find more information on a Patrick Tracey/Treacy. All I
know is that Patrick (spelling might be different) was a shoemaker, probably
from Dunmore in County Galway, and that he had a son by the name of Thomas
Tracey. Thomas Tracey was born in 1850 and died in 1927. He was also a
shoemaker and married Briged Concannon (1856-June 18 1942). They immigrated to
Boston, MA but returned to Dunmore after 2 of their children died in America.
My great grandfather, Denis Tracey, was the son of Thomas Tracey and immigrated
finally to the United States and settled in Elizabeth, NJ. If anybody knows any
info on Patrick Tracey or Thomas Tracey, please let me know. Ryan Tracey
I am looking for information on a Bridgid or Bridget Concannon from Ireland that was born in 1856. She married a Thomas Treacy in the 1880s and immigrated to the Boston area. She had two sons in America (Patrick, who died; and Thomas). After the death of Patrick, they went back to Dunmore County, Galway, Ireland and settled onto a property called Castlefarm. Other sons they had include Dan Treacy (b 1887), Patrick Treacy (b 1891), Dennis Treacy (b 1893) and Joseph Treacy (b 1898) and a daughter named Bridgid Tracey (b 1897). Bridgid Concannon Treacy died on June 18, 1942. If anybody has any information about her parents or sibilings, please let me know!! Sandra Tracy 20th Nov 2002 Sandra.Tracy@fao.org tracey9860@attbi.com
I am looking
for information on Bridget Concannon, she married my uncle Thomas Treacy. She was
born in 31st January 1856. She had a brother John, that I know for sure, he is
buried in Dunmore. She is buried in Dunmore in the family plot and her brother
John is buried in the same graveyard with his wife and 2 daughters. My mother
was just buried in Dunmore this past January. The name Julia Ryan is very
familiar, I remember my mother saying that name. I wonder if they are
connected. email me at bridgetreacy@hotmail.ca
Dorothy
Keogh - Sep 26, 2010
According to Mary Keogh, a granddaughter of Thomas and Bridget, there were the following children, her mother's generation: (I can testify to SOME of it as accurate.)
2.3.1
Hugh b. in Haverhill MA, who died either at birth or in infancy in USA
2.3.2
Patrick? b. in Haverhill MA, died USA
2.3.3 Tom, b 1882 in Haverhill MA. The first 2 children died and the depressed family returned to Dunmore. Tom, who had a deformed hip and never married. He was the last Treacy shoemaker in Dunmore and died about 1949. He was a published poet and prose writer for a local Irish magazine, Ireland's Own.

“Daniel Tracey Sr., 76, Dies;

Daniel J Tracey, Sr., 76, of 309
Court St., a retired Elizabeth patrolman, died today at Alexian Brothers
Hospital after an illness of six weeks. He was the father of Daniel J Tracey

He was employed by the Pennsylvania Railroad and at the Bayway Refinery before
his appointment to the police force. He retired on Feb 1, 1952, after 29 years
of service in the old Second Precinct. On July 1, 1934, Mr. Tracey was shot in
the abdomen and another patrolman was killed in a gun battle with a crazed man
in Delaware St. Mr. Tracey was a popular and respected patrolman. Longtime
residents of the Elizabethport section recall that he knew almost everyone on
his beat and feared no one. After he retired, Mr. Tracey often walked his old
beat, renewing friendships in the area. At the time of his death he was
employed as a safety man by the Public Service Electric and Gas Co. Mr. Tracey
was a communicant of St Patrick's Church and a member of its Holy Name Society.
He also was affiliated with Elizabeth Council 253, Knights of Columbus, and
Elizabeth Local 4, PBA. His wife was the late Mrs. Sarah Mackey Tracey.

Known as ‘Big Hughie’ His
grandparents were Pat T and Win Carr, making him a nephew of my great grandmother.
There is an LDS record of a Tom T b 1865 to Pat T and Catherine Grady, if I
remember correctly, and I need clarification as to whether this is the same
family, clerical error, or what. Hughie's brother Tom was b in 1850. Big Hughie
was an athlete who boxed John L Sullivan in an exhibition match. In Montreal he
married and divorced Elizabeth Clark, no children. Obit from the Elizabeth
Daily Journal, October 9, 1923: Hugh Tracey
“Hugh Tracey, 60 years old, of
309 Court Street, died yesterday in the Alexian Brothers Hospital three hours
after being stricken with heart disease in the yard of the Durant Motor
Company, where he was employed as a special policeman. He was a native of
Ireland, and came to this city from Montreal several years ago. He made his
home with a nephew, Daniel Tracey, of 309 Court Street. Previous to entering
the employ of the Durant Motor Company, he was employed by the C.R.R. as a
special policeman. He was a communicant of St. Patrick's, and of Elizabeth
Council No. 233? K of C. In his younger days he was a member of the
Montreal Athletic Club, where he gained a reputation as a champion shot putter.
He is survived by a sister, Mrs.
Mary Walsh, of Boston, a brother, Thomas Tracey, living in Ireland, and three
nephews, all of Elizabeth.”
He was buried in Mt Olivet, next
to the Newark Airport. His sister Mary was famous for giving passenger money to
Dunmore girls so they could come to America where she helped them find
jobs. Once she had paid for a niece to come, but the girl chickened out at the
"wake" and refused to go. Mary Morley took her place, came to
America, and married Mary Walsh's nephew Dennis , brother of Daniel above, whom
I have already mentioned.

inherited his property, cutting out his daughter Bridget who was stuck in

Now for the saga of Denis the
Ne'er-Do-Well. He was born in Dunmore about Nov 23, 1838, of Patrick Treacy and
Mary (sic) Carr. Should be Winifred. He had an annoying habit of using his sister's
birthdate and made himself 4 years younger. When next heard of, he was arriving
at Castlegarden, a steerage passenger on the SS Louisiana from Liverpool, on 12
June, 1863. On the same ship but not related were the Irish Tracys: Hen, 35, m
laborer; wife Eliza, 30; children, Mary, 2; and Hen, infant. SS City of
Limerick arrived June 13 carrying Edwin Treacy, 25, laborer; Mary, 18,
spinster; and Martin, 20, servant. Denis spent 2 days in NYC with no job,
housing or food. On June 14, he enlisted as a landsman in the Union Navy and
eventually served on the USS sloop Pawnee which was part of the effort to
blockade the South. In the Battle of Stone Creek SC, he was shot in the leg and
fell into a chain locker, giving him permanent rib and chest problems on the
right side. On July 6, 1864 he obtained an honorable discharge, $29 in prize
money, and a deed to government land in Michigan. Denis had had it with the US
and wanted to go back to Dunmore. His bad luck continued when his ship was
wrecked and he lost his money and deed. Stranded, he changed his occupation
from shoemaker to Great Lakes sailor, living in Ontario til he moved to
Montreal in 1868. His last career was as a grocer. In 1891 he applied for and
received a $10 a month pension. In 1905 he took part in a Civil War soldiers'
reunion, and died September 10, 1906 in Montreal, leaving a large family. He
kept in touch with his family, including sister Win Ford in New Jersey, and his
brother Pat's son Big Hughie, who moved to Montreal for a while. M Darcy Mavis Darcy

Denis, brother above, was one year late on his sister's leaving Dunmore. She left March 1859 and arrived in NY from Galway May 16, 1859 on the Adelaide just before her 18th birthday. She entered as a servant and claimed to be English. Three months later she married Michael Ford August 19, 1859, Plainfield NJ. Thomas Ford, 24, and Michael Ford, 20, laborers, English, arrived New York from Galway on the Adelaide July 11, 1859. It sounds like an elopement. She died Jan. 5, 1907, Elizabeth, NJ.
Her obit from the Elizabeth Daily Journal, January 7, 1907.
“Mrs Winifred Ford, aged 64 years, died Saturday at the home of her daughter, Mrs Matthew Darcy, 142 Pine street. Mrs Ford was a resident of this city for forty years, and a communicant of St Patrick's Church. She was also a member of the Rosary Society, and of the Third Order of St Francis. She leaves one son, Michael, and one daughter, Mrs Matthew Darcy, at whose home she died. Funeral services will be held at St Patrick's Church tomorrow morning, with interment in Mount Olivet Cemetery.”

Most of the Traceys went back and

papers out for the inevitable and have more than 3 wash tubs full.
The word of my late cousin Helen
T contrasts with Mary's and a couple others, as the generations seemed to pile
up together. Helen says her great grandfather was Patrick, married to B Grady,
and son of Patrick and Win Carr. He was the older brother of Denis the
Ne'er-Do-Well and My great grandmother Win Ford. They also had brothers Hugh
and Thomas, but she says, no Michael. The Dunmore records list Peter Martin,
who Mary K says did not exist. Thomas was the soldier who died of tb; Hugh I
can't find.
