 It may be presumed that the Traceys of Wicklow are descended from the Uí Bairrche.

 

Similar to the Traceys of Louth, the Traceys of Wicklow are mainly located in the seaport of the county, Arklow, which was in the territory of the Uí Eineachghlais, a sister tribe of the Uí Bairrche.

To the Committee for conducting the Free-Press

Dearest Brethren,

As the Freedom and Liberty of the Press, is no small Part of the Happiness of the Subject, and that through the Channel of  your Paper, Facts can be related without Distinction of Persons; I take the Liberty of requesting you to insert in your next Paper the following Case, which you may rely on being a Fact, having seen it on Record in the Court of Exchequer.

Not 100 Miles from the upper End of Great Britain-street, lives a young Reverend Parson, from Size, and surprizing abilitiees well qualified for a Mitre, and from his Marraige to the Niece of a Right Reverend, not without Hopes of one. This Gentleman's Father, A Resident, near Arklow, in the County of Wicklow, where he had a small Estate and some Leasehold Interests, in or about the Year 1745, set about 70 Acres, Part of his Leaseholds, to one Garret Tracy, at a Rent of about 11s. an Acre, which Lease and Premises this Tenant has since held, and more frequently for that Time paid the Rent before than after it was due, as appears by the Receipts. This young Parson on the Death of his Father, as only Child, became seized of his whole Possessions, and in the Year 1769 applied to said Tracy, to surrender his old Lease, so made by his Father, and take a new one from him, at a rent of about 18s. an Acre, which said Tracy agreed to, and this young Parson having declared the greatest Regard for his and his Father's good old Tenant, who not only paid him before Hand, but was ready on all Occasions to join him in Security, told this poor simple honest Man that to save him Expence, he would draw the Leases; accordingly printed Leases were filled up and executed by said Parties, but the old ones, through the Design of his Reverence not cancelled or surrendered. His Reverence then alledging, as is likely was the case, that he was in Want of Money, applied to his Tenant to advance him a Year's Rent, and he not having it in his Power to comply with his Request, his Reverence, in Hillary Term last, caused a Bill of Discovery to be filed against this old Tenant, on the aforesaid Transactions, and is proceeding thereon, to dispossess him of his Farm.

Quere, was it upon such Principles, the Acts against the Growth of Popery were founded?

As I am not acquainted with any of the Parties, if his Reverence will Please to quiet his honest Tenant, in the Possession of his Farm, and be for the future more careful of his Conduct, it is all that intended by,

Gentlemen,

Your Well-wisher,

John Telltruth

Tracy, Lawrence, (page 1014), farmer, is a native of County Wicklow, Ireland, where he was born January 6, 1822. He was second of six children born to James and Elizabeth Byrne Tracy, who died in their native land. Previous to his coming to this country (1846) the subject of our sketch spent five years as engineer, and for four years followed that business in Pennsylvania. January 13, 1849, he wedded Ann Foley, of Schuylkill county, Pennsylvania. This marriage has been blessed with nine children, six of whom are living: Mrs. Veronica McGinn, of Minneapolis; James A.; Mrs. Ann McGinn, of Minneapolis; Ellen, a teacher of this county; Mrs. Elizabeth Fox; Mary F. From Pennsylvania Mr. Tracy went, in 1850, to the copper mines of northern Michigan, where he mined until 1856, when he settled in the town of Pell (now Oakwood), Wabasha county, being one of the early pioneers of that part of the county. In the fall of 1858 he moved to West Albany, where he has since lived. He and his wife are members of the Catholic church. In politics he is independent, supporting the men and principles of which his judgement approves. He has been often called to the public service, being a member of the first county board of supervisors; later was township treasurer four years, and for sixteen years has held the office of assessor. He is a man of intelligence, has at times contributed to the local papers, and is one of the leading citizens of the community.
Also from this book it says:
The town of Tracy was so named by Mr. Lakey, superintendent of the road, in honor of Lawrence Tracy, on whose farm the station was established. Since 1878 the Mazeppa Mill Company has been buting wheat at this place.

Does anyone have access to cemeteries at Castlemacadam Church, and also, Avoca Methodist Church? Am looking for gravesites which have the names, Tracy & Carr.  My maternal gggrandfather is William Tracy. Do not know the first names of his parents. His wife is Ellen Carr, and her parent's names are William & Anne Carr. Since my gggrandparents married, and the baptisms of all their children were at Castlemacadam, some of their family must be buried in those cemeteries. Any help in finding any of my Tracy or Carr families will be greatly appreciated. With regards, Sue Ellen Berendsen, Wisconsin USA

I found no Methodist Church cemetery while researching this area and found that methodists were buried in the same graveyards as church of Ireland divided in life united in death.........

I would also like to point out to anyone needing any information on these graveyards Brian Cantwell only did up to a certain era 1900 or only if they were of antiquity.

There is no record left at Avoca for these church yards and there is no burial plan it disappeared about three years ago and the only plan I have is one i drew while researching the area in 2001 .......for my research purposes.

The only references i found to Carr was in the cemetery at Little Bray, Bray, Co.wicklow ......and in the Shillalegh Mullinacuff area.

Liam Treacy (1934-2004), was a Wicklow artist who had been painting in an impressionist style since the 1950s. Liam Tracey was born in Avoca, Co. Wicklow, where his family have been settled for many generations. During his primary school days, Tracey was very interested in drawing, influenced by his brother Sean. He exhibited regularly with the James Gallery, Dalkey, and had participated in a wide range of group shows including the annual RHA exhibitions and the Wexford Opera Festival. In 1978 Liam Treacy went full-time as a professional painter, a courageous step, and the fact that he had made a career of it is testimony to the sheer quality of his work as an artist. Before going professional, he worked in the former Brennan's Bakery in Arklow, which used his skill as an artist to paint the lettering on its vans.  For many years he was an art teacher for night-time classes in Arklow Community College, Abbey Community College, Wicklow; and at Shelton open detention centre art classes for the prisoners.

Garrett Tracey

I am searching for information about Garrett Tracey/Treacey/Treacy. He was born about 1810 and in 1854 was a blacksmith in Corngower West, Parish of Dunganstown, Co Wicklow, where he was leasing a house, offices and land. There was also a John Tracey and Patrick Tracey in the Griffin Valuations renting a house and yard at Wexford Road. I wonder if they were the brothers of Garret or any other relation. I am also searching for Garret's son, John Tracey/Treacey/Treacy born in the Parish of Ashwood near Arklow in 1838. John was married to Mary Coffy who was born in 1849. John enlisted in the Wicklow Militia in 1859 and then in the 89th Regiment of Foot in Tipperary. He finally settled in England about 1884 after enlisting with the York and Lancaster Regiment

I'm looking for information about my grandfather William Tracey (Tracy, Treacy). He was born in Rathdrum, Co Wicklow on 1 January 1903, but his family lived in Roscommon. His father was William and mother Catherine Hughes, siblings: Catherine, Patrick, Andrew, James, Michael, Elizabeth, Margaret. The whole family moved to Scotland (Greenock) circa 1930. I've been searching with no luck for a few years now. Any information would be great relief. Thanks for any clues!
