Hi there,
I've come across one of your Tracy's whom I believe is "missing" from
your website. First found him on an 1880 Census in Rice, Texas then located his
death certificate - both are attached. He would have been the first son of
William and Margaret but is not mentioned.
Since he isn't mentioned I guess there's little point asking whether you
have any further information about him (but will anyway, just in case)! An
American University Professor and one of my cousins are both writing books
about James Douglas Ogilby, who lodged with John
Tracy in Rice for 18 months or so and researched the birds of Navarro. We
were curious as to the link between them. JDO's father and grandfather
were High Sheriffs and Lords Lieutenant of County Tyrone so we assume they and John's father William became acquainted on the
Irish legal circuit. At any rate, I found your website most helpful in establishing
this. Thanks!
Kind regards,

public officer and a gentleman. The address was signed by upwards of 50

Captain Samuel Tracy, for nine years a sub-inspector
of the police, and now a stipendiary magistrate, altogether in the constabulary
fifteen years, testifies to the same facts connected with Ribondism
as Mr. Fausset, and produces other documents. He
deposes that "one of the objects was to obtain an independent legislature
for Ireland, and to recover the estates that were forfeited." He states
that his informant in Sligo says, that "all the peasantry, from sixteen to
fifty years of age, are engaged in it, and that its objects were to be obtained
by force, the members being sworn to turn out at two hours' notice."

November 1862 Masonic Banquet and Testimonial to
Wm. S. Tracy, Esq
On Tuesday
evening, a grand Masonic banquet and testimonial to the R W D P G , master of Belfast and North Down, Wm S Tracy, P G R C, K
H, on his removal from Belfast, where he has sat for fourteen years discharged
the onerous and important duties of Resident Magistrate with exempiary zeal, ability and imparliality,
took place in the Ulster Hall. This public mark of respect was confined
exclusively to the members of the Masonic Order, in which Mr Tracy has long
held very high rank and office, and was kept quite distinct from the other
banquet which the gentlemen of the town generally are about to give him
tomorrow evening. When the brethern had all
assembled, Brother Samuel Gibson Getty, M P, the Past D P G M of Belfast and
North Down, addressing Mr Tracy, said he regretted that, in consequence of the
non-complation of the plate by the goldsmith, they
were unable to present it on that occasion, but it would shortly be ready, and
would be presented in due course. Brother Getty then read the address. Brother
Tracy said that he had prepared a reply but, as he was labouring under a very
serious affection of the chest, caused by his having caught cold, he really
could not read it at that moment. If they would permit him, he would ask Mr
Lanyon to read his reply. Brother Charles Lanyon (Mayor of Belfast) then read
the reply, the conclusion of which was the signal for loud applause.
Immediately after the reading of the address and reply, the brethern
proceeded to the minor hall, where the banquet had been laid out. The interior
of the hall was beautifully decorated with garlands of flowers and with Masonic
banners, symbols, &c, the full meaning of which was known only to the
members of the order. Covers were laid for about 150. The chair was occupied by
Brother S G Getty, MP. - Northern Paper.
