It may be presumed that the Traceys of Louth are descended
from the Uí Bairrche.
It is
presumed that the Traceys of Louth are of the Uí Bairrche, as
there is also a high prevelance of Carneys and Gormans in that area. Similar to
the Traceys of Wicklow, they are mainly located in the seaport of the county,
Drogheda.

Old Age Pensions (Ireland).HC Deb 08 June 1910 vol 17 cc824-5 824
§ Mr. NOLAN asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether his attention has been drawn to the case of a man, named Michael Tracey, seventy-two years of age, of the town of Drogheda, county Louth, who has applied for an old age pension and has been refused on the plea that his wife, who deserted him seventeen years ago and has been living apart from him ever since, has, during the separation, received Poor Law relief; whether he is aware that Tracey himself has been all his life a hard-working industrious man of good character, and has never at any time been a burden upon the rates; and whether he will cause this case to be further inquired into with a view to securing justice for this man who, through no fault of his own. has been declared ineligible for a pension?
§ Mr. BIRRELL The Local Government Board in January, 1909, disallowed Tracey's pension, as his wife had been in receipt of outdoor relief. The fact that a husband and wife live apart does not affect the statutory provision of the Poor Law Acts that relief given to a wife shall be considered as given to the husband; and Tracey was accordingly disqualified for a pension, under Sub-section (1) (a) of Section 3 of the Old Age Pensions Act.

Rev. Jeremiah F. Tracy (1821-1889) Pioneer Priest One of the earliest Catholic settlements of Nebraska was founded in Dakota County in 1855 by a group under the leadership of Reverend J. F. Tracy. It was known as Saint Patrick Settlement, and from his church of Saint John, Father Tracy attended similar colonies in Omaha, and in Nebraska City. Rev. Jeremiah F. Tracy was born in Drogheda, County Louth, Ireland, in 1821, came to America with his parents in 1831, and grew to manhood in Lancaster, Pa, where the family settled. After finishing his studies he was principal of the high school there for a few years. During the Know Nothing riots in Philadelphia in 1843-1844, he was honoured by being appointed one of the guards to protect the churches from destruction. In 1849 he entered the Catholic school for young men at Chicago, where after hard study and close application he received minor orders from Bishop Quarters, but was stricken with pneumonia and advised by the doctors to seek a more congenial climate away from the lakes. He went to Dubuque where he was adopted by Bishop Loras and finished his studies at the old St. Bernard’s college, Table Mound, and was ordained on June 24, 1850. At that time the cholera was raging in Dubuque and the young priest remained with his Bishop all that year and part of the next, unselfishly ministering to the spiritual and physical necessities of the sick and dying. In many stricken families Father Tracy’s name was a household word, and many now holding exalted positions and living in fine homes in Dubuque and other parts of Iowa, are children for whom he provided homes when their parents were stricken down with the cholera. Many times did he and the good Bishop Loras go without food for long periods so completely was their time taken up with ministering to the wants of the sick and dying In the fall of
1851 he was appointed pastor of Garryown, Jackson county, Iowa, a large Irish
Catholic settlement, where he built the large, substantial stone church, 50
by 105 feet, which is still used by that large parish. He also established a
parochial school, which is still taught by the Sisters of Charity. In June,
1855, Father Tracy and his brother
John crossed the state of Iowa and the Missouri River and explored the
country and selected the site for his colony, which he brought there the
following year. Returning to Dubuque he tried to induce some of the settlers
around there to go to Nebraska, but they evidently thought they were far
enough west already. He went east to find recruits for his colony, and while
pursuing this work he met much opposition, particularly from Archbishop
Hughes of New York, who denounced him and his scheme to take his innocent
countrymen into the wilds of the west, where they might starve or suffer
other untold misfortunes. This shows how great men may be mistaken in their views,
as the Archbishop was by preferring to see the Irish immigrants remain in the
slums of the great cities, subject to all their contaminating influences,
instead of coming west to enjoy the pure air and glorious sunshine of the
prairies, to live happy and virtuous lives, while enjoying the greatest
degree of material prosperity as the members of this colony certainly did.
Father Tracy made a canvass in the New England states, where he secured a
number of recruits and the next spring started with them for Nebraska, coming
from Dubuque by wagon, fording streams and rivers, and enduring great
hardships in crossing the hitherto untrodden prairies. On June 1, 1856, they
crossed the Missouri River at Sioux City and on the next day reached the
selected site, which he named St. Johns, about a mile and a half north and
east of the present site of Jackson. There were eighteen wagons and about
sixty people in all, including his single brother John. Others followed
the same year and the following years the colony grew to be a large and
prosperous one. For a short time mass was celebrated in a
tent, but as soon as possible a log church was erected, which was later
replaced by a frame structure. After getting the church and parish well
established, Father Tracy looked around for scattered Catholics wherever he
could find them. In June 1857 he celebrated the first Mass in Sioux City. In
1858 he founded a church in Council Bluffs, the first one erected there for
white settlers. He visited points along the Missouri River as far north as
Fort Randall. After about four years of this strenuous
life, his health failed and he left St Johns in 1860, and after remaining in
Sioux City for a few months went south to the diocese of Mobile and was
appointed pastor at Huntsville, Ala. During the Civil War he served as
chaplin in General Rosecran’s army, but did not confine his ministrations to
the Federal ranks alone, crossing and recrossing the lines, wherever he found
sick and dying soldiers. After the war he returned to Mobile diocese, working
until 1879 when he was striken with paralysis. He was taken to the Alexian
Brother's Hospital in St. Louis where he passed away nine years later, March
1889. The old town site for which Father Tracy had
great expectations is now a farm and the only indication that it had existed
is the cemetery on the hill overlooking it which is still used as "the
city of the dead." Ref: Nebraska ancestree, Volumes

Toberdoney
holy well is in the townland of Drumbilla in a field the property of Mr Tom
Treanor of Drumbilla. It does not appear on the 1836 O.S. map but is marked and
named on the 1910 edition. The earliest reference is in the O.S. Letters: 'In
Drumbilla Townland there is a well called Tobar Domhnaighy at which there is a
station on the first Sunday of the quarter'. On a visit in 1990, accompanied by
my wife Kathleen, I had the pleasure of speaking to Mr Tom Treanor, and to Mr
Willie Treacy from Shortstone who has an excellent knowledge of the history
of the parish of Roche and of the well. Mr Treacy told a traditional story that
around 250 years ago the well was used only for religious purposes but a local
resident, rather than travel for water to a domestic w7ell, violated the holy
w7ell by drawing water from it on an Easter Saturday evening. The following
morning when the kettle was some time on the fire, blood overflowed from it. He
immediately examined his water container again only to discover that the water
in it had also turned blood red. He immediately returned to the holy well in
the hope that someone had tampered with his container, only to find that the
water in the well was as red as blood. It remained as such for the rest of that
day but was found to be clear water on Easter Monday morning.
