The Traceys of Donegal can trace their history back to the beginning of historical records, as Donegal formed part of the territory of the Cenél Eóghain. In Donegal, there is the townland of Carntressy in Templecarn, 3 kilometers west of Pettigo, named after the Traceys. Carntressy may mean the burial mound of Tracey, a carn is a burial mound of a pile of stones. Another interpretation may indicate that it was a royal inauguration site for the Traceys.

25 January 1817 (FJ) From an Enniskillen Paper

Last week in the neighbourhood of Ballyshannon, Edward Tracy, a man who, it appears, had served a number of processes for the Quarter Sessions, was forcibly carried off and detained, in order, as it is supposed, to prevent his attendance, and thereby frustrate the ends of justice. This is a novel mode of shewing cause.

15 February 1890 (N) Death

The death is announced of the Rev. Michael Tracey, P.P. V.F., of Dungiven. The senior members of the community in Desertmartin, where he first officiated, and many more of the people of Derry, where he ministered afterwards for about eighteen years, will hear of the event with feelings of unfeigned respect for his memory. Born in the year 1826 in Lower Badony, he became an ecclesiastical student of the Brow of the Hill Seminanry, under the presidency of Father Patrick Campbell. He passed thence with credit to the college of Maynooth. Having served in Desertmartin as curate for some years, the late reverend prelate Dr. Kelly brought him to the City of Derry, where he officiated for about eighteen years. He then appointed him to the important  charge of Dungiven parish about the year 1876. After the death of Father Daniel Magee (who, with Rev. William M'Laughlin, was his colleague in the ministry in Derry City), he succeeded him as Master of Conference of the county Derry Deanery. Under his pastorate in Dungiven, which extended over thirteen years, the new church of St. Patrick was erected cl;ose to the town on the noble site procured by his predecessor, Very Rev. Father Dan Mooney, and of this undoubtedly fine building Father Tracey was justly proud, being heard now and then to put forward its claim to be the second best Catholic Church in this diocese of Derry.

IRELAND—THE SURVEYOR OF INCOME TAX AT DERRY.HC Deb 17 February 1890 vol 341 cc426-7 

§ MR. ARTHUR O'CONNOR (Donegal, E.) I beg to ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he is aware that a warrant was lately issued by the surveyor of Income Tax at Londonderry against Mr. John Tracy, of Newtown Cunningham, in Donegal, in respect of Income Tax upon property, but was discharged on evidence that the ownership was not in Mr. Tracy; whether it is a fact that during the discussion the Surveyor asked Mr. Tracy, "Why did you get your name in for a vote on another person's property;" and if he will explain how an electoral franchise concerns the Surveyor of Taxes as such?

§ MR. GOSCHEN An assesment having been made on Mr. Tracy in respect of a holding for which he was rated as owner and occupier, Mr. Tracy explained that he was not the owner. The Surveyor of Income Tax then asked Mr. Tracy whether he was rated for the purposes of obtaining a vote, in order to as certain how his name appeared in the Rate Book when the property was not this,

Isabel TRACY born 1819 married Hugh McNulty of County Donegal in 1851. In her 1906 obituary published in an American newspaper it was reported that Isabel was married in the town of her birth - Arderth (sic), County Fermanagh. The information for the obituary was provided by her illiterate son-in-law who was also from County Fermanagh. Have searched church records of western Fermanagh looking for a record of this marriage without success. Could Arderth be a mis-spelling of an official name like Ardgart or Ardess? Or is it a colloquial name that is unrecorded? Suggestions? Tom McCarthy
