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.”
Ryan, Mark Francis (1946) Fenian Memories.
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

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.

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 Jr., executive director of the Elizabeth Redevelopment Agency and a
former president of City Council. Born in Ireland, Mt Tracey came here in his
youth. 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. Surviving also are five daughters, Sister Alice Perpetua of St Philip the Apostle School. Saddle Brook:

Elizabeth NJ 8th October 1923.
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.

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.”

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.
