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

The Traceys
of Wexford can trace their history back to the beginning of historical records,
as Wexford formed part of the territory of the Uí Bairrche. It
would appear from the records of the mid-1800’s that there was four main
settlements of families: North Wexford (close to Arklow, Co. Wicklow); Central
Wexford (Enniscorthy and Ferns); South East Wexford (Wexford Town and
Rosslare); and South West Wexford (New Ross). Named after the Traceys, there
are the townlands of Ballytracey (Baile Uí Threasaigh, Tracey’s Town) just
north of Boolavogue, four miles south east of Ferns, and in the south Tracystown
East (Baile Uí
Threasaigh Thior) and Tracystown West (Baile Uí Threasaigh Thiar),
located 3 miles south-east and 2 miles west of Taghmon respectively. South Wexford was also the home of
Norman Traceys, referenced in historical records dating from 1280 to 1307, but
there does not seem to be any references after this date.

Constable
Treacy (Clonaslee, Queen's County). HC Deb 07 July 1910 vol 18 c1768 1768
§ Mr. DELANY asked the Chief Secretary
whether his attention has been called to the case of Constable [James] Treacy,
lately stationed at Clonaslee, Queen's County, against whom it was alleged that
on a certain Sunday in October last, when acting as barrack orderly between
nine and ten o'clock at night, he stopped two men outside the barracks, and,
after procuring drink for them from an adjacent public-house, incited them to
smash the bicycle belonging to the sergeant of a neighbouring station and throw
it into the river; that on another occasion this constable supplied horns to
two young men, prompting them at the same time to sound a local Protestant,
lately married, with the object of annoying the sergeant; and that he advised
certain persons to feign drunkenness before the sergeant, get arrested, and
then go before a doctor and a magistrate and charge the sergeant with unlawful
arrest; whether he is aware that evidence of a most reliable character is
forthcoming in support of those charges; and will he grant a public sworn
inquiry in order that the allegations against this constable may be thoroughly
investigated?
§ Mr. REDMOND BARRY My attention has
already been drawn to the matters referred to in the question, which were
investigated by two experienced police officers some months ago. The
Inspector-General then came to the conclusion that the case of Constable Treacy
would be sufficiently met by his transfer to another county, as already ordered
on other grounds. I see no reason for any further inquiry.

§ Mr. DELANY asked the Chief Secretary
whether he can say upon what date Constable Treacy left Clonaslee, and where he
is at present stationed; and whether he is engaged in ordinary police duties?
§ Mr. BIRRELL Constable Treacy left
Clonaslee on 14th May and is at present stationed at Coolgreaney [Coolgreany
Co. Wexford]. He performs ordinary police duties.
Royal
Irish Constabulary (Constable Treacy).HC Deb 14 July 1910 vol 19 cc591-2 591
§ Mr. REDDY (for Mr. Delany) asked the
Chief Secretary for Ireland whether he will order a magisterial investigation
into the charges preferred against Constable Treacy, lately stationed at
Clonaslee, Queen's County, seeing that the evidence of eight independent
witnesses is forthcoming charging this constable with incitement to crime and
outrage on three distinct occasions?
§ Mr. BIRRELL As the hon. Member has
already been informed, this matter has been investigated by two experienced
police officers. The constable has been transferred to another county, and I
see no reason for any further inquiry.
§ Mr. REDDY (for Mr. Delany) asked the
Chief Secretary for Ireland whether, at the inquiry held on 19th April at
Clonaslee, Queen's County, by District-Inspectors O'Connor, Kanturk, and
Wallace, Cappawhite, into the charges of incitement to crime and outrage
preferred against Constable Treacy, the evidence was taken on oath; and whether
he will lay a copy of the report of those two police officers and the minutes
of evidence upon the Table of the House?
§ Mr. BIRRELL Evidence was not taken on
oath at the inquiry referred to. I do not propose to lay upon the Table of the
House a copy of the report of the officers who conducted the inquiry.

Traceys of Central Wexford (PLU Enniscorthy)
The earliest record is that of Roderick O’Trassy who is listed as a
Bishop of Ferns, and who is reported to have died in 1145 AD. His position
would indicate that the Traceys still held some power in that area at that
time. Close by there is the townland of Ballytracey (Baile Uí Threasaigh,
Tracey’s Town) at Boolavogue, four miles south east of Ferns, which may have
been his homeland. To the north, overlooking Ballytracey is Carrigroe Hill,
which was used in ancient times for the celebration of Lughnasa (Halloween). It
has an unusual cleft rock formation called the giants bed. In 1624, Lord Esmond
on behalf of his ward stated that Thos Tracy (of Ferns?), among others, had
caused loss of profits to the amount of £1000. Implicated
in the 1641 rebellion, was Thomas Trassy of Cloghaman, gent (Clohamon on the Slaney, six miles
north west of Ferns). In 1642, Nic Tracie also of Cloghamon was named as a
landowner who was in active rebellion.
Six miles south of Ferns is Enniscorthy, which became the main economic
centre of the area from medieval times onwards, due to it’s position on the
Slaney river. It is also the main centre of the Traceys according to later
records. The earliest reference is to Patrick Tracey of Kilcarberry Hill, (St.
Johns townland), south of Enniscorthy Town, which is located on the west side
of the Slaney and it’s tributary the Boro river.

Painting
by John Trumbull in 1784-6 of Captain Patrick Tracey, born 1711 in Kilcarberry
Hill, Enniscorthy, died 1789 Newburyport Massachusetts North America. His
nephews Captain Nicholas Tracy and Captain James Tracy also followed him to
America. The Tracy families of Newburyport were major players in the American
revolution. Captain Nathaniel Tracy (1751-1796), one of the sons of Patrick
Tracey, was the chief financier of the American Revolution. The
following webpage contains a history of the family: Traceys
of Enniscorthy and Newburyport The
following are articles on the family: Echo 28
August 1937 (Enniscorthy) Sunday
Post 1st August 1937 (Boston) |
It would appear that Patrick Tracy and Robert Tracy were brothers. In
1768 there is a record of the will of Robert Tracy, of Killcarberry, which is
not available from the Irish National Archives. According
to Thomas Amory Lee, William Tracy Eustis (b. 29th September
1822 in Boston, d. 11th October 1906) procured a copy of this will,
and he states the following:
“Robert Tracy of Killcarberry,
Wexford, Ireland, farmer, died between December, 1767, and Feb. 22, 1768, when
his will was probated. He therein leaves one shilling each to sons Matthew,
John, James, and to daughters Katherine Devereux, otherwise Tracy, wife of
Thomas Devereux, and Mary Tracy, otherwise Nevil, wife of John Nevil; to
youngest son, Martin Tracy, one-fourth part of thirty-two acres in
Killcarberry, corn housed; under the management of Henry Tracy of the Ring of
St. John in said county, and Matthew Tracy of Rotholm, barony of Forth, in said
county, farmers, they to be executors. Apparently his wife died before 1767.
Her name is unknown.”
Since his son Nicholas is not mentioned in the
will, it may be that he had left for America before the will was drawn up. By
the same reasoning, if the James referenced in the will is Captain James Tracy,
then he would have left for America after the death of his father. In the Freemans Journal of
February 1777, it states that Captain James Tracy, is an Irishman, had served
in our navy, and is a nephew to old Tracy [Patrick], the principal merchant of
Newbury Port, and cousin to the owners of the present prize [Nathaniel and John
Tracy]. In the will of Captain Nicholas Tracy of
Newburyport who died in 1787, there is a reference to his brothers Matthew
Tracy and John Tracy and his sister Catherine Devereux, all of the Kingdom of
Ireland, which may mean that they were alive at that time. The following Memorial of the Dead
is listed for Old Ballymore SE Wexford: “Here lies the body
of Catherine Devereux alias Tracy of Colkeren…her husband Thomas De(vereux) who
depd this life May 12th 1803 aged 78”

Just north of Kilcarberry is
Enniscorthy town. Entries for Traceys in the Catholic Church records start from
1801 onwards. A mile to the west of Kilcarberry, and also on the Boro river is
Ballinapierce townland in the parish of Davidstown. Entries for Traceys in the
Catholic Church records start from 1806 onwards. It may be presumed that
Traceys lived in this area before this. There is a British War Office/Chelsea
Hospital record for a Patrick Treacy (b. about 1778) of St. Mary Parish, who
enlisted in 1801, possibly at Enniscorthy. He served 7 years as a foot soldier
and 11½ years as a dragoon. According to the record he served over 15 years in
the East Indies, but there is another reference to an extra eight years
approximately in the 15th India. He was discharged with a fractured
left leg. He is described as five feet two inches in height, brown hair, grey
eyes, dark complexion and a locksmith by trade.
There are interesting reports describing the unusual burial habits of
the Traceys of the area:
“The Priory of St. John’s near to
Enniscorthy.
This religious establishment was founded at St.
John’s on the small river Urrin, near to its junction with the Slaney, about
one mile south of Enniscorthy, and eleven N.W. of Wexford. …
In this old grave yard was observed,
until about a quarter of a century ago, a
burial custom of some families which we have never heard of elsewhere.
Three families in comfortable circumstances, of the names of Tracy, Doyle and
Daly, with others their immediate connections buried their dead without
coffins. The body being brought in a well made coffin to the edge of the grave,
the friends assembled around, and the body, the face for a moment being
uncovered in order that they might take the last look at the lamented departed,
was laid in the grave, previously prepared with great care. The grave was made
more than six feet deep, and at each end a course of stone work, without
mortar, was raised full two feet high. Much attention was given to the
providing of tough green sods, cut about seven feet long and about two wide,
from the alluvial banks of the Slaney, several of which being rolled up close
by, were conveyed to the graveyard, and the grave then neatly lined with them
from top to bottom, a smooth one covering it perfectly below. The grave thus
presented a smooth green appearance, dry grass and moss were strewn thickly in
it, and a pillow of the same raised the head, as it were in bed. The corpse in
its ample winding sheet, was then removed from the coffin, and laid in the
grave – a stout plank or two, then placed lengthwise from the stonework at head
and foot, and not in contact with the body, and the green sods, the grass
turning downwards, carefully folded over all. The grave was then filled in the
usual manner, and covered with the ordinary green sod, and the coffin was left
for the use of the first poor person who might require it. No coiming was ever
practiced beyond the suppressed working of natural grief. The last ceremony of
this kind which took place here, was at
the funeral of John Doyle of Craan, but his family, and the others who up to
that time were strict observers of it, have since conformed to the practice of
their neighbours, and now bury in coffins. No reason has come down in local
story, of the origin of the custom.”
Wexford Independent
of May 3, 1856, page 1.
In the Tithe records of 1827-1833, there appears to seven to twelve Tracey family located over a large area of central Wexford, including Enniscorthy town, but by the Griffiths Valuation of 1853, this has been reduced to three families located around Enniscorthy.
In 1833, Martin Tracy married Margaret Neil. She was probably also from
Ballinapierce or nearby St. Johns. In December 1801, Thomas Neale of
Ballinapierce was murdered, his house burned down, and his children Michael and
Catherine were also injured. Michael Neile is named in the Tithe records for
Ballinapierce. In consequence of the crimes, a Proclamation was issued by the
Lord Lieutenant and Council, offering a reward for information of £200 for each
person prosecuted, or a pardon if they were involved and informed on their
fellows. Thomas Neale is buried in Clonmore Cemetery. Margaret Neil was
probably the grand-daughter of Thomas Neale.
In the 1860’s the
family seems to have moved into Enniscorthy town. In July 1872, Mathew Tracey
of Enniscorthy made a contribution to the Galway Vindication Fund. In April
1880 in a letter to the Irish Times, Matthew Tracy is listed as one of the
electors of Enniscorthy, who objected to the treatment of Parnell when he
visited the town. In 1885, there is a reference to Mathew Treacy, Baker & Flour Dealer, Market Street, Enniscorthy.
Also there a reference to James Treacy, land-owner in Kiltealy to the west of Enniscorthy.
In
October 1877, at the funeral of Sir James Power, Bart. of Edermine, Enniscorthy,
county Wexford, one of chief mourners was J.E. Tracy, solicitor, of Cork. He appears
to be the only chief mourner from outside of Wexford and his relationship to
the Power family has not been determined.
Perhaps a co-incidence, in 1885 and 1886, the agent for the letting of
Ballinapierce House and approximately 100 acres in Ballinapierce, was Richard
H. Tracy of Naas, Kildare (see Kildare). He worked for
the De Burgh family in Naas. De Burghs also owned the land in Ballinapierce.
In 1894, there are two classified advertisements in the Irish Times for
a Mrs Tracy of Kildrea [Kiltrea?] House and Chapel Street, Enniscorthy, looking
for positions for a cook and a yardman and wife.
In the 1901
and 1911 census records for Enniscorthy town, there only a reference to Matthew
Treacy’s family. In 1911, the family lived in various addresses in the town. Also
there appears to be a discrepancy in the age of John Treacy.

Martin Tracey is also recorded in the neighbouring townland of Dunanore,
Clonmore. These areas are located on the west bank of the Slaney and it’s
tributary the Boro. It would appear that Martin now held the lands in
Ballnapierce previously held by Michael in the Tithe Records.

Traceys of South Wexford
As stated previously, South Wexford
was also the home of Norman Traceys, referenced in historical records dating
from 1280 to 1307, but there does not seem to be any references after this
date. The records state that Richard Tracy held 2 carucats 60 acres in
Leffeth/Le Fech/Fyth (possibly Fayth, Wexford Town) and
Polryth/Pollrith/Polrych (possibly Pollwitch located near Mayglass 2 miles
north from Tomhaggard, South-East Wexford) and pays yearly 57s. 4d. without
suit. There is a reference that he did not pay his rent which needs to be
investigated further.
Tracystown
East (Baile Uí
Threasaigh Thior) and Tracystown West (Baile Uí Threasaigh Thiar),
located 3 miles south-east and 2 miles west of Taghmon respectively, may have
been either Norman or Gaelic settlements. Morley at al state “These last townlands may
be of Norman origin but references to the Norman Tracys in south Wexford are
scarce and they may not have remained in the area. The occurrence of Tracytown
as a townland name in an area of Norman settlement may seem to support the
Norman attribution of Tracy, but
even a cursory examination of Wexford
place names shows this reasoning to be unsound”.
