 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, Ballegresaigh, Tracey’s Town) just north of Boolavogue, four miles south east of Ferns, and in the south Tracystown [Traceystown] East (Baile Uí Threasaigh Thior) and Tracystown West (Baile Uí Threasaigh Thiar), located 3 miles south-east and 2 miles west of Taghmon respectively. In the Grand Panel of the county of Wexford of 1608, there is a reference to Illanstrassock (Tracey’s bog/marsh islands) in the Barony of Gwery [Gorey]. The best match may indicate that it is the Island townlands of the civil parish of Rossminoge, west of Gorey Town. South Wexford has early State historical records dating from 1280 to 1307, but there does not seem to be any references after this date, until modern times.

6 November 1770 Freemans Journal

To the Committee for conducting the Free-Press

Dearest Brethren,

As the Freedom and Liberty of the Press, is no small Part of the Happiness of the Subject, and that through the Channel of your Paper, Facts can be related without Distinction of Persons; I take the Liberty of requesting you to insert in your next Paper the following Case, which you may rely on being a Fact, having seen it on Record in the Court of Exchequer.

Not 100 Miles from the upper End of Great Britain-street, lives a young Reverend Parson, from Size, and surprizing abilitiees well qualified for a Mitre, and from his Marraige to the Niece of a Right Reverend, not without Hopes of one. This Gentleman's Father, A Resident, near Arklow, in the County of Wicklow, where he had a small Estate and some Leasehold Interests, in or about the Year 1745, set about 70 Acres, Part of his Leaseholds, to one Garret Tracy, at a Rent of about 11s. an Acre, which Lease and Premises this Tenant has since held, and more frequently for that Time paid the Rent before than after it was due, as appears by the Receipts. This young Parson on the Death of his Father, as only Child, became seized of his whole Possessions, and in the Year 1769 applied to said Tracy, to surrender his old Lease, so made by his Father, and take a new one from him, at a rent of about 18s. an Acre, which said Tracy agreed to, and this young Parson having declared the greatest Regard for his and his Father's good old Tenant, who not only paid him before Hand, but was ready on all Occasions to join him in Security, told this poor simple honest Man that to save him Expence, he would draw the Leases; accordingly printed Leases were filled up and executed by said Parties, but the old ones, through the Design of his Reverence not cancelled or surrendered. His Reverence then alledging, as is likely was the case, that he was in Want of Money, applied to his Tenant to advance him a Year's Rent, and he not having it in his Power to comply with his Request, his Reverence, in Hillary Term last, caused a Bill of Discovery to be filed against this old Tenant, on the aforesaid Transactions, and is proceeding thereon, to dispossess him of his Farm.

Quere, was it upon such Principles, the Acts against the Growth of Popery were founded?

As I am not acquainted with any of the Parties, if his Reverence will Please to quiet his honest Tenant, in the Possession of his Farm, and be for the future more careful of his Conduct, it is all that intended by,

Gentlemen,

Your Well-wisher,

John Telltruth

20 January 1864 Wexford Independent

Gorey - from our own correspondent...The attemped murder by shooting near Arklow. I am informed that a Mr Beaky of Dublin, purchased the lands occupied by respectable farmers named Murphy, Tracy and Gregory, who held that land for a considerable period, and greatly improved it - and, in fact, built out offices, &c., and paid their rent up to the day. Mr Murphy, I am told, built the coast guard station at Kilmicheal, but all were disposed of their holdings. The man that was fired at was a brother to Mr Beaky that purchased the land. The shot was fired from the lower story, and several grains penetrated the boards of the loft, and were found under the bed. There was a notice posted upon the door, stating that if he did not repair what he had done, to prepare for eternity; and also "That Tipperary Pat had come." There was a coffin drawn out on the notice posted. [Griffith’s Valuation has a John Gregory of Kilmichael]

...Constable Jas. Treacy, Queen's Co., to Wexford...

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.

Royal Irish Constabulary (Constable Treacy).HC Deb 13 July 1910 vol 19 cc573-4W 573W

§ 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.

In memory of deceased friends of William & Eliza Treacey Kilpatrick RIP [circa 1885]

 
 

 

 

 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 and the Uí Bairrche held some power in that area at that time. Close by, there is the townland of Ballytracey (Baile Uí Threasaigh, Tracey’s Town, 1654 Ballitrassie/Ballitrassy) 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. After the Norman invasion, Ballytracey may have become the property of the church, similar to nearby Ballyregan, as part of a resolution of a dispute in 1226-7 between John de St. John, Bishop of Ferns and the Prendergasts of Enniscorthy.

 

 

 

The image on the left is taken from the shine of St. Máedoc of Ferns, and the two figures are dressed in the fashion of the early aristocracy and clergy of Ireland. The chap on the left reminds me of the pose that my father used to make.

 

 

De Episcopis Fernensibus

 

(Extract from Ware 1665)

 

Image003.jpg

Detail from a list of the Bishops of Ferns at St Aidan's Cathedral, Enniscorthy, Co. Wexford.

 

 

 

In 1332, in the Memoranda rolls of Edward III, there is a reference to Johen Tassi de Villa Otrassi ie John Tassy of the town of Otrassy. The reference refers to the old Wexford barony of Keir, which was a large district to the west of the Slaney, between Enniscorthy and Wexford. With regard to the names stated, the 'de Dene' [ie Dane] were big Norman players in that part of Wexford and are connected with Wilton Castle beside Ballinapierce. Villa Otrassi would have been located in this area.

 

In the 1605 Patent Rolls of James I, there is a Flarie Mc Effee of Ballenebieressagh (Ballinapierce)

 

Sir Richard Masterson was Seneschal of Ferns and Wexford Castles, holding the manors of Ferns, Clohamon and Cloghleskin. He died in 1627, and his heir was claimed to be Edward, the son of Robert Masterson of Ardtroman [Artramont]. His wardship was granted to Lord Esmond, who brought an action for intrusion in May 1634. He stated that Nic Clinton of Ferns, Murtagh McDonnell Dowill, Thos Tracy, Redmond Archdeacon alias Candy, Dermott McHugh Groney, Laurence Masterson, Anthony Cavanagh, Donnagh ne Killy, Wm Talbot, Thos Clare and Edmond St. Michell, among others, had caused loss of profits to the amount of £1000.

Before he died, Laurence Masterson of Rosmenock [Rossminoge], the family seat of that branch of the family, had proved his right to the lands. In 1635, Thos Masterson, returned from England on the death of his brother Laurence Masterson and filed a suit to regain the manor of Cloghleskine [Clogh Liskinfere]. Thomas Thracie/Thracy/Tracy/Tracie is named as being the agent and stewart of Laurence Masterson, by reason that he was best acquinted with the tenants and customes of the lands. There was a wrangle over a valuation of £2420 and the mortgage of the lands.

In 1636, in a second suit, Thos Masterson successfully regained the lands lost by the complaint of Lord Esmond, namely Ballyconnore als Barronscourt, Ballinemonie [Ballinamona Toome?], Ballyduffe [Ballyduff Kilcomb?], Cranbarry and the Rectory of Liskine [Liskinfere Civil Parish]. Also Thomas Tracy and Edmond St. Michael also regained their lands in FFernes [Ferns].

 

Implicated in the 1641 rebellion was Thomas Trassy of Cloghaman, gent (Clohamon [Kilrush]  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. “The list is a veritable 'Who's Who' of Catholic Wexford in the mid seventeenth-century…” (Whelan 1990)

 

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 distinct 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.

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:

Nathaniel Tracy (1751-1796)

 

It would appear that Patrick Tracy had a brother Robert Tracy. 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 (1822-1906) 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.”

 

In 1838, in a chancery advertisement of John Flood and Sons [or others], Plaintiffs, and William Sutton and Sons [or others], Defendants, there is the following reference:

 

“that part and parcel of the Lands of St. John's as formerly in the possession of Henry Tracy, deceased, but now in the actual possession of the said Patrick Sutton and his under tenants, containing about 15 Irish acres, situated in the manor of St. John's and county of Wexford.”

 

For the tithe records that are available, there are no Suttons named in the locality but they are there in the Griffiths Valuation at King's Island, Clonmore and Guttle St. Enniscorthy. Of interest, in the 1798 rising, there are references to the Suttons of Enniscorthy; Patrick Sutton, a former merchant of Enniscorthy who was a rebal general in 1798, his son Matthew, Father John Sutton of Enniscorthy and “James Sutton of Clonmore, Enniscorthy, murdered 14 June on Vinegar- hill ( leaving) a widow one child and father and mother.

 

Returning to the will, 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].  Of interest, Patrick Tracy and his son John were vestrymen of St. Pauls Episcopal Church, Newberryport, while Captain James Tracy was described as a Roman Catholic. 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 [Coolkeeran Killinick]…her husband Thomas De(vereux) who depd this life May 12th 1803 aged 78”

 

The Tracys of Newburyport were trading and travelling to Europe and presumably had contact with Wexford. In the Free Mason records of Newburyport, it states that Matthew Tracy was a visitor from 1781 to 1791. It was Nathaniel Tracy who forwarded letters from Wexford to Commodore John Barry [father of the American Navy], regarding his relatives living there (SE Wexford):

 

“Letters from Ireland - the first definite word from his family since the outbreak of war [1775] were awaiting Barry when he reached New London, on July 20. Their exact contents we cannot be sure of, but, apparently, they contained word of the death of his parents, and the destitute situation of his two sisters, Margaret Howlin and Eleanor Hayes, and their little families.

"They are really very moving to me," the Captain wrote to Nathaniel Tracy, at Boston, who had forwarded the letters. He asked Tracy to arrange for payment of twenty guineas annually to the unfortunates, and suggested the money be cleared through London bankers.”

Ref: Clark, William Bell (1938) Gallant John Barry 1745-1803. The Story Of A Naval Hero Of Two Wars. The Macmillan Company, NY.

 

There is also a record of a letter from Barry in 1783, regarding the money that he owed to the Tracys (Griffin).

 

One of the Tracys of Newburyport, Captain Thomas Tracy who left Ireland around 1766, did travel to Ireland in 1783 and visited his parents, but it is not completely certain that he was from Wexford.

 

The following is the family tree drawn up from the information available:

 

1. Unknown Tracy

1.1. Robert Tracy, farmer of County Wexford (died about December 1767)

1.1.1 Katherine Tracy of Wexford married Thomas Devereux (born about 1725, died Ballymore, Wexford May 12th 1803 aged 78)

1.1.2 Captain Nicholas Tracy (born about 1726 Co. Wexford, died on 23rd May 1787 Newburyport, MA)

1.1.3 Matthew Tracy of Wexford (may have died after 1787). May have been a visitor to Newburyport 1781-1791.

1.1.4 John Tracy of Wexford (may have died after 1787)

1.1.5 James Tracy of Wexford, perhaps Captain James Tracy

1.1.6 Mary Tracy of Wexford married John Nevil

1.1.7 Martin Tracy, youngest son, of Killcarberry Wexford

1.2. Captain Patrick Tracey (born about 1711 at Kilcarberry Hill, Enniscorthy, Co. Wexford, died 28th February 1789 Newburyport, MA)

 

Henry Tracy, farmer, of the Ring of St. John, Enniscorthy

 

Matthew Tracy, farmer, of Rotholm [Ratholm], barony of Forth

 

In 1800, James Treacy was tried for his part in the murder of English and Tremble in 1798 and was transported to Australia for 7 years. In 1808, he tried to to cross the mountains but was caught and was sentenced to one hundred lashes for absenting himself from his master.  He was granted a certificate of freedom in 1810.

 

"In the first week of the Rebellion, my father, John English, John Tremble and myself came out of... Park, where we had been concealed. At the crossroads of Knockmarshall [St. Johns Enniscorthy], met the prisoner and a party of rebels, the prisoner armed with a pike, and seeing the party, went to hide. I was ordered down to the party by one Devereux [of the Leap], who was a captain. We were then ordered away and the prisoner. James Treacey cried out "Lash the Orange dogs away, everyone of them shall not live”.  I had a sore leg and was ordered by Devereux to be guarded until I got well and then was sent to be with the rest...”

 

There is a British War Office/Chelsea Hospital record for a Patrick Treacy (b. about 1778) of St. Mary Parish Wexford, who enlisted in 1801, at ‘Inniscorthy’. It is possible that this may be St. Mary’s Wexford Town.  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 is also listed as serving with the 25th Dragoons in Canada from 1801 to 1806. 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. His physical description is also included in the record. He retired to the Cape, South Africa on a pension granted in March 1819.  The records of 1830, state that he was on a full pension of 1s per day.

 

It may be presumed that Traceys lived in this area before the written records that are available. There is land in Kilcarbry/Ballinapierce called Treacy’s Land. There may also be indications of an earlier history. There is a family by the name of Hassey living in Davidstown Parish. Hassey is a very rare name in Ireland and may be dervived from the pronunciation of the Gaelic name of Uí Threasaigh. There is also a townland in the parish called Clohass (Clogh hassie - …Cacestowne als Clohassye…Cloughcasse...), which may be named after the family. The surname Clohassy/Clohessy is usually found in counties Clare and Limerick. In the Davidstown parish records, the Hassys lived on the Island [perhaps King’s Island Clonmore] and later Clohass. In addition, there is another townland named Ballinavary (Baile-na-mBarrach), which may indicate an Uí Bairrche connection.

 

The Traceys are said to have been buried in the Corrig graveyard in St. John’s. There are interesting reports [link] describing the unusual burial habits of the Traceys of the area:

 

Ancient Mode of Interment

To the Editor of the Independent

Sir - As to the manners and customs of our ancestors are sinking into oblivion, may I tresspass on your columns for the following account of a singular, and picturesque custom of burying their dead, observed by some families, of a respectable class of peasantry in this immediate neighbourhood, which custom here was confined solely, for at least a century back, to some families named Tracy, with their connections, Doyles, &c., and a family named Daly, in no way connected with the Tracy family. The grave being dug deep, stones were placed within the grave at each end, about 2½ feet in height, the grave was then neatly lined with soil or grass scrolls of about 2½ feet in width, and of sufficient length to extend from the surface to, and on the bottom of the grave, fastened to the bank with skewers of wood, next a bed of dry grass and moss was laid in the grave, raised at the head like a pillow - the corpse wrapped closely in a sheet, was carried on a broad plank to the grave, where being deposited on the bed of grass, the plank was laid over it, being supported at each end by the stones before mentioned, which kept it about 1½ feet above the corpse; next, the upper part of the scrolls were unfastened from the side and carefully laid over the plank, the end scrolls in like manner. The grave was then filled up with earth, and covered with a scroll in the ordinary way. The last so buried thus was John Doyle, of craan, about the year 1818, in St. John's church yard, adjoining this town, the burying place of those families. The grave was prepared and the funeral conducted by the Tracys. Since then the younger branches of the family, having the conducting of funerals, have fallen into the habits of their neighbours. Caoineing, or keening, was not customary at those funerals. Having been at funerals in remote districts of the south and west of Ireland, where the corpse was attended to the grave by caoiners (keeners), I never knew or heard then, of any family voluntarily burying their dead without coffins. Now, as we are a mixed race in this county, - the descendants of old Irish, Danes, Welsh, Anglo-Normans, &c., you, or any of your numerous readers, giving information, of the origin of the above custom will much oblige.

Your humble servant,

J.P.

Enniscorthy, Feb 17, 1848.

Wexford Independent of 19 February 1848

Church records for the area begin at the start on the nineteenth century. Just north of Kilcarbry is Enniscorthy town and entries for Traceys in the Catholic Church records start from 1801 onwards. A mile to the west of Kilcarbry, and also on the Boro river is Ballinapierce (Ballineperesagh, Ballina pierce) townland in the parish of Davidstown. Entries for Traceys in the Catholic Church records start from 1806 onwards.

 

There is another British War Office/Chelsea Hospital record for a Michael Tracey (b. circa 1825), born in the parish of Enniscorthy, Wexford and joined the 13th Regiment in Dublin on the 24 of January 1844 at the age of 19. His service record states that he served 20 years 111 day, during which period he served 11 years 10 months abroad, 10 years 8 months in The East indies and 1 year 2 months in China.

He was discharged being unfit for further duty on the 30th June 1864. He had four good conduct badges, no medals and one court martial. He served as a private in the 13th Light Infantry from 24th March? 1844 to 30th May 1844, and in the 87th from 1st June 1844 to his discharge. He was 5'8", fresh complexion, grey eyes and dark brown hair. His intended residence is given as Liverpool.

 

In the Tithe records of 1827-1833, there appears to four Tracey familys located in and around Enniscorthy town and also in the in the Catholic Parish of Monagear. The families in Ballinapierce are the only ones that remained in the area.

 

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 1840 British Regimental Registers for Canada, there is a Thomas Tracy. 5'7.25", 18 years, sallow complexion, hazel eyes, brown hair, b. Enniscatley [Enniscorthy] Wexford, Labourer, enlisted Enniscorthy 13th Jany 1840.

 

There is a reference that an Arthur Tracy (s. of John & Julia Tracy, both dead), Roman Catholic, stone mason and bricklayer, aged 27 years of Enniscorthy, Wexford, Ireland & Julia Tracy (d. of Patrick & Julia Tierney, both dead) Roman Catholic, domestic servant, aged 26 years of Dublin, Ireland, arrived in New South Wales, Australia on the ‘Alfred’ on the 29 Jan 1842. Their child, Jane Tracy was born on board 28 January 1842. Also on board ship and who may be relatives, were the children of Patrick and Mary Tracy of Dublin, Ann Tracey aged 19 and John Tracy, bricklayer, aged 23 who was married to Anne Lachlan of Wicklow. They were bounty immigrants, whose passage was paid by the colonial government, in order to have suitable skilled labour and tradespeople. There are church records from St. Nicholas Parish, Dublin for Arthur’s marriage in 1839 and the baptism of a son William in 1840.

 

In 1853, the Griffith Valuation records show Martin and James Tracy occupying lands and houses in Ballinapierce and Martin has a larger holding of land in nearby Dunanore. From an examination of the land maps, their holdings appear to be on the north bank of the Boro between Ballinapierce Bridge and Victoria Bridge (Soldiers Hole). These are the plots maked 11 and 12 in the middle pink map. According to the land records, Martin gave up his holding in Dunanore around the 1860s. However, there was a Mary Treacy living there in 1878. His holding in Ballinapierce passed to Matthew Tracey around the 1880’s after which it passed out of the family. It appears that James gave up his holding in Ballinapierce for a while around the 1870’s, which seems to be reflected in the church records. In the 1880’s the land was in possession of his representatives, which may be presumed to be his daughters. The lands in Ballinapierce, were first let by the De Burghs and then sub-let by the the Beattys. Perhaps a co-incidence, in 1885 and 1886, the agent for the letting of Ballinapierce House (occupied by Philip Beatty) and approximately 100 acres in Ballinapierce, was Richard H. Tracy of Naas, Kildare (see Kildare). He worked for the De Burgh family in Naas, who also owned the land in Ballinapierce. In 1888, the De Bughs, through their agent Richard H Tracey, were attempting to remove the Beattys.

In 1855 James Treacy was summoned for a joint loan held with the Enniscorthy Loan Society. In 1856, both Mairtin Treacy and James Treacy of Ballinapierce were in court for the non-payment of Poor Rates.

 

At the start of 1860 Mathew Tracey had moved into Enniscorthy town and was apprenticed to Thomas Doyle as a baker, whom he summoned in court for assault and for lack of training. There was also a counter suit which he also lost. Perhaps due to his difficulties with his apprenticeship, he moved to Taghmon and in 1862 he was married to his first wife Catherine Stafford of Bannow and started to have children in Enniscorthy. From birth records, he lived in 12 Hospital Lane in 1867 and moved to Duffry Hill by 1867. In July 1872, he made a contribution to the Galway Vindication Fund. In 1873 he was fined for having a dodgy scales in his shop. 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 1881 he married his second wife Margaret Farrell and started his second family. In Bassett’s Directory of 1885, there is a reference to Mathew Treacy, Baker & Flour Dealer, Market Street, Enniscorthy. There is also a reference to James Treacy, land-owner in Kiltealy to the west of Enniscorthy.

In the valuations 1843 to 1849 Patrick Tracey, a shoemaker, had a house & small yard at 4 Slaney St Enniscorthy, backing onto Market Street. In 1849 his name is crossed out along with the original name of Fanny Williams. The new name is John Pounder? who had a house, house return, bake house Craing, Clilen.

 

In the valuation of 1851, Martin Treacy had a building on his land in Dunnanore.

In the Griffiths Valuation of 1853 the following were recorded:

James and Martin Tracy of Ballynapierce St. Johns, South of Enniscorthy. 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.

Mr. Treacey, was a quiet, unassuming, respectable old resident of the town, possessing intelligence above the average. He remembered something of the ’48 movement, and was acquainted with all that took place in the dark days of ’67. He was father of Michael Treacey, formerly of Wexford. Office and High Mass were held on Monday in the Cathedral. The celebrant was Rev. John Codd C.C. Cathedral: chanters, Rev. Patrick Cummins, C.C., and Rev. John Bultler, C.C., Cathedral.

The site on which she proposed building was in the centre of the village of Ferns where a demolition scheme had carried out. It would be a great asset to the place to have new houses erected on the demolished site as soon as possible. The Secretary stated that Mrs. Kavanagh (formerly Keegan) who had been selected in respect of loan for house proposed to be erected on Gorey Corporation Lands, had withdrawn her application.

The following resolution was adopted on the motion of Mr. 0'Byrne, seconded by Miss O'Ryan:- "Tnat we recommend the County Council to agree, subject to the sanction of the Minister for Local Government and public health to loan of £150 in respect of house to be erected at Ferns Village being granted to Miss Annie Tracey, Ferns." The County SoliCitor submitted letter from Mrs. Kavanagh under date 1st May 1941 stating she bad been Wlable to secure a contractor to bUild for tne amount of loan, so that her application would have to be withdrawn. If things 1mproved she would ask ner application to be reconsidered

RTE 8th February 2009 - Now, We’re (Bin) Thrashin’
How do you get 4 elephants into a mini? No! Not 2 in the back and 2 in the front-use the bintrasher instead. Well, if it can squash the contents of your overflowing wheelie bin, so it no longer resembles a burst mattress, then 4 elephants is no problem. Eamon Treacy, from Klldavin, Wexford is Mr Bintrasher and he tells us how he has produced a simple device to solve one of the western world's most "pressing" problems. Now Eamon has Bintrasher ready to roll, he needs some sound advice, and Ben Dunne, a man who knows a little about business, has offered to share his experience with Eamon.

 Traceys of South Wexford

 

It is unlikely that South Wexford may have been the home of a Norman Tracey family, as there are no Traceys included in the Knights fees for Wexford, Carlow and Kilkenny.  Traceys are referenced in State historical records dating from 1280 to 1366, but there does not seem to be any references after this date. It is likely that the Richard Tracy named was not a Norman, though he is referenced in conjunction with Norman knights. In a trial dealing with him and Joh Ken & Walt Oclee, he seems to state that he is citizen of this country. It is very unusual to have Irish people named in the Norman records. I presume that as Tracy was also a Norman name that they may have been treated as Normans, and I would say that we would have taken advantage of this.

 

The records state that Richard Tracy held 2 carucats 60 acres (approx 300 acres in total) in Leffeth/Le Fech/Fyth and Polryth/Pollrith/Polrych and pays yearly £5.7s.4d. without suit. These references seem to locate them near Old Ross. New Ross was the Norman legal centre. The places named seem to be more similar to The Faythe (An Fhaiche) Tacumshin and Pollwitch Mayglass on the south east side of Wexford. In another record, it seems to state that the places named are in Fyth [Forth] and not Old Ross.

 

In 1332, in the Memoranda rolls of Edward III, there is a reference to Johen Tassi de Villa Otrassi ie John Tassy of the town of Otrassy, which are of Irish origins. The reference refers to the old Wexford barony of Keir, which was a large district to the west of the Slaney, between Enniscorthy and Wexford. With regard to the names stated, the 'de Dene' [ie Dane] were big Norman players in that part of Wexford and are connected with Wilton Castle beside Ballinapierce. Villa Otrassi may have been located in this area. In the Memoranda, there are also references to what might be a William Otresey of Tintern.

 

In 1345, Will Tracy is named as one of the gentry of the county of Wexford summond to attend before the Lord Justice with horse and arms

 

In 1364, at the election of David son of Adam de Rupe [Roche] as Sherriff of Wexford, Ricus Trassy is named as one of the gentry being present.

 

In 1368, Maurice Trassy of Coulratthyn is named in a dispute over land. Coulratthyn [Coolraheen Taghmon], lies between Tracystown East and West.

The ruins of the Norman castle at Tracystown West, built around 1450 AD as part of a series of defensive castles in south Wexford.

Tracystown East (Baile Uí Threasaigh Thior) and Tracystown West (Baile Uí Threasaigh Thiar, 1654 Trassistowne/Trassestowne), located 3 miles south-east and 2 miles west of Taghmon respectively, may have been either Norman or Gaelic settlements. They are located on the boundary of Bargy barony.

 

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”.

 

If Traceystown East is a Gaelic settlement, then Tincurra Church would have been of importance to the Traceys and the Uí Bairrche. It fulfills a number of criteria as an inauguration or óenach/meeting site. 

 

The placename Tincurra (Tincur = marriage portion/settlement) is mostly particular to Wexford and occurs in three locations, in areas with an Uí Bairrche connection.

Wexford Town

 

In a 1713 Quaker record, John Trucy/Trescy is stated as a tithe taker for Carrigg [Carrick] parish.

 

In two leases dated March 1731 and August 1743, John Tresey of Wexford Yeoman is named as a witness. The areas named are located around Wexford town.

 

In July 1764, James Tracy, Ale Draper [alehouse keeper], of Wexford [town] was a witness to a pre-marriage settlement between Christopher Jeffares, of Furzeytown [Tacumshin, Forth], and Mary Berry, of Ballykelly [Killiane, Forth?]. Most of the persons mentioned are located in Forth barony, including the Wheelocks (see Ballyrane).

 

In the Catholic Qualification Rolls, James Tracy, Malster, of Wexford, pleaded on the 2nd April 1779 at Wexford assizes.

 

In a deed of release dated 27 Dec 1779, there is a reference to a cabbin & backside held by Denis Tracy joining the Corporation ground near Johns Gate. This is repeated in a Landed Estates deed of the Representatives of Edward Tighe, dating prior to 1856. The only other reference to a Denis Tracy in Wexford, is as a sponsor in Enniscorthy in 1839.

 

In a deed of release dated 26 April 1785 referencing an earlier deed dated 14 Sep 1763, lists a Elizabeth Tracy widow [Wickham?]. ...Doctor Shalton on the south with John Wakelys house and Williams Quay on the east with the river of Wexford and fronting the fore street westward as also the two thatched cabbins wherin Elizabeth Tracy widow and Patrick Newport shoemaker then dwelt bounded on the north with Doctor Shaftons tenement on the south...

 

In December 1789, Nicholas Tracey, leased a malting building in Wexford town from the Reverend Joseph Miller for 400 years at a yearly rent of £13. The building was beside the St. Mary's Church and the house of Catherine Devereux, widow. Catherine Devereux may have been a relative.

 

4 February 1792 Dublin Evening Post

In the battle for the franchise, both James Tracey and Nicholas Tracey of Wexford Town are listed in a petition of leading catholics of Wexford.

9 January 1839 Wexford Conservative [page]

Wexford Quarter Sessions...It appeared that on Sunday the 26th September 1838, that Donohoe, in going his rounds called to Matthew Treacy's house, rapped at the door at the hour of half-past 9 o'clock of the same evening, and was immediately asmitted; went into the parlor and there found Treacy and mr. P. Whitty sitting together drinking punch, this Donohoe considered a breach of the Act of Partliment, lately made, in which no Publican can sell or allow to be consumed in his house any punch, spirits, ale or wine, beyond the prohibited hour of 8 o'clock on a Sunday evening, under a certain penalty. Treacy was summoned before the Magistrates of petty Sessions, as was Whitty, upon examination it appear that Treacy and Whitty had walked out on the evening of the same day to listen to the band playing, and upon coming home, Treacy had invited his friend Whitty to partake of a glass of punch as a treat; this being sworn to by both, the Magistrates fined him in the mitigated penalty of ten schillings, the fine was paid, but appealed to the sitting Bench and after a tedious and desultory arguement between the Solicitors engaged on both sides, an also the magistrates, the Barrister gave it as his opinion that a legislative body never contemplated, that a publican should be deprived of the rights of hospitality to his friend in his own house, but as it was a question of such vital interest to publicans and the public in general, he would not decide, but would send the case up to the law advisors of the Crown for their ultimate decision.
