Hi there,
I've come across one of your Tracy's whom I believe is "missing" from
your website. First found him on an 1880 Census in Rice, Texas then located his
death certificate - both are attached. He would have been the first son of
William and Margaret but is not mentioned.
Since he isn't mentioned I guess there's little point asking whether you
have any further information about him (but will anyway, just in case)! An
American University Professor and one of my cousins are both writing books
about James Douglas Ogilby, who lodged with John Tracy in Rice for 18
months or so and researched the birds of Navarro. We were curious as to the
link between them. JDO's father and grandfather were High Sheriffs and
Lords Lieutenant of County Tyrone so we assume they and John's father William
became acquainted on the Irish legal circuit. At any rate, I found your website
most helpful in establishing this. Thanks!
Kind regards,
Kerrie Binnington 12

We are
gratified to learn that it is proposed to present a public testimonial to Mr.
W.S. Tracy, on the occasion of his removal from Belfast, as a mark of the high
sense entertained by the community for that gentleman's character as a
magistrate, and his services as a citizen. Northern Whig.

November 1862 Masonic Banquet and Testimonial
to Wm. S. Tracy, Esq
On Tuesday
evening, a grand Masonic banquet and testimonial to the R W D P G , master of
Belfast and North Down, Wm S Tracy, P G R C, K H, on his removal from Belfast, where
he has sat for fourteen years discharged the onerous and important duties of
Resident Magistrate with exempiary zeal, ability and imparliality, took place
in the Ulster Hall. This public mark of respect was confined exclusively to the
members of the Masonic Order, in which Mr Tracy has long held very high rank
and office, and was kept quite distinct from the other banquet which the
gentlemen of the town generally are about to give him tomorrow evening. When
the brethern had all assembled, Brother Samuel Gibson Getty, M P, the Past D P
G M of Belfast and North Down, addressing Mr Tracy, said he regretted that, in
consequence of the non-complation of the plate by the goldsmith, they were
unable to present it on that occasion, but it would shortly be ready, and would
be presented in due course. Brother Getty then read the address. Brother Tracy
said that he had prepared a reply but, as he was labouring under a very serious
affection of the chest, caused by his having caught cold, he really could not
read it at that moment. If they would permit him, he would ask Mr Lanyon to
read his reply. Brother Charles Lanyon (Mayor of Belfast) then read the reply,
the conclusion of which was the signal for loud applause. Immediately after the
reading of the address and reply, the brethern proceeded to the minor hall,
where the banquet had been laid out. The interior of the hall was beautifully
decorated with garlands of flowers and with Masonic banners, symbols, &c,
the full meaning of which was known only to the members of the order. Covers
were laid for about 150. The chair was occupied by Brother S G Getty, MP. -
