May 25, 1861 Cavan Observer

A light-fingered gentleman who gave his name as Patrick Tracy, was brought up, charged on informations with having stolen a half-sovereign and 17s. 6d. in silver, from the person of Bernard Hill. Mr. Tracy, according to his own statement, was a model of innocence, requested the Court to pay particular attention to his case, had cross-examined Hill with the ability of an Old Bailey lawyer; but Hill, though rather simple-looking, succeeded in convincing the Court that, whether accidentally or otherwise, Mr. Tracy had abstracted the cash from his pocket. The Court accordingly sent Mr. Tracy for trial to the Quarter Sessions, despite the solemn protest of that gentleman that it was a great shame to do so.

 

June 29, 1861 Cavan Observer

CAVAN QUARTER SESSIONS

Patarick Tracy was indicted for having at Cavan on the 14th of May, assaulted Bernard HILL, and stolen from his person a cap, value 2s. 6d., a purse value 1s., and containing half a sovereign and 17s. in silver.

The prisoner pleaded not guilty. He was undefended....Bernard HILL was the only witness examined for the prosecution. The particulars of the case were given in our Petty Sessions report at the time the prisoner was committed for trial...The jury found the prisoner guilty.

 

July 6, 1861 Cavan Observer 

Margaret Carmichael and Mary Tracy appeared to answer the complaint of Susan Masterson for having assaulted her, and robbed her of 2s. The Chairman said he could scarcely believe the evidence of his senses; he had seen Susan so often in the character of defendant that he never deemed it possible that she could appear in any other role. This remark elicited only a grim smile from Black-eyed Susan, and a declaration that she had "right good cause to complain.".....She was in the nursery of the Workhouse when Mesdames Carmichael and Tracy laid violent hands upon her, knocked her down, displaced her head-dress, searched her hair, and finally stole her purse, containing six shillings of the current coin....The plunderers ran out to the yard with their booty, leaving her extended on the nursery floor They subsequently gave her back the purse and four shillings, retaining the other two....The two shillings were not found on the persons of the accused, and one of them stoutly asserted that they only found four shillings and threepence--halfpenny in Susan's purse, every penny of which they returned....The Court only dealt with the assault, for which they sentenced Mesdames Carmichael and Tracy to two months' imprisonment each. Susan look as if she would have preferred the restitution of the "tiu" to the incarceration of her assailants...

 

May 17, 1862 Cavan Observer

Dr. Humphrys v. High Tracy

The plaintiff, Dr. Humphrys of Ballyhaise, summoned defendant for refusing to give up a tax cart which had been given to him for repairs some months previously, and which was repeatedly asked for by Dr. Humphrys. The Court allowed defendant three weeks to finish the repairs of the tax cart.

1862 Cavan Observer

Belturbet Petty Sessions Saturday, Nov. 15

Dr. H. G. Humphrys a. Hugh Tracy

This was a summons for refusing to give up a tax-cart left for repair.

Mr. Knipe, who appeared for the defendant, said the magistrates had no jurisdiction, the price of same being over £5.

Mr. Armstrong appeared for Dr. Humphrys.

Hugh Tracy summoned Dr. Humphrys for £3 17s 6d for the repairs of a tax-cart.

Mr. Knipe--This is the tax-cart for which we are summoned for refusing to give up, and we are quite willing to give it any time we are paid for the repairing of it.

Tracy was then sworn, and proved the amount of his claim, at the same time handing a bill of particulars to the court.

Mr. Armstrong stated the case for the defence, as he was instructed, that some time ago Dr. Humphrys bargained with Tracy  for a tax-cart, of a particular description, then named, for a sum of £6. The tax-cart, when finished, Dr. Humphrys said was not what he had bargained for, and Tracy said he would make any changes Dr. Humphrys thought necessary. Dr. Humphrys returned the tax-cart to Tracy to have those changes made, and now to his surprise he asked to pay no less a sum than £3 17s for what he was to have originally received.

Dr. Humphrys was then sworn, and deposed to the facts stated by Mr. Armstrong.

A witness named Monahan, produced on behalf of Tracy, proved distinctly that he heard Dr. Humphrys state to Tracy he would pay him whatever his charge was for doing the repairs.

After a few words from Knipe, The Court said he would adjourn the case for a week; in the meantime the case could be settled. He also stated he would give them some assistance himself to do so.

Both parties stated that they would leave the case to him to settle.

The court then adjourned.

Sowans were also used in the making of bread. The most complete recipe I have for this use of them is from T. Tracey, Cootehill, whose mother made them as follows at the turn of the century in the Mountain Lodge area of Kill, Co. Cavan. "Put a lb. or two of oatmeal in a crock of water and the same quantity of 'seeds'. Put in two boiled potatoes and leave for two or three days, stirring occasionally. It will 'barn' (ferment) and it was used for making bread". Strangely enough she used the word 'flummery' to describe the above mixture, minus potatoes, when eaten raw or boiled. In a neighbouring area treacle was added instead of potatoes.

James M. Tracy, postmaster and merchant, East Smethport, was born in Philadelphia, Penn. , in April 1844, a son of Edward and Bridget (Riley) Tracy, natives of County Cavan, Ireland. They came to Philadelphia from their native land, but, thinking a newer country better adapted to their needs, came to Keating township, McKean county, in 1842, and purchased a tract of land for a farm. They were the parents of seven children, James M. being the third son, who during his youth attended the common schools and worked upon the farm. After his marriage, Mr. Tracy remained upon the farm with his parents until September, 1876, when he came to East Smethport, where he erected the building he now occupies, and engaged in mercantile business. Mr. Tracy married in June, 1863, Miss Ann, daughter of Bernard and Ann (Gallagher) Burns, natives of Ireland, who came to Union City, Erie Co., Penn., in 1845. Five children have blessed this union, viz.: Thomas A., Mary E., Lillie E., Annie E. and Paul E. In July, 1885, Mr. Tracy was appointed postmaster at East Smethport, which office he still retains. In politics Mr. Tracy is a Democrat, and he and his family belong to the Catholic Church.

 

In June, 1873, Andrew Tracy signed the roll of attorneys...Andrew Tracy, a young lawyer of Smethport, was tried in February, 1879, for the murder of his cousin, Miss Mary Reilly, at Smethport. District Attorney S. W. Smith, M. F. Elliott and W. W. Brown represented the State, while C. B. Curtis, A. B. Richmond, George A. Jenks, A. G. Olmsted and N. McSweeney defended. He was found guilty of murder, and, in April, sentenced by Judge Williams to death. The Judge, in passing sentence, said: “The victim was a friend, not an enemy; a relative by blood; a modest and lovely woman, whose only offense was that she had struggled to overcome her affection for you, from a sense of duty toward the church to which she belonged, and toward her parents whom she honored.” Every effort was made to save this unfortunate man, but the board of pardons refusing to interfere with the sentence the law was carried into effect in December, 1879. This tragedy of September 18, 1878, may be said to have broken up one of the most hospitable homes of McKean county.

 

In 1880, Thomas D. Nash came to Smethport, and same year married Miss Mary A. Tracy, a daughter of Edward and Bridget (Riley) Tracy, of Smethport, Penn. In May, 1883, he went to Harrisburg, Penn., under Hon. J. Simpson Africa, in the office of internal affairs, where he remained until May, 1887, when he returned to Smethport, and has here since remained, engaged in mercantile business. Mr. and Mrs. Nash are members of the Catholic Church.

I have an ancestor called William Tracey, who was born around 1831 in Drum Ewen, Ireland. He later married Mary McGuire and had a daughter called Rebecca, born about 1857 in Greenock, Renfrewshire, Scotland. I need to find out where Drum Ewen was or is today. Or would like to hear from anyone researching the above names in that area.

Can't locate "Drum Ewen" but might possibly be "Drumgoon", a parish in the barony of Clonkee, county Cavan.
