The Traceys of Laois can trace their history back to the beginning of
historical records, as Laois formed part of the territory of the Uí Bairrche.

1791 Parish of Rathdowney
The first chapel of Grogan was thrown down and another built on its
foundations, in 1791 by Father Purcell, P.P. The present chapel, the third on
the same site, was built by Father Tracey PP., in 1826, around and over its
predecessor, which was only taken down when the new edifice had been roofed in.
Father Tracey rests here, at the intersection of the nave and north transept,
but there is no monument marking his grave. Father William Butler, his
predecessor, rests here also, it is said, before the high altar, as one steps
from the sanctuary into the nave. A chalice belonging to this chapel has the
inscription: - "Collected in Grogan for the use of the parish by the Rev.
W. Tracey, 1799."
Very Rev. William Tracey was born at Marymount, parish of Camross, and
received at least part of his education in France, where he narrowly escaped
the guillotine at the time of the Revolution. He was ordained by Dr. Lanigan
about 1796, after which he was C.C. Rathdowney till 1799. His next Curacy was
Muckalee, whence he was promoted to the pastorship of Rathdowney in 1802. He
became Treasurer of the Diocesan Chapter in 1837. Having governed this parish
37 years, he died at his house in Barrachill, Oct. 7th, 1839 at the age of 68,
and is buried in Grogan chapel. Two of his nephews were respected priests of
Kildare and Leighlin Diocese, viz., Rev. William Tracey, P.P. Kilcock, and Rev.
Felix Tracey, P.P. Ballyna.
