I just received the message this morning. Therein is the 4th different TRACY that researchers have concluded was the father of Lt Thomas TRACY, b abt 1610 in Tewkesbury, England. I would appreciate any comments. Who was Gov William TRACY? Governor of what and when? Hope all are having a Merry Christmas! Thanks.
