                       This individual has the following other parents in the Ancestral File:
    William /TRACY/ (AFN:1P3N-6K) and Anne /SHAKERLY/ (AFN:29KZ-CB)

    Jonathan was age 50 in 1698 and Solomon was age 46 in 1697.
    Norwich was created in 1659 and Middlesex was created in 1785.
    John and Thomas could have been born in Westerfield and other children were
    probably born in Saybrook.  Lt. Thomas Tracy was one of the original settlers
    in Saybrook  and one of the original settlers in Norwich.

    Lt. Thomas Tracy came to New England in April 1636 and was enrolled at Salem,
    Feb 23, 1637.  He settled in Wethersfield in about 1640. He was not married to
    the widow of Edward Mason (probably the son of John Mason who was one of the
    original founders on Norwich).  This can be proven by looking at the records in
    Wethersfield Connecticut.  The Widow Mason, wife of Edward Mason, died in 1659
    and in the disposition of her property she was called the Widow Mason.  This
    proves that she did not remarry after his death.  They lived in Saybrook for 12
    to 14 years. Thomas moved to Norwich with six sons and one daughter.  It is not
    known if his wife was living when he moved to Norwich.  The second wife of Lt.
    Thomas Tracy was Martha, widow of John Bradford (married in 1676) and his third
    wife was Mary, daughter of Nathaniel and Elizabeth Foote of Wethersfield and
    widow of John Stoddard (he died in 1664) and also widow of John Goodrich of
    Wethersfield (he died in 1680).

Notes:
                       A rough headstone in Preston with the letters J.T. and date 1711 is susposed
    to point out the grave of Jonathan Tracy (born 1646).  A Jonathan Tracy died 25
    Feb 1704 in Preston.  It was thought that this Jonathan Tracy was the son of
    Jonathan Tracy born in 1646.  However, upon careful research and analysis of
    the records, it becomes evident that the Jonathan Tracy who died on 25 Feb 1704
    was the first Jonathan.  The evidence that supports this is the marriages and
    deaths of the wives of the two Jonathan's.  Jonathan Tracy (the first) married
    Mary Griswold on 11 July 1672.  Mary Griswold died 24 Apr 1711 (found in vital
    record of Preston vol 1 page 13).  Jonathan Tracy (the second) married Anna
    Palmer on 11 Feb 1700 (found in vital record of Preston vol l page 31).  Anna
    Palmer Tracy died before 1711.  Jonathan Tracy (the second) then married Mary
    Richards 21 Aug 1711.  Jonathan Tracy (the second) then died sometime between
    the marriage date and the end of the year in 1711.  His widow, Mary Richards
    Tracy, then married Eleaser Jewitt on 3 Sep 1717 as found in Norwich vital
    records vol 1 page 56.

    Preston, New London, Connecticut vital records Vol 1.
    Preston was created from Norwich and Middlesex County was created in 1785 from
    New London, Hartford, and New Haven counties.

    Jonathan Tracy (the first) was the first town clerk, the first lieutenant, and
    the first justice of the peace of the town of Preston, New London Connecticut.
