Samuel Tracy
Samuel
Tracy lived in Culpeper County, Virginia before coming to Kentucky, although,
his birth place and date have not been documented at this time. And, his
parentage is in question.
Although
not documented, it is believed Samuel may have been a brother to George Tracy,
Sr., who died in Garrard County, Kentucky and whose children migrated to
Franklin County.
There
are strong connections with the Parrent family of the Bridgeport area of
Franklin County in both the family of George Tracy, Sr. and Samuel Tracy.
Shortly after coming to Kentucky,
Samuel
purchased land on the Salt River, then a part of Anderson County, Kentucky.
The maiden name of Samuel's wife has not been documented. However, in 1803
she is referred to as
Ann
Tracy and listed as a charter member of the Salt River Church. Samuel later
sold his land in Anderson County and his wife, Ann, was listed on the deed
as Nancy. On December 14, 1785,
in Culpeper
County, Virginia a Samuel Trascey was witness to the will of Ann White of
Culpepper County. It is very probable Ann White is the mother of Nancy
"Ann" and the mother-in-law of
Samuel
Tracy.
Samuel
Tracy died in Franklin County, Kentucky about 1805. He left a
will dated
February 20, 1804 and filed for probate on June 17, 1805 in Franklin County
court. He named, son John Tracy
and
daughter, Polly Faught. Also named were, Betsy Parrent, James Tracy and Peggy
Tracy, however, no relationship was stated. Samuel did not name any bequest
for a wife. Children of
Samuel
Tracy and his wife Nancy "Ann" are believe to be: John Tracy, who married
Catherine Faught in Shelby County, Kentucky, December 8, 1800; Mary "Polly"
Tracy, married Leonard
Faught
on June 29, 1801; Elizabeth "Betsy" Tracy, who married in Franklin County
on January 24, 1798 to John Parrent; James Tracy (died about 1810); Margaret
"Peggy", married Thomas
Parrent
on December 20, 1806 in Franklin County and William Tracy, not mentioned
in the will. A William Tracy died about 1804 in Franklin County and
may have preceded his father in death,
therefore
not mentioned in Samuel's will.
