  Thomas Tracy was a son of Sir Paul Tracy, Bart., of Stanway, County of Glouster, England.  He was born in the year 1610 on the Tewksbury estates, probably at the manor of Stanway.
  ...In 1636, Thomas Tracy joined a band of emigrants and sailed for America.  In this act he was probably influenced by the fact that he was a younger son in a very large family and without prospects of inheritance.  In April of the same year he arrived at Salem, MA  where he resided until the following Fabruary, when he removed to Wethersfield, CT.  There he married in 1641, Mary, the widow of Edward Mason, and then removed to Saybrook.  Seven children were born there.  About 1659 his wife died.  He subsequently married two other wives, but had nno issue by either.  In 1645 he and Thomas Leffingwell, with other, relieved Uncas, the Sachem of Mohegan, with provisions when he was besieged at Shattuck's Point by Pessachys, Sachem of the Narragansetts, which led to the subsequent grant of the town of Norwich in 1659.  He and his familymoved to Norwich in 1660, of which he was one of the proprietors,  In 1661 he was on a committee, appointed by the General Court, "to try the bounds of New London"; in 1662 he was chosen ensign in the first Train Band of Norwich; in 1667,70,71,2,3,5 6 and 8 he was the deputy from Norwich to the Legislature, and in 1682, 83 and 85 from Preston.  He sat as a member of the colonial Addembly at more than twenty sessions.  In 1673 he was commissioned lieutenant of the New London County Dragoons, raised to fight the Dutch and Indians.  In 1678 he was appointed a justice.  He died at Norwich, 11-7-1685 in the 76th year of his age.
