  • SHERMAN WELD8 Tttacy
    SHERMAN WELD8 TttACY THE TRACY GENEALOGY Being Some of the Descendants of Stephen Tracy of Plymouth· Colony, 1623 Also Ancestral Sketches and Chart COMPILED BY SHERMAN WELD TRACY The Tuttle Publishing Company, Inc. Rutland, Vermont ConmGBT 1936 BY 8. W. TliCY FOREWORD Since no previous effort appears to have been .made to assemble and to publish a record of the descendants of STEPBEN1 Th.A.CY, the author undertook that task as a me­ morial to that man and to those who followed him-who, each in their own period and place, helped by their toil, suffering and faith to create our government and country, reclaiming it from the wilderness that it might grow to the proud position it now occupies among the nations. Nor was theirs an easy task, for in those first days no man knew when he went to work in the fields but that his return would find his home in ashes and his family either brutally mur­ dered or taken captive; and no woman knew, when her men­ folk went, out to work or her children to play or to search for the live stock, whether they would live to return for the next meal•. The courageous endurance that upheld our fore­ bears is beyond words to describe, for in sickness the herbs of the_ wilderness were their only help; in their homes their own handiwork must provide their only furniture; the sheep and flax they raised must clothe them and the hands of th~ housewife must convert the wool from the sheep's backs to the finished garments.
