General Notes: Husband - Bruce Tracy


His great-grandfather was Colonel Gattis, who was a soldier in the Revolutionary War; he married a Miss Bruce.

He was reared in Wayne County, Ohio, where he partly learned carpentering. He came to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in March, 1827, and completed his trade, which he followed there till 1839, when he came to Sewickley, where he followed carpentering, and built many dwellings. He could be called the grandfather of carpenters at Sewickley, as he apprenticed and trained many of the carpenters in that place. Later he was engaged in the lumber business. Mr. Tracy was an abolitionist, and then a prohibitionist. He cast his first vote for Gen. Jackson, and also voted for Gen. Harrison. In Sewickley he was a member of the town council. [HAC 1889 ii, 523]

He spent his youthful years in Wayne County, Ohio, where he partially learned the trade of carpenter. He came to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in March, 1827, and there finished learning this trade, which he followed until he came to Sewickley in 1839. He affiliated with the Prohibition party and was a member of the common council of Sewickley.
He and his family were members of the Methodist Episcopal Church.
