My grandmother was Lillian McGown and Charles was her grandfather.Mary Traceys' father was Jonathan Tracey married Freelove Miller who was from Sutton Quebec. I believe this is a well published family and I believe her father was Thaddeus Miller married to Polly Aiken in Sutton in 1838. So the reason they married in Sutton is because Miller family was quite large. My mother had always said we were related to the Browns so now I know why Carollee MK <pilgrimkin@yahoo.com> wrote: Pam wrote: "There was a Mary Ann Tracey of Sheldon, VT who married Charles Hamilton McGowan, of Sheldon, VT, 25 May 1876 at Sutton Methodist. Maybe relatives were listed on the record? You still have a day or so to check those records on Ancestry before they go to paid subscriber only. " If both were of Sheldon, don't know why they married in Sutton unless family might have been there, most likely someone in her family. I assume when you checked VT records, you checked the master index for Tracey/Tracy (easier than Brown), and not just West Enosburg records? REPLY: I will see if I can find Mary Ann Tracey's marriage record. I don't live in or near Vermont. The Vermont records were searched for me (I paid them to look for Lucinda's birth). Also, someone volunteered to check the LDS film for Sheldon, VT for me and could not find the marriage. Guess I can write to Public Records and see if they can locate their marriage. I would like to figure out what Canadian towns are just across the boarder from Sheldon, Enosburg, area. With the free access to the Drouin records I was hoping to find something.

Jonathan Tracy was brother to my g, g, grandfather, William H. Tracy. I think William was the youngest of 14 children of Daniel Tracy and Hannah Burgess. Daniel was married the 1st time to a Lois Hurlburt. After Lois died he married Hannah Burgess of Charlotte, Vermont. I am also related to the Miller's via Sarah Miller. Sarah Miller m. Solomon Brock (they are my ancestors). Solomon and Sarah's son, William E. Brock m. Emma/Emily Carrow (also seen as Corrow and Caron). Willam and Emma Brock's son, Merl Brock, was my grandfather. Sarah Miller was a triplet. Her mother died in child birth. Her half sisters, Freelove and Melvina Miller, married brothers, Chester Percy Tracy and Jonathan Tracy. All were daughters of Thaddeus Miller, of Glen Sutton, Quebec. Thaddeus married 3 times. I have a copy of Chester and Melvina's marriage record (photocopy of the town book page where their marriage is recorded) of their marriage at Troy, Vermont. You and I would be distant cousins, and actually from two lines. I also have a cousin, Sally, who is a descendant of Jonathan Tracy via his daughter, Emma Tracy that married Joel McNall. She lives in Maine. There is a story about one of Jonathan's daughters (Henrietta-?) taking in a child that wasn't hers and raising him as her own. He only found out about her not being his mother after her death, by what was said in her will/estate. I have William Tracy's obituary. It lists his brother, Jonathan, who I think came to the funeral (have to dig it out and see). William died 29 April 1908, at Johnson, Vermont. He is buried there, in Johnson, in the family plot. I have a family photo of William, Lucinda, and their 7 children. There is one woman sitting next to Lucinda that my family cannot identify who she is. I thought maybe she might be a sister to Lucinda--but who knows. We do not have any information on Lucinda's family (Brown) to know if she had siblings, where her parents lived, died, buried, etc. I have my great grandmother Carrie (Tracy) Smalley's DAR papers. The patriot ancestor is John Adams of Medway, Mass. This is the same line of Adams that connects to the president, John Adams, via the common ancestory, Henry Adams. This is via Matilda Adams, mother of Daniel Tracy. I won't keep rambling on....I have done a lot of research on these branches. Interesting...... --------------------------------- Don't be flakey.
