On February 23, 1737 he went to Wethersfield, Conn. and was on the jury at Hartford,the same year. In 1649 he had removed to Saybrook. In 1645 he and Thomas Leffingwell, with others, relieved Uncas, the sachem of the Mohegans, when he was beseiged, with provisions and Uncas afterwards gave 400 acres of land to both. This led to the grant of the town of Norwich in 1659. He removed to Norwich in 1660 and was one of the proprietors of the town. In 1662 he was appointed one of the Court of Commission in 1666 ensign. He served many years as deputy of the general court. In 1673 he was lieutenant of the New London County Dragoons, the forces raised to go against the Dutch and Indians. In 1674 he was commissary or quartermaster to the Dragoons, and in 1678, Justice. In King Philip's war in 1675, he and John Bradford were appointed Commissary and Quartermaster. He owned much real estate, more tha n 5000 acres. (For a complete history of Lt. Thomas Tracy see A.M.Caulkins', History of Norwich, Connecticut). Thomas Tracy married Mary Mason (widow of Edward Mason) in 1641 in Wethersfield, Connecticut. This was Mary's second marriage. Her first marriage was to Edward Mason abt. 1632. Mary is thought to be the daughter of Sir John Conway and Catherine Verney. There is also a theory that Mary is Mary Lock. In either case, she is the widow of Edward Mason.
