THE TRACY GENEALOGY Being Some of the Descendants of Stephen Tracy of Plymouth Colony, 1623, Sherman Weld Tracy, 1936
STEPHEN TRACY, a resident of Great Yarmouth, county Norfolk, England, was married at that place on 23 February 1586-87 to AGNES ERDLEYwho outlived her husband ten years and died there on 15 June 1640. STEPHEN was a mariner and in 1606 was admitted to the freedom of Yarmouth “gratis” by Bailiff Crowe. This was a courtesy allowed to only one person each year by each bailiff and may imply that he was not a native and would otherwise have had to purchase the freedom. He may have reimbursed the bailiff in some manner. STEPHEN died at Great Yarmouth on 22 December 1630 leaving a will which reads as follows:
