The following record comes from records which were in the possession of Mrs. Edith White.
Edward Tracy came to Missouri before he was married in the year 1860. He bought the farm where he later moved his family, in Laclede County, between Lynchburg and Plato, Missouri, north of what is now highway 32 about one mile. The War Between the States broke out in 1861 and he returned to New York and in 1863 married Weltha Kinney. He was not in the army at any time.
In September 1870 he brought his wife and four children, Edith, Eva, Mary, and Herbert to the farm in Missouri, making the trip by boat from Agdensburg, New York to Chicago, Illinois then by train to St. Louis, MO., and from there by train to Rolla, MO. and from Rolla by horse drawn spring wagon to his brother's place south of Plato. Another son, George, was born in 1873 in Missouri.
A brother, Kingsley Tracy, had previously come to Missouri, married and was living south of Plato, Missouri.
Edward Tracy had sent money to his brother, Kingsley, to prepare a cabin for the family. It consisted of one large log room 18' by 20', no place cut for windows, no chinking between the logs, door way cut but no door hung.
His wife, Weltha, when she knew of her husband's plan to come to Missouri with the family, was much disturbed and went to bed sick for a short time, but like true pioneer women she shared her part in the move.
On arrival of the family he set about to complete the house by chinking in between the logs, cutting a place for a window, hanging a door, and later adding on an addition, until such time he built the house on the hill above (and which is still standing largely as he built it at this date, Jan. 12, 1957.)
It was necessary to send Edith, Eva, and Mary away to school. Edith went to Taylorsville, Illinois at the age of 12, spent one year, then to Massena, New York for two years, then back to Taylorsville, Illinois, then returned back to Missouri. Eva went to New York. She later married there and continued to live there. Mary spent one year in Taylorsville, Illinois, returning to Missouri. Edith and Mary both married in the state of Missouri.
Edward's brother, Daniel Tracy, went to Australia when a young man, stayed twenty years, then returned to Massena, N.Y., married and then settled on the family farm. It was then that Edward came to Missouri.
