In all accounts for about forty five years of Lieut. Thomas Tracy of Norwich, Conn., the progenitor in America of a large family, it is positively asserted that his first wife was Mary, the widow of Edward Mason, whom he married in Wethersfield, Conn., in 1640 or 41. The statement has been so long unquestioned and accepted as a fact by all writers about the Tracy family that it will be necessary to convince people of the falsity of the account by quoting the authorities in detail which show that Mary Mason lived and died in Wethersfleld as the Widow Mason.

I love mysteries like this one? did they, were they, could they? Also, I know how easily these stories get started, and it takes years to untangle. Hope I hear the ending, but not going to hold my breath.
No, don't hold your breath on this one!
