Dear Doug ~

I double checked my files. The Selden Society volume I cited in my
last post is the correct citation for the suit which names Master
Oliver de Tracy as the son of Henry de Tracy. Unfortunately, my
records don't show a page reference, but the book is fully indexed and
the suit should be easy to find.

Perhaps either you or Mark can find a copy of the book at your local
law library. The online catalogue of the law library of Arizona State
University in Tempe, Arizona shows they own a copy of the book. That
is the library where I consulted the book. The book is surely
available elsewhere. Also, you should be able to obtain the book on
inter-library loan at your local library.

Best always, Douglas Richardson, Salt Lake City, Utah
