The most authoritative reference book for the immigrants Stephen and Tryphosa (Lee) Tracy is:

Robert Charles Anderson, The Great Migration Begins, Immigrants to New England 1620-1633 (Boston, Mass. : New England Historic Genealogical Society, 1995), Volume III, pages 1832-1834.

For later generations, one book found was:

Cuyler Reynolds, Genealogical and family history of southern New York and the Hudson River Valley: a record of the achievements of her people in the making of a commonwealth and the building of a nation, Volume 3 (Lewis Historical Publishing Company, 1914).

I got a kick out of the Eve and Adam Tracy, children of John and Mary (Hawkins) Tracy.  Look at all of the Biblical names in the Simon and Deborah (Tracy) Wade family also. 

Any Tracy cousins?  Any help with the elusive females that married 382. John Tracy and 764. John Tracy?
