He was a Justice for New London County, 1701 to 1711 inclusive. [Col. Rec. Conn. 4-24, 138, 283, 319, 347, 378, 414, 467, 500, 533; 5-21, 94, 145, 170, 219.]

    He was Selectman of Preston in 1698. [ib., 4-274], and served long as the Town Clerk.

    He was an original member of the First Church in Preston in 1698, and with his wife one of the first communicants.

    There does not seem to be a Vital Record to support the birth date of the Jonathan Tracy who married Mary Griswold. Their son, also named Jonathan Tracy, was born 21 Feb 1674/5, and it would appear that someone has attributed the day and month of his birth to his father.
