N. N. de Tracy (Called Eva in Devon & Cornwall N & Q xix 194-201 but this is perhaps an error for her niece, Eva or Emma de Tracy, who mar. Warin de Bassingbourne); m. say 1165, Gervase de Courtenay who was probably related to Reginald de Courtenay (138-25) as both families gave grants to Tor Abbey and Ford Abbey (the latter abbey having the Courtenay as its chief patron). Gervase de Courtenay and his wife had two identifiable children, Hugh de Courtenay (who had control of his uncle Sir William de Tracy's barony of Bradninch, Devon in the latter part of the 1190s) and William de Tracy (living 1198-1199). This 2nd son William de Tracy is perhaps identical with the William de Tracy who was holding the manor of Bradford Tracy, (East) Preweye and Ivedon, Devon, in 1242/43. Besides these two sons there may have been a third son, Oliver (No. 28 below), but the evidence does not prove or disprove it.
