William GRACEY . Dromore son of Samuel Gracey; married Ellen Cherry 14 Oct 1854 at Unitarian Presbyterian Church CR; EA/CR
So could your Adam Snr ‘s father be Robert Gracey who married Jane Irwin, or William who married Ellen Cherry. so could the Gracie spelling have come about after this irish line some of whom then migratedto Scotland. See my prev research on Gracey Gracie migration on .com
