Christine - I'm working on McCrackens from PA, then IL, then KS. Here's what I have so far:
William McCracken b PA bef 1805, d ? PA
m. Mary Milliken b PA 1805, d KS 1879
children -
- Samuel Milliken McCracken b PA 1825, d KS 1904
- John McConnell McCracken b PA 1831, d IL 1879
- Martha McCracken b PA abt 1840

Samuel married Rebecca Mary McGregor, b PA 1833, d KS 1907
children-
Anna Mary, b 1858 IL, d KS aft 1920; m G. Benning
Lucinda, b CO 1861, d KS 1873
Martha, b 1864 MO, d OK 1938; m P.S. Wiley
Nancy Jane, b 1867 IA, d ??; m Frank Drake
Clara Mary, b 1871 KS, d 1873 KS
(I've got descendant info for most of these people, I'm descended from Martha McCracken and Percy Wiley)

I don't know if this helps - maybe this may put a few puzzle pieces in place for someone.
