I believe the
McCracken family was related by marriage to the
Williams family who also migrated to
Polk Co, MO. Elijah
Williams, baptist preacher, had a brother Thomas who died in
Lincoln Co, TN. His 7 minor children and his estate were handled by Thomas C. McCracken. Thomas was married to Mary
Williams, most likely sister to
Elijah Williams. I am a direct descendent of Elijah's sister, Nancy
Williams, who married John M. Harper.All these folks were in
Lincoln, TN before MO. The Harpers lived in St. Clair and
Hickory, MO.
Do you have anything on a relationship between the
McCrackens and the
Williams of
Polk Co?
