My GGGGrandfather...Alexander McCracken
had a son named Arthur, born 9 Feb. 1804 in PA.

He moved to Mississippi where he married Mary Ann Brown Feb 22, 1836 in Madison County.
After the War he moved to Texas and died in Houston on April 1, 1885 (I have the death record).
There were 4 children - 2 girls who died as children in Mississippi, and 2 sons both of who moved to Houston.

Carmen,
I don't know if you and my husband are from the same McCrackens but there are a couple of Alexanders in his family.
1.Alexander McCracken, b. 3-4-1782; d. 10-4-1859; m. Lavinah, b. 11-12-1799; d. 5-9-1862.Their children were:
John,Joseph, Alexander, this Alexander was born 1841 and Married Ellen Phillips, Sara,Hannah,Abraham, and another that I couldn't make out his name.
The next Alexander was a son of David and Mary McCracken but I have to see if I can find out when he was born.I think I have it but things are mixed up right now.Let me know if this helps you.

Carmen,
We are also looking for McCracken info. Alexander, who was born in Ireland around 1835 and was married to Mary Nevens, (spelling may be off,) who was born in Scotland. They would have been married around 1850's Their son's were Hugh N., born 2-9-1857, and Alex, (date of birth not known).
Alexander may have been a preacher in Covington, Pa. Have you found any info on this side of the family?

Sorry but that is a different Alexander McCracken. The more research I do the more I am finding out there are a lot of Alexander McCracken's. My Alexander was born in Ireland in 1746. If I run across any info I will make sure I send you a note.

I am looking for the parents of my GGGrandmother Catherine McCracken, born about 1807. She married James Twigg from Oldtown MD. She grew up in Hampshire Co. VA (now WVa), just across the Potomac River from Oldtown. I know a William McCracken had a large farm there and a large family of mostly boys named William Jr., Ovid, Cyrus, Isaac, Virgil, and Seneca. Some of them moved to KY and IL. I'd like to know more about the 7 brothers and when they came to America. I've always thought William came from PA. The three states are very close together in this area.

Your Arthur has the same dates as what is written in the McCracken Family Bible. Arthur was one of fourteen children born to Alexander and Margaret (Marshall) McCracken. There is a group of us putting together a website which includes correspondence between Alexander and Margaret's children in the 1800's regarding an estate in Ireland of Margaret's father, Henry Marshall. Please look at www.mccracken-marshall.buriedsecrets.com .

I'm looking for info on an Isaac McCracken B 1848 Pa. he was my gggrandfather . Any info would be greatly appreciated.
