Thanks for your answers to my letter about these families. I will give the 1850 Cannon Co, TN census entry as I copied it. I have one question I have asked in the past, but nobody has been able to anwer: Where did the Algencia come from? I have her on the 1860, 60, and 70 censuses, and she is always liste as Jane. Also in the book, The Maxeys of Virginia, she is given as Jane(Jincy) Maxey. I have seen no original sources that say Algencie or Algencia. 1850 Census of Cannon co, TN, Nichols post office, 1st District Elam McCrackin age 48 m b N.Carolina Jane " 47 f Virginia Wm (?)
