Would you know anything about this McCracken family? I have a Martha Jane (Jenny) McCracken as the first wife of Isaac Reddin. She was born about 1798 in NC and married Isaac about 1814 in Washington County, TN. Some speculation has been made that her father was Aquilla McCracken, but I have also found a Hugh, William Hugh and a James that may somehow be linked. Any help would be appreciated.

I don't know much about the McCracken family. I have put together the following based on My Mary McCracken Bain and William Bain living in Rutherford County, TN in the early 1800's up to about 1828. It is somewhat speculative: Rutherford County, TN Min. Bk. 6 p274 Inventory of estate of George McCracken: People buying items at the estate sale: Eli McCracken, Jas McCracken, Margaret, and Joseph McCracken. Laura Hitt had a hand written letter dated 4/8/1854 from Joseph and Adoline McCracken (Marion Co., Ark., Yellville) calling John , Daniel and George Bain (Marys Sons) nephews. I speculate based on the above that George McCracken's children were: Eli McCracken b. 1794 NC Jas. McCracken Margaret Joseph McCracken b. ca 1788 Mary McCracken Bain b. 1772 Not great work. Just an educated guess based on census data, letters, people at estate sale and folks known to be in Rutherford County, TN at the same time. Joe K.
