There were apparently at least two McCRACKEN families in Hendricks County ca. 1840. My ancestors ISAAC and SUSAN HAMILTON McCRACKEN also lived there at the same time. They were both born in Fleminmg County,Ky. and later moved to Davis County,Iowa. I wonder if there could be a connection? Thanks,Clyde

I do cemetery restoration and am doing a project with my 8th grade students. They are hopelessly stuck on finding more information about a George M. McCracken buried in Spring Friends Cemetery in Hendricks County, IN. Born 8-13-1841, died 12-28-1863. His parents were Thomas and Jane (Mendenhall) McCracken, who died before he came to Indiana. We are pretty sure that he came from Guilford or Stokes county NC to Indiana shortly before his death. He is mentioned in the Mill Creek Monthly minutes, so was associated with the Friends.
We'd like to know more about him to put an identity to a stone.
Any help would be great!
