James McCracken - Head of household, 1790 U.S. Census: From the will of 
Sarah McMurry dated 27 Jan 1785, James McCracken is listed as her son, 
along with his sisters, Eleanor Buchanan and Ann McClure [daughter of 
John McClure], and three brothers, James McCracken, William McCracken 
and John Hannah. Witnesses were Joseph Kerr and John Todd. On 4 Dec 
1771, a deed shows Hugh McCracken and John Anderson as adjacent 
landowners to Matthew Russel(l) on the south branch of Long Creek; and, 
on 5 Feb 1777, a Joseph McCane buys 130 acres on the south side of Long 
Creek, adjacent to John Anderson, John Kennedy and Hugh McCracken.
