Hello,
I am researching the McCracken Family. At the moment I do not have a Calvin in my database. Are there other first names that I might look to see if I have information to tie us together.

My McCracken's landed in Canada came down into Wisconsin and settled in Massachsetts - Lowell and Boston, etc. My direct line moved to Arkansas but he was one of the younger ones. Some of the older children may have settle, well you know - anywhere.

Let me know if I can help.

Mary
