Hello family! I am the greatgranddaughter of Frank
McCracken and Mary
Reid. I am so glad I found someone who has some information.
My G-grandfather Frank was born in Abingdon,Va. in 1848. Married Mary
Reid, had all the children you mentioned, but you left out my grandmother Ella who was born in 1894.
Frank and
Fulton went to Neb. to work on the railroad and later sent for the whole family and lived and died in
Kennard.
There house is still standing. I live in W.V. now, but my aunt and brother visited
Kennard 2 years ago and found their home.
We were not sure if our GG-grandfather's name was Hugh, or not. Have been searching for Frank's ancestry. Please let me know how far back you have been able to go.
We used to visit Sarah and Dervy frequently. Grandma Ella married Walter
Nielsen. My mom was Dorothy
Nielsen Decker. Grandma and grandpa lived in Omaha and that is where I was born.
This is so exciting!
I have a cousin in
Colo. Jerry
McCracken. He was John's son. Have lost touch with them, but intend to phone them later. We were both searching for more family history.
Please email me soon.
Thanks,
Donna
