I am Looking for the parents of William Isaac McCracken bn 23 July 1865 some where in Texas. He died 10 Oct 1922 in Travis County, Texas. The 1870 Texas Census in Harris County Texas, Subdivision 35, Page 498B, lines 24-31, shows a William McCracken Bn. Texas as Grandson to a William White Bn La. His age looks about right to be William Isaac McCracken on page 498A, Lines 27-34, shows a James McCracken and family very close to the White family. The 1880 Harris County Census, Pct 3, Dist 178, Page 184A Lines 33-38 shows William McCracken again listed as a Grandson with James McCracken and family on the same page Lines 45-50 and page 184A Line 1. Notice Wiiliam's father was born in Illinois and James McCracken was born in Illinois. Is there anything at you disposal to prove they are related and that the William is the William Isaac McCracken I am searching for? My William McCracken was born in Texas 23 July 1865 according to his death certificate. The death certificate showed unknown in the parents information blanks, according to the death certificate for Arthur James McCracken, Williams Isaac's son he was married to a Jennie Lee Brown. I have not been able to locate any information on her at all. They were listed in the 1900, Travis County census. I think she died in 1900 and is buried in Oakwood Cemetery in Austin

Bill,
I don't know if this will help you, but there are several McCracken's buried in the White Cemetery at Highlands, TX. A daughter of Reuben White was maried to one of the McCrackens. I'll need to do some research to find the names, but this could be a connection for you. Get back in touch with the info you have...I'll be checking my files.
