This is a work in progress....started by my late father Hubert Samuel McCracken, after retirement  and before he died in 1970.  The information is from the family Bible, relatives, many very  generous people, many by email...too many to list here...Films from Inter Library loan, Public  Archives and the LDS Family History Centre.  I believe I have found the birth place of Hugh  McCracken my gg-grandfather at Kingston Canada,(But not proven) if so his father was Archibald,  who was a Gunner in the Royal Artillery, and died in Quebec, Canada 1796.  Hugh was in the 2nd  flank, 1st Dundas Militia, in the War of 1812- 1813. (Soldiers of the King by Gray). He received a  land grant of 100 acres for this service. His wife was Elizabeth Stata dau. of Philip Stata, UEL &  soldier in the KRRNY. My mothers grand-parents were: John Esson Wilson from Lanark, Scotland &  George Harbourne from Co. Wicklow, Ireland. I am a 5th generation Canadian and have 4 great- grandaughters. Some of this information has not been verified, however I do have sources for most.   Any help in adding or correcting what we have here would be appreciated.    ........................................................
