The only name I can find anything on is a James McCracken, who was a pvt on
the roll of Capt Wm Steele's Co, in Sept of 1814. There are other
McCrackens in the county, but nothing to indicate other ties.
I checked the will CD and there are no mentions, in any area counties,
of the name Thomas Bell. The following are those with the name John Jordan

(I"m not sure what post you're referring to....did you mean Sandra rather

wills.....is that right?)
