James McCracken (the father) had a land warrant issued on 22 September 1766 for 300 acres located on the south side of the Broad River, in what was then believed to be in Mecklenburg County, NC. Years later this land was proven to be in Union County, SC. James McCracken survey for this 300 acre land grant tract was completed on 10 January 1768 for this land on the south side of Broad River in South Carolina.
During the American Revolutionary War James married Mary Smith on 22 Jan 1779 at Abbeville. Their first born child John was born in November 1779.

Here, in what is now Madison Co., Alabama, five more children were added to the family. James is listed on the 1810, 1811 and 1816 Tax Rolls of Madison Co., Alabama.
After relocating to the Mississippi Territories, he took part in the Florida Expedition and in an expedition against the Creek Indians.
