Early McCracken County History McCracken County, located in the extreme western part of the state, was one of the earliest counties of the territory known as Jackson's Purchase. It was established out of part of Hickman County in 1824, and named in honor of Captain Virgil McCracken. McCracken, the 78th county formed in the state, was organized January 17, 1825 and contained 237 square miles. It is bounded on the north by the Ohio River, in the north east by the Tennessee River, which separates it from Livingston County, in the south east by Marshall County for 8 miles, in the south by Graves County for 18 miles, and in the west by Ballard County. Paducah, the county seat, was laid out in 1827 by General Clark, of St. Louis, and named after the celebrated Indian Chief, Paducah, who was buried on the bank of the Tennessee River. It was incorporated as a town on January 11, 1830, and as a city on March 10, 1856. Prepared by: Barbara Whittaker Brown 267 Old Sulphur Spring Rd.

If you copy this page down, please keep my home address with this page or pages. Place of death for Thomas H. Whittaker is listed as Lawrence County, AR. If this mortality index is correct Thomas H. Whittaker had moved to Lawrence County from Randolph County prior to his death. Telemachus Whittaker was living in Black Rock township in Lawrence County on the 1850 census....Thomas H. Whittaker was in Randolph County but one of the Whittaker researchers said, they were living in differ counties, but their farms bordered each other. Maybe Telemachus & Thomas H. moved to the Cashe township at the same time? ... earlier I was thinking Elizabeth moved closer to the family after Thomas H. died.(Barbara Whittaker Brown May 2005)
