Beard, McCrackin

Rhonda,
You show a John Ferrell McCrackin.Do you know whether 'Ferrell' is a family surname?I have a female Spencer cousin whose given name was Ferrell, and I am looking for connections.They lived in Union County, MS.

Also my mother had an 'Uncle Crack', whose real name was Wiley Wells, married to Anna Swain.The nickname probably comes from his grandmother Lucinda McCrackin who married Levi Wells.All in northern Mississippi.Does this ring a bell?
