DNA matches that have Henry McCracken or his family in their tree include matches through:
- Henry’s son Charles H, who Henry had with his wife Lavina
- Henry’s son Jay Harvey, who Hnery had with his wife Fanny (multiple matches)
- Henry’s son Albertie, who Henry had with his wife Fanny (multiple matches)
- Henry’s son Roy H., who Henry had with his wife Fanny
There are other matches that appear to be connected to this family, but the relationships have not yet been determined.
It is important to note that there are DNA matches that tie this family to the descendants of James McCracken. It seems likely that Henry and Lemuel both somehow descend from/are related to that family.
