Samantha Ann Foster (Bale) McCracken was the granddaughter of Sophia (Auble) (Foster) Hulse (1805-1887), the sister of my 2nd great-grandfather, David Auble (1817-1894). She is my second cousin twice removed.
My thanks to Michelle Tucker Chubenko for finding this record for me at the New Jersey State Archives.

Randy,
I just checked my Blairstown Cemetery photos. Sorry, don't have the names listed in your blog post, but do have a number of McCrackens buried there.
What was interesting in your blog post was the name Sarah Hopler. I was in another cemetery just this morning looking for Hopler and know where they are buried. Didn't see Audle this time, but did see a Hulse.
Like your Newton ancestors, the McCracken's are all over the place.
