Mary Ann McCracken (8 July 1770 – 26 July 1866) was a Belfast social reformer. ==Early life==
McCracken was born in Belfast on 8 July 1770. Her father was Captain John McCracken, a prominent shipowner; her mother Ann Joy came from another wealthy family which made its money in the linen trade and founded the Belfast News Letter. Mary Ann's liberal and far-sighted parents sent her to David Manson's progressive co-educational school, where 'young ladies' received the same education as the boys; Mary Ann excelled at mathematics.〔(Mary Ann McCracken, Social Reformer )〕 She was the sister of the Irish rebel Henry Joy McCracken, who was executed in Belfast following his role in the Battle of Antrim in June 1798. After the death of her brother, whose body she had doctors attempt (unsuccessfully) to resuscitate, Mary Ann took over the care of his illegitimate daughter, Maria. After Henry's execution in 1798, she and her sister Margaret opened a muslin manufacturing business at 27 Waring Street, Belfast. She lived with Maria and her family until her death on 26 July 1866 at the age of 96 years. She is buried in grave number 35 at Clifton Street Cemetery.
