5. Susannah Crume, born 10 July 175444, probably at Crooked Creek, Frederick County, Virginia; died 14 July 1829 (or 28 August 1830?) in Nelson County, Kentucky. She was married, on 26 July 1773 or 26 July 1776 in Shenandoah County, Virginia, to Eleazer Birkhead.45 He was born about 1750 in Anne Arundel County, Maryland, possibly as a son of Abraham and Sarah Birckhead,46 and died 23 February 1828 in Nelson County, Kentucky.47 On the Nelson County tithables list for 1790 appears an Ebenezer Burkhead with two slaves, James and Jerry. The 1791 list shows Eliezer Birkhead, again with two slaves, James and Jerry, in east-central Nelson County. Maybe the name Ebenezer in 1790 should have been recorded as Eleazer. Susannah’s father Philip sold 72 acres in Nelson County to Eleazer “Birket” on 10 September 1797 for one shilling.48 In his will, dated 9 January 1828, Eleazer left all his horses, cattle, tools and household and kitchen furniture to his wife, except for fifty acres to his son Abraham.49 A bill of sale dated 23 May 1839 lists 95 items in his estate which sold for a total of $276.24¼.50 The most valuable was a bay mare, $49.75. Next were the two “servants,” James and Jerry, $40 each. Three items went for just 6¼ cents each: a saddle, a cider barrel and a “lot of Broken castings.” Altogether, the livestock included three horses, four cows, five sheep, seven hogs and two mother sows. The proceeds were used to pay various debts, including $20 for a coffin and $1.87½ “for Burying clothes.”
