WILL: CRENSHAW, ELKANAH. d. 19 Sep 1771, probated 26 Mar 1772.
Wit.Mary Austen, William Giles & Samuel Bentley. Ex, Wife (no
name given), bro. Charles Crenshaw, friends John Austin &
William Brittain. Leg:
Son David Crenshaw, upper half tract of land I now live on.
Son Anthony Crenshaw, lower half above mentioned tract.
Son William Winston Crenshaw, 200 pounds current money to be
laid out for land by my Ex.Wife (no name given) all my real and
pers. est. for life or widowhood to bring up & educate my
children; should she marry, then she tales a child's part, and
all the rest my Negroes & pers. est. to be equally div. at that
time among all my children or their heirs. Sd. wife to give
either of my children when they become 21 or marry so many
Negroes & other est. as she thinks the est. can afford at that
time. Should my wife marry, the part she takes as a child's
part to be equally div. among all my children or their heirs at
her death.
Elkanah Crenshaw (born circa 1730; died 1771 ) was living in
Amelia County certainly as early as 1754 (in which year his
eldest child, David , was born there). Elkanah Crenshaw lived on
land which most probably he obtained by inheritance as there is
no deed of conveyance in Amelia County to him for the land. His
"home place" is identified by the fact that he bequeathed "the
upper half" thereof to his son, David Crenshaw , and "the lower
half" thereof to his son, Anthony Crenshaw .*
In April, 1800, David Crenshaw sold to Mary Tabb two tracts of
land in Amelia , one of which is described as "containing 200
acres in Amelia County, adjoining said Mary Tabb and Anthony
Crenshaw, Senr. , and Appomattox River , being the tract devised
to the said David Crenshaw by his father Elkanah Crenshaw ."*
In the solution of the question as to how Elkanah Crenshaw
obtained his land in Amelia in all probability lies the answer
to the question as to his father's name. Elkanah Crenshaw 's
"home plantation" in Amelia evidently consisted of 400 acres of
land, as he bequeathed half of this tract his son David and half
to his son Anthony , and David in selling his portion thereof to
Mary Tabb , in 1800, states that it contained 200 acres and that
it was located on Appomattox River . On January 17, 1744 , one
David Crenshaw , of St. Martin's Parish, Hanover County ,
purchased from Abraham Echolls, 400 acres in Amelia County on
south side Appomattox River.* Amelia County records do not show
any reconveyance of this land by David Crenshaw to whom it was
sold. In June, 1788, there was "a division of the personal
estate and negro slaves of Elkanah Crenshaw, deceased, and David
Crenshaw, deceased, agreeable to their last wills and testaments
between the heirs of Elkanah Crenshaw, deceased."* Elkanah
Crenshaw's heirs were legatees under the will of a certain David
Crenshaw .*
These recited facts taken together makes it seem probable that
David Crenshaw, of St. Martin's Parish, Hanover, who purchased
in 1744 the 400 acre tract of land on Appomattox River, Amelia
County, gave that tract of land to Elkanah Crenshaw, and,
furthermore, provided certain personal estate for the children
of Elkanah Crenshaw. Therefore it seems probable that the said
David Crenshaw, of St. Martin's Parish, Hanover County, was
father of Elkanah Crenshaw, of Amelia County. Elkanah Crenshaw
had a brother, Charles Crenshaw, who was named as an executor in
his will; but, of him no further trace has been obtained."

David Crenshaw, his next friend, John Muse and Lucy, his wife,
William Gray and Susannah, his wife, Anthony Crenshaw and
Mildred Crenshaw Pltfs. vs. William Britian, Executor and Mary
Crenshaw , Executrix, of Elkanah Crensha , decd. Defts. This
cause was this day heard upon the Bill and answer and other
exhibits. By consent of the parties. It is considered, declared
and ordered that the Defendant Mary, the executrix, and
Complaintant, David Crenshaw do make up an account on oath of
the administration of the Estate of Elkanah Crenshaw, decd. in
the Bill mentioned and prayed for before Richard Eggleston, Wm.
Bentley, Wm. Giles, Edmund Walker, John Royall and John Archer
or any two or more of them and that the said Richard Eggleston
&c., or any two or more of them do divide the slaves and
personal property and other estate of the said Elkanah Crenshaw,
decd. contained comprized, devised in the general clause, or
clauses of his will and testament and also the negroes devised
by David Crenshaw, decd. as in the Bill mentioned with their
increase and any estate devised by the said David and not
already devised among the complainants according to each ones

Mary at the same time such compensation as she shall require and

Reel MCE-4, microfilm in McComb Library, General: Enlisted in
Nash's Company, which became Company K, 39th MS Infantry, Army
of TN, organized in Magnolia, April, 1862. Was captured at Port
Hudson, LA following the Union siege and paroled. Participated
in the battle of Franklin, TN, Nov 30, 1864 and was mentioned in
official records for reaching the Union parapets with a portion
of his regiment prior to the Union withdrawal.
On May 5, 1876, the Chairman of the Pike Co. Dem. Exec.
Committee issued a call to the Democrats of the county to meet
in a general convention on the 3rd of June 1876. One of the
things that happened at the convention was the passing of a
resolution urging the carious political clubs to keep up a
thorough organization. As a result, the Simmons precinct
Democrat Club was organized on July 19, 1876. Benjamin Franklin
Ellzey was elected president and A. S. Smith as Secretary.
