Sue
Sue was living in Staunton and was about 70 years old in 1827, born c. 1757. Sue was appraised and declared as having no monetary value in December, 1827 following the death of Margaret Cunningham Reed. Sue, Robert/Bob Napper, and Nancy Napper were devised by Reed’s will to her niece, Margaret Cunningham (Burns) Gambill, daughter of Margaret Reed’s sister, Isabella (Cunningham) Burns and Robert Burns, and wife of Henry Gambill. They lived in Rockingham County, Virginia. In a memorandum separate from her will, Margaret Reed directed her executors to distribute specific articles of clothing, household items, furniture, and other possessions to her family and friends and to five enslaved females. Sue received clothing.
