Judging from their first names, my guess is that Isaac and Abraham (or their ancestors) may have been from Frederick County, MD, not from PA. Abraham Crum (1709-1787) and his brother Gilbert Crum (1700-1762) moved from NJ to MD by 1754. (They had a brother Isaac who died in NJ.) Abraham had a son, William (1741-1810), who had at least 4 sons, John (1777- ), Isaac (1779-1823), William Jr. (d. 1810), and Abraham (1771-1796). Could any of these have been the father or grandfather of your Isaac? Also, Gilbert had 6 sons, two of whom, Gilbert and Abraham, apparently moved to Bedford County, VA before 1790. I don't know where Bedford County is relative to Franklin County. Isaac, William, Abraham, Cornelius, and John were common names in this Crum family. These Crums can be traced back through NJ and NY to the Netherlands; they weren't Scotch-Irish, or German (as my family thought), or English. I don't know why no one wants to be of Dutch descent, but it seems that a lot of Crums assumed the nationality of the families they married into.
