George Carpenter

( - )



Apparently George Jr:
Virginia Court Records, in March 1782, George was awarded £5 5s for ‘one gun, shot, poutch and powder horn lost in the year ‘81 in the Battle at Jamestown Ford.’

George II, who remained in Virginia, and who undoubtedly inherited his father’s lands there under the primogeniture laws, had two sons: John and Jacob, the ones mentioned in John Carpenter’s will. John stayed in Virginia probably because of those same primogeniture laws, but his brother Jacob came to Kentucky and on Sept. 9, 1800, he married none other than Leah Frye, the first-born child of Catherine Spears Frye Carpenter and step-daughter of Adam Carpenter.
