John Frye, the second-born child of Catherine, married Sally McKinney on Jan. 31, 1803 in Lincoln County. Both John and his sister Leah produced very large families, and they began to have their children even before Adam and Catherine had finished having theirs. Leah and Jacob’s first child, John Carpenter, was born on March 21, 1803, in Kentucky. John and Sally Frye’s first child, Thomas, was born on Jan. 20, 1805.

When John and Leah Frye’s grandfather died in Virginia, John and Leah received bequests, and Catherine Carpenter signed an affidavit swearing that John and Leah were the legitimate children of their father, John, who was killed at Blue Licks. John Frye Jr. gave power of attorney to one of the Carpenters to collect what was due him from the estate. John Frye borrowed £270 from Adam Carpenter, his step-father, on October 26, 1805, just a few months before Adam’s death.
