We Find in the clerk's office at Woodstockthat Jacob Fry married Catherine Lindamood on February 16, 1796. Catherine must have been his second wife.

He was one of the trustees of Zion's Lutheran Church and a trustee of a church school at Zion's Church. Buried in the Foltz graveyard. Mr. Fry was born March 18, 1782 and died May 30, 1872.

NOTE: Christena Lindamood the widow of Andrew Lindamood (I) wrote her Will May 7, 1831 and the same was probated May 13, 1831. In her Will she mentions two of her grandchildren. To her granddaughter, Magdalena Fry she gave a large wash kettle and to her grandson, Samuel McWay her prayer book. It would be interesting to know what happened with the iron kettle and the prayer book.
