His house-lot contained 6 acres, of the usual form 15 by 4 chains; and was bounded, S.W., by David Ogden; N.E., by William Letts; S.E., by a highway; and N.W., by a swamp. He received, May 9, 1676, a warrant for 120 acres. Feb. 1, 1685, he received a warrant for 50 acres adjoining his own land "betwixt Raway River and the branch, in Compansation for two highways made through his Land one leading to Vincents and the other to Woodbridge." His son, Joseph, had, also, 135 acres of "Raway" River adjoining Dr. Robinson's land; and 15 acres of meadow between Rahway River and "Emet's Creek." The house-lot he sold, to William Looker, then of Woodbridge. Frazee bought, Sep. 21, 1678, of Luke Watson, 182 acres; and, July 4, 1682, William Broadwell's town lands. His possessions were mostly along the Rahway river; and the family settled eventually in Westfield and New Providence. A tract of land on the Passaic river has, in consequence of their locating upon it, been called, "Frazeys Meadows." Mr. Frazey sold, Sept. 7, 1698, 39 acres, E. of the Rahway,to Samuel Pack. He died in January, 1713/14. (E.J. Records, I., 87,115,137; II 10,22: IV 19; G. 137. E.T. Bill, p.? Wills, No. 1)

Thomas, John, Jeremiah, Joseph, and Stephen were his sons. The first two settled in East Hampton; the others joined the company of emigrants to Achter Kol, and were founders of this town. Jeremiah was a witness, Aug. 18, 1665, to the payment of the money, to the Indians, for the purchase of the town. He, probably, died soon after, as his name does not appear among the original Associates. His brother, STEPHEN, had taken his place before 1673. Jeremiah Osborn, who was one of Mr. Harriman's parishioners from 1687 to 1705, and afterwards became a Quaker, was a son of Stephen, was born in 1661, removed to Morris Co., and lived to an extreme old age.

Pat Walker's Notes, from pieces of genealogy sent to me. These notes are 20 years old. From the wills and deeds connected to Joseph Frazee Sr., you can ascertain that he had sons, Joseph Frazee Jr, who died 1693, unmarried; William Frazee (I have died 1704); Edward Frazee (I have died 1733); and Eliphalet Frazee (I have died 1758 and married Margaret Carlisle). I have a note that another son, John died 1724 (was born 1675 m 1st Elizabeth Cooper and 2nd Sarah Oliver 1690-1729) and had sons: John, Jonathan, Benoni (b.1709 m. Elizabeth Lee and had George of Westfield NJ), William and Timothy. Since Joseph Frazee Jr. named brothers William, Edward and three younger ones in 1693, there must have been one more, which may be Elisha (I have of Woodbridge, who married Sarah but no children were named in the adm. account) or Isaac, who married Elizabeth Mills and had Isaac Jr. b. 1727, who married Ann Squire Moore. I also list a Samuel and 2nd Joseph m. Mary deMoney. Mary Osborne is supposed to have been Joseph Frazee Sr.'s second wife b. 1755, his first being name Posthumas. Like I say, I cannot find my notes, so does anyone have an idea as to who the children and grandchildren of Joseph Frazee Sr were? Please write me at Pat Walker.
