The will of Stephen Osborne of Elizabethtown, dated July 12, 1694, mentions wife Sarah and daughter Mary, wife of Joseph Frasey. Stephen Osborne was born in 1634, so that Mary was probably not born before 1655 or so, and possibly several years later. She was the mother of Isaac, and possibly other children. The will of Joseph Frazee of Elizabethtown, yeoman, dated Jan. 8, 1713-4, was probated Feb. 10, 1714-5, so that he probably died about the beginning of the latter year. It names wife Mary and sons Edward, Eliphalet, Samuel, John, Elisha, Joseph and Isaac ; no daughters are men- tioned by name, although they are referred to. The executors were son Eliphalet and John Harriman. (N. J. Arch. XXIII: 172.) It is possible that the son Joseph was the second child of that name, and born after the death of testator’s oldest son Joseph. The will of Joseph^ Frazee which follows verifies this.
