http://www.thejointlibrary.org/archives/books/HistoricScotchPlains/pg_0008.pdf This article on the local history of the THE FRAZEE-LEE HOUSE, 11 Black Birch Road, mentions Phebe Terry, d/o Thomas Terry a soldier in the Essex County Militia, and her mother, Susannah Frazee.

"In native-born school teacher Anna Littell's map of the area inclusive of the years 1740 to 1800, she places a Sam Frazee in this home, which family legend makes .the scene of many Revolutionary episodes. It wasfrom this house that five-year-old Phoebe Terry was carried on the back of her grandfather to a place of safety in Ash Swamp to escape a party of Red Coats which plundered many farms in the locality. Phoebe's home with her father, Thomas Terry, a soldier in the Essex County Militia, and her mother, Susannah Frazee, was at the end of the present Clark's Lane"
