Probably not. Samuel Fraunces never had a daughter named Phoebe, and his eldest daughter, Elizabeth, was a 10-year-old in June 1776, the time of the supposed poisoning attempt. The first reference to a "Phoebe" Fraunces comes in a magazine story published in January 1876, a century after the supposed incident. And that story provided no documentation or source for the tale.
