My g-g-g-grandmother was Priscilla Jane Alexander(b. 1841, d. 1898) Fields, wife of Thomas J. Fields and daughter of John Alexander(b. 1819, d. 1864) and Nancy Emily Wier (b. 1820, d 1903). John's father was also John (b. abt. 1783 in Washington Co. VA, d. 1827 in Athens) and his mother was Elizabeth. John's father was Joseph Alexander from Maryland or Virginia and I believe his mother was Sarah Bell Smith. I would love to share info and you may contact me at southernbelle972@cs.com.
