Thank you for writing. My grandfather Irvin/Ervin/Irvine E. FIELDS may be a Cherokee Indian. This is family lore passed to me when I was a child. I have not seen any documentation of this fact. He and his parents (Charles ?. FIELDS and Clementine ? (PHIPPS or FIPS) FIELDS) don't seem to be listed in the federal census for the 1800s. Either the census person couldn't find them or they hid. I don't know. My mother died when I was very young and my Uncle Charles C. FIELDS had to go to work early in life and didn't learn much of background. So that is why I am having problems breaking through the brick wall. Any help that you have would be great. FRED L.

To: Fred L. Strickland Re your comment that your grandfather was a FIELDS and a Cherokee. Can you tell me his name? FIELDS is a well-known name among the Cherokees of Oklahoma and Texas and Tennessee. Richard Fields may be the most well-known of the Cherokee Fields families in these three areas. There were many Cherokee men who were named Richard FIELDS. The one I am most interested in was the Richard FIELDS who was murdered in Texas in 1827. If you know anything about him or his relatives I surely would like to hear from you. Tom Williams Tennessee

Hello, I am a descendant of Richard Fields and Susannah Emory, who were my 5th great grandparents. Lucy Fields married Daniel McCoy, who are my 4th great grandparents. I also have the name Davis connected with these descendants. I would like to hear from anyone, connected with these Fields. Linda [email protected]

Before the discussion goes too far about the name Fields being an indian (or Native American) name there is something I want to say. I think everyone on the list should understand that Fields is originally an English name. I think that probably everyone does know that. But when the white settlers came to the United States Native Americans were often given English names. Or someone with an english name could marry into the Native Americans and their descendants would have an English name and would have Native American heritage as well as an English heritage. But of course the origin of the name would still be English even thought it was associated with the Native Americans. You might want to look at this web site to see how many times the Fields name has been associated with Cherokees. http://members.aol.com/rarebk/cherokee.html List Manager Randall Fields

Good afternoon Patience, Both names, Fields and Davis, are Indian names as well and hard to pin down. Anyway, was there anything gossipy that would help us in those papers? Patience I read through your notes, but nothing seems to match. What caught my eye was your comment about FIELDS being an Indian name. I have been told as a child that my grandfather FIELDS was a full blooded Cherokee Indian. I have not been able to confirm that statement. Information on this large family is hard to come by; they don't seem to be in any of the federal censuses. That "fact" would align with the fact that Indians were being deported to the west. So maybe they were hiding from any federal person. I don't know. I noticed that you wrote about Grayson County VA. I looked it up on a map. Grayson County isn't that far away from Letcher County KY. Hmmm. Maybe there is a tie there. The Mount Vernon Newspaper may not help either one of us, but it might help other FIELDS researchers. If I learn anything, I will be sure to put on the FIELDS talk group. Good luck in your research, FRED L.

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN And expecially those who think that FIELD was an Indian name. Geneology of the FIELD family Preface: I am greatly indebted to a volume written by Rodney Burt Field, of Guilfore, Vermont, containing a history of the descendants of Zachariah Field, who came to the Connecticut Valley in 1639. It is a large 12 mo. volume, written in a fine, plain hand, Mr. Robert Field's own handwriting- -and is deposited with the Deerfield Historical Society of Deerfield, Mass. The book is never to be removed, and permission of the president or secretary must be obtained before it can be copied from. Rodney Burt Field was the son of Elihu Field, Jr --------------------------------- ------ The Field family descended from Hubertus de la Field, who went to England with William the Conquerer in the year 1016, from near Colmar, in Alsace, on the German border of France. He was of the family of Count de la Field, who traces back to the darkest period of the Middle Ages- -about the Sixth Century. Hubertus recieved large grants of land from William the Conquerer and settled near Halifax, England, where the family became numerous, and had many learned and noted men. When England and France became engaged in war, they dropped the French prefix and wrote the name Field. Sir John Field, the astronomer, was born at Ardsley, England in 1525. Zechariah, a grandson of Sir John, settled in Connecticut in 1639, and Col. David Field was the sixth generation in descent from him. Col. David Field, born in Hartford, Mass., January 4th, 1712 was a member of the first Massachusetts Congress that met in Concord in 1774, also in the Congress that met in Cambridge, Mass. in 1775; was also a member of the Mass. Council of Safety. Was Commisary General under General Stark at the Battle of Bennington August 16, 1777, and was in command of the regiment for a time. The Mass. State Revolutionary Records say: was chosen Colonal of the 5th Hampshire Co. Regiment of Mass. Militia January 31 1776: was commissioned Feb. 8, 1776, registered Feb. 14, 1776. In his resignation, Colonel Field. stated that he had served to the best of his ability, but he was now, owing to his old age, unable to longer fulfill the duties of his offices as he should like to, and therefore tendered his resignation, which was accepted. Major Elihu Field, son of David and Thankful (Taylor) Field, was born in Deerfield, Mass. Oct. 16, 1753 and married Dec. 29, 1774 to Hepzibah, daughter of Captain Thomas Dickson. He was interested, with his father in business and real estate, which from depreciation and losses during the Revolutionary War left him poor and without means at its close. After settling up his affairs as well as he could he removed in March, 1878 to Guilford, Vermont, and settled near the center of the town. In 1791 he built a house and set out maple trees, the house is still standing and some of the trees. On this purchase stood the Tory Tavern, kept by Hezekiah Stowell, who being a New Yorker, so-called, went with the others to Bainbridge, New York, on land appropriated by the State of New York for it's adherence on the settlement of the difficulties between that state and Vermont in 1791. He, Elihu, was a soldier for the Revolution on what was called the Alarm, which was to give notice of the approach of the enemy, and to look for the Tories. He was at the Battle of Bennington, August 1777, assisting his father, who was Commissary General under General Stark, He was a prominent man in Guilford, holding various town offices. A Major of the first organized Militia of Vermont, a Justice of the Peace for twenty years: United States Deputy Marshall for the taking of the census in 1810: United States Assessor on Internal Revenue at the time of his death. He was a firm and liberal supporter of religion, but favored the Church of England. He was often called upon to settle disputes between persons in religious matters, He was a man who was not desirous of great riches, but was satisfied with his situation in life, and was charitable to all in need, In 1803 he sold at the center of town and removed to the east part of town, where he died August 23 1814, Field, Elihu Private, Captain Amasa Sheldon's Company, Col. Elisha Porter's Regiment: enlisted July 10, 1777: service in Northern Department. Hepzibah Dickson Field, was the daughter of Captain and Prudence (Smith) Dickson, of Deerfield, Mass. She was born May 10, 1753, died Mar. 30, 1843, She was a woman of good abilities and was conversant of the early history of the country; with the early Indian Wars and most of the events of the Revolution: and was acquainted with many of the noted persons, and could give in detail many of the most interesting events. She took great interest in the prosperity of the country. She could adapt herself to any society, old or young and had the respect of all who knew her. Henry Field, son of Elihu and Hepzibah (Dickson) was born at Deerfield, Mass. Aug. 18, 1779. m. Lucinda Frisby, Jan 28, 1808, died April 1869. Lucinda Frisby was born Feb. 8, 1783, was the daughter of Thomas Frisby, who was a member of a Connecticut regiment at the Battle of Bunker Hill, and afterward a Lieutenant on the Privateer Oliver Cromwell.

Another to Brian Boru, King of Ireland in 1001. Not a dozen families in Europe can prove a higher antiquity or more distinguishing connections, from Rosamond, daughter of William Field, who died about 1617, Married Godfrey Kay, whose family claimed descent from Sir Kay, a knight of King Arthur's Round Table. Dr. Richard Field was Chaplain to King James and Queen Elizabeth. In 1753, John Field of London married Ann, daughter of Thomas Cromwell, who was a grandson of Oliver Cromwell. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Good morning and Happy New Year, I am the submitter and I guess I didn't explain my intent. I have learned that genealogy is more than determining who is the parent of a child, it is gaining a feel for how they lived. What were their beliefs? What were their concerns? What were the daily events? Are you doing something today that mirrors what a distant relation did? I am trying to learn more about my mother's line which is a tough nut to crack. I have learned that these FIELDS lived in Letcher County and Pike County KY. As a result I have joined two KY e-mail groups. One of the members[Cindy L CRAWFORD [[email protected]]] of the general KY e-mail group copies from time to time the entire contents of a small community newspaper. Once in a while the name FIELDS appears, but it doesn't seem to be my line. But I thought you guys might enjoy reading it. Maybe I could walk you through some of these gems and clues. In the attached, there is a reference to a W M FIELDS (Wm Fields of Livingston) visiting Pine Hill KY. Was this FIELDS ever ill? The same W M FIELDS was ill around April 20th, 1900. What was his employment? An item from April 13th, 1900 answered that question (W.M. Fields has purches a shingle machine and is now cutting shingles for the people). [Yes, Cindy Crawford's fingers can not spell very well.] Did this person have a farm and travel any? An item form April 6th, 1900 answered both questions (WmM. Fields is in Lincoln county this week looking after his farm interests). It appears that the first name is William. Were there other FIELDS in the area? Here is another example. Do you have a Jesse FIELDS that died in KY? This extract from May 4, 1900 may provide you or another a missing clue: Deputy Sheriff Thomas Hountshell after searching two days for Moses Feltner who killed Jesse Fields in Breathitt county finally landed his man in Leslie county but found that Feltner was also badly wounded from a shot in the leg supposed to have been fired by Fields So now you understand what I was trying to do. I hope I have helped you or another. FRED L. STRICKLAND Son of Myrtle Lorene (FIELDS) STRICKLAND Grandson of Irvine/Ervine/Ervin E. FIELDS of KY and Bessie L.

I have been off for the last few days. I have not been well. Had gall stones and an inflamed gall bladder. I had surgery Wednesday and will be off work until January 13, 1999. I may get to be online some and check e-mail but I am moving kinda slow right now. Randall Fields

Because there are many Fields family researchers, who descend from Nathaniel Fields of Rockingham Co., NC, I thought some of you may be interested that a new list has been established for Rockingham Co., NC.

HELP! Please contact me if any of the following seems familiar: Reviewing old notes I think I finally found my Fields family. Last year I didn't recognize them because I was looking for "Russell" Fields and his proper name was William Russell Fields. He married Mary Delawder 18 Apr 1866,Lawrence County, Ohio. He was in the 1880 soundex; Upper Township, Lawrence County, Ohio as follows: William R. Fields 38, wife Mary 34, Isaac 13, Cora Jane 11, Elizabeth 8, Emma 8, William 5, John F. 2 and Martin Minerva 19. All were born in Ohio. (note: The LDS file lists the twins above- Elizabeth Fields b. 24 Oct 1871 and Emma Fields b. 24 Oct 1871 born to William R. Fields and Mary Delawder. ) This family moved to Springfield, Greene County, Missouri in 1886. Maybe I will be able to find them on the 1890 Missouri census someday. Other FIELDS who might be related to mine who were heads of households in Lawrence County, Ohio 1850 to 1880: Crabtree Fields b. 1801 in VA the son of Hannah Crabtree and Richard Fields; Cummings Fields (wife Winnie); Ezekiel Fields (wife Malinda); Franklin Fields (wife Nancy); James C. Fields (wife Minnie); Jesse Fields (wife Nancy). On the 1850 census Perry twp, Lawrence Co, Ohio is Crabtree Fields 49 b. VA, wife Malinda 39 b. VA, son Isaac 18 b. VA, Elizabeth 16 b. VA, Richard 15 b. OH, Hanna 13 b. OH, Rachel 11 b. OH, Jeremiah 9 b. OH, Russell 6 b. OH, Martha A. 4 b. OH, and Ezekiel B., OH. On the 1860 census they had 3 more children-Mary 9, John 7 and Sarah 4 In the LDS file Richard FIELDS b. 1749 Augusta, VA d. 6 Dec 1827 Russel, VA married abt 1774/1775 Hannah Crabtree b. 1760 New London,Bedford, VA died aft 1830 Russell, VA; Children: 1. Squire Fields b 1775 Washington, VA married 1st Hulda married 2nd Sarah. He died 1850/1854 Hawkins,Tenn buried Fields Cemetery, Scott County, VA 2. Crabtree Fields b. abt 1777 VA 3. Margaret Fields b. abt 1779 VA married Stephen Brown 4. Richard Fields b. 1790/1800 Russell, VA 5 Ezekiel Fields b. 1800 Russell, VA married Sarah.

I am researching Elizabeth FIELDS b. 1813 KY m. John WILKES 1830 Vigo Co. IN. They resided in Greene Co., IN in 1850 and 1860. I would appreciate any help. Margaret [email protected]

Being a new subscriber to this list, I felt a listing of my family tree would be appropriate. Most of my family connections are in South Carolina with some reference to Arkansas with the little information that I presently have. Any help from fellow Fields' would be greatly appreciated.

The person who sent the original message had corrected the web site in another e- mail. Unfortunately I can no longer find the corrected web address. I apologize for this mixup. I have attaempted to obtain the correct URL. I have sent an e- mail to the original sender of the message but have not received a reply. I apologize for any inconvenience. Randall Fields

Fields Family List Subscribers - In response to my post a few days ago about Rootsweb's financial "crisis" and Rootsweb's value to us there have been many inquiries about how to "connect" with Rootsweb. Rather than trying to continue to reply personally and individually to these inquiries here's the site to obtain this Rootsweb "subscription/contribution" information: http://www.rootsweb.com/rootsweb/how-to-subscribe.html For AOL subscribers here's a clickable direct link: <A HREF="http://www.rootsweb.com/rootsweb/how-to-subscribe.html"> Rootsweb Subscription</A> For us "into genealogy" the ancestor who, what, when and where is the core and bottom line of our task. Judging from the tone of responses to my post it appears many Rootsweb list subscribers have no idea of the Rootsweb who, what, when and where. It might be helpful and appropriate if our list owner/ moderat/facilitator could provide us a Rootsweb "resume/vita" (supplied by Rootsweb) with this information. Only with this information can we fully appreciate Rootsweb's immeasurable value to us "list subscribers." Thanks for your time and my best to all. John Tallman Lookout Mountain, TN Rootsweb Donor
