Paul, I think I generally agree with you. A lot of what I have on the Biggerstaffs comes from Dick Nance, confirmed by work from other family members and Legacy of Kin. Hiram and Elizabeth would likely not had children, since she was almost 40 when they married. Other than the Hirman who married Susannah all the other Hiram Fields I found died young or I just don't have children for them.

Hiram Biggerstaff. ?Susanna (ca?1800 KY- ca 1846 White, IL)?was the daughter of Joshua and Jane Fields. ?Hiram and Susanna were mar. 8 Feb 1821 in White Co. IL. I show as notes for Joshua the following: Joshua (1771-1825, bur. Enfield Cem.) was the progenitor of the FIELDS family in White Co. IL.? He came from VA to "Fored" Deer (name of a river) in TN. ?Joshua is identified as the father of Sally Fields Phipps.? When Sally married Phipps in 1832, she had to have Hiram Biggerstaff (Susannah Fields' husband) swear that Sally was 18 years old. ? It is likely that Sally and Susannah are sisters, and probably also Polly, who married Hiram's brother. Marr. record for White Co. IL shows Joshua FIELDS marrying Rhoda ABAR on 16 Jan 1836.? This could be a son of Joshua's, or possibly a second marriage. ?Also, I show the following for Joshua and Jane. ? Children:?????????????????Thomas (1793-1840) ????????????????????????????? William (1794-1853) ????????????????????????????? Susannah (1800-1846) ????????????????????????????? Jeremiah (1801-1868) ????????????????????????????? Polly (Mary) (1805-1831) ????????????????????????????? James C. (1811-) ????????????????????????????? Sally (1814-) ????????????????????????????? Joshua ????????????????????????????? Denson? ?? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?Jane I thought you might find this helpful for further research. ?The primary source of this information is: FIELDS research by Mrs. Chalon T. Land found in the Carmi, White Co., Public Library. If you have corrections to this information, I'd love to hear it.
