My Bad. Wrong dates. I posted another inquiry. Michael born 1815 & died 1862 from "wounds".

Michael Fields born _1815_ and died _1862_ in Scott Co., VA. A reference in Scott Co. Library says he "died from wounds". One could infer that it was service-related wounds. I need any info confirming or discounting this assumption. I also need proof that he was the son of William Fields & Elizabeth Elliott. Michael was married to Nancy Rebecca Ann McClelland. Please disregard the previous posting that I sent because I had put the wrong date. Pauline

Dear Family and Friends, An airline agent from Denver, Colorado International Airport, has sent to me a lost luggage item, a Bob Jessee Family Bible. This was left on an airplane, and the agent searched the Web and found www.Jessee.org and decided to mail the Bible to me. It arrived today. It is a 6x9 inch dark burgundy or brown soft leather cover with the name Bob Jessee engraved on the cover. Inside are notes from his wife, whose name is Vickie, and this note added to the page "Special Memories"--- "Spread Daddy's ashes-Psalms 8 & Thesalonians 4:13-18, Russell County, VA, July 12, 2007" I will be happy to mail this Bible to its owner, and very much hope someone in the family or Russell County might direct me to Bob Jessee. They may also call me at 530-342-2652 or respond to this email or directly to me at [email protected] Jim Jessee
