Welcome To One of
Now for part two of this mystery line. I have searched for Thomas's
father and one researcher feels he belongs to this family:
"History of Lawrence, Orange and Washington Co.'s, Indiana" Goodspeed
Bros. and Co., 1884
HARRISON FIELD was born in Bourbon County, Ky., October 22, 1810, son of
Joseph and Jemima (Wright) Field, the father a native of Culpepper
County, Va., and the mother of Woodford County, Ky. The Fields were
originally from England, their settlement in this country dating at
colonial times. Members of the family served in the Revolution and in
the early Indian or border wars. The grandfather, Daniel, served in the
Revolution and afterward bought a large tract of land in Bourbon County,
Ky. The father married Miss Wright in Kentucky, and in 1814 settled in
Washington County, Indiana, on Twin Creek, and about two years later
came to Bono Township, Lawrence County, but after a time located on the
G. R. Field farm, in this township (Marion Township, Lawrence County),
and there passed the remainder of his days. His children were Thomas,
George, Harrison (our subject), Sarah, Daniel, Willis and Joseph J. Our
subject, when seventeen years old, with meager education, began farming
for himself--hiring out by the month at $5, $6 and $8 per month. He made
four trips to New Orleans on flat boats, receiving $30 for the round
trip. At the end of seven years he had saved considerable and he bought
eighty acres. He now has 246 acres (Marion Township). His wife, Ellen
Rankin, whom he married October 13, 1835, bore him these children: Mary
A., Sarah J., Susan Y., Harrison W., Ellen J., George T., William C.,
James W., Willis P., Albert M and John R. Sarah, Susan, George and John
only are living. Harrison, Jr., died while in the last war. George
served and safely returned. The Rankins settled in Washington County in
1811, and five years later near Bedford. Mr. Field is a Republican, and
he and wife are members of the Christian Church. They are excellent
people.
