Notes:

Taken from Field Genealogy, Vol I by Frederick Clifton Pierce Historian and Genealogist
The Field family, to which the Kentucky branch belongs, were of English and Virginia descent, and all spring from the same stock with the Fields of New England and New Jersey. They were a proud and aristocratic race of planters, slave holders, and fox hunters, and their descendants are scattered over Virginia, Kentucky and the South and West. Many of them have occupied high places in society and the state, among them Judge Richard Field of Culpeper, Va.; Judge Emmet Field, of Louisville, Ky.; Judge R. H. Field of Lexington, Mo., and Judge A. R. Burnam, now on the bench of the Kentucky Court of Appeals.
Will of Abraham Field - Legatees: sons Abraham, Daniel, Henry and John; daughter, Eleanor Field. Dated June 16, 1674; proved in Westmoreland, Aug 26, 1674. Mary Field alias Ironmonger, executrix. Mary is probably the widow and according to the usage of the time Ironmonger might be her maiden name or that of a second husband.

The first authentic account of the Fields of Virginia is the election of Henry Field, Sr., as vestryman of St. Mark's Parish, Culpeper county, Virginia, in January, 1731.  He served in that office and as warden until 1762, when he resigned, and was succeeded as vestryman by his son Henry, Jr., as he is not mentioned after 1763--St Mark's Parish, pp, 130-2.  He was a very intelligent and useful man, and participated actively in the affairs of the colony.  He executed many commissions for the vestry, such as going to Williamsburg on horseback several times on their behalf, and paying quit-rents for the churches and glebes.  He and Frances Slaughter and Robert Green chose a site for a chapel, between Shaw's Mountain and Devil's Run on Hazel river.   He represented Culpeper in the convention at Williamsburg, in 1774, to consider the state of the country, in the House of Burgesses, in 1775, and with French Strother in the convention of 1776, which asserted the principle of religious liberty, declared American independence and adopted the first constitution.
Henry Field and wife, Ester, deeded at Culpeper, Ba., June 19, 1755, to their son, Henry, 1242 acres in Culpeper.
