Ezekiel Henry FIELD, JR

                   From the Field Genealogy by Pierce in 1901
Ezekiel Henry Jr. settled in Richmond, Kentucky.  He married Miss Patsy Irwin and became a prosperous business man, amassing a large fortune, and beloved and respected as befalls the lot of but few men.  He left numerous and respected family of children, some of whom still reside in Richmond and vicinity.
Copied from Field Genealogy Vol II by Frederick Clifton Pierce,  1901
Ezekiel was a merchant and banker.  His father, a native of Virginia, and one of the early pioneers and patriots of Kentucky, was killed in the battle of the Blue Licks, a few months before the birth of this son.  Mr. Field's youth was passed in Bourbon County, Kentucky.  He settled in Richmond in 1803, four year after the town was laid out as the county seat.  In the death of Mr. Field, the community has sustained a loss as great as could be experienced in the removal of any citizen.  The sense of it was expressed by the closing of all places of business and a general participation in the honors paid to his remains.
