As stated in the Will he was from Albemarle Co. Va. and his wife’s name was Sarah. Executors besides John Field were John Wood, Jesse Wood Sr and Jesse Wood Jr. John Field born 1774 and died 1833.  John was in the 8th Regiment of the Virginia militia.  He married Sally Wood.  As John, Jesse Sr, and Jesse Jr. were witnesses to the above Probate as was John Field, it is assumed that this John Field is the brother of Robert M .
