John Field born 1774 and died 1833.  John was in the 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. Field Jr., who (Robert) is known to have been born in Albamarle Co., Va. and to have died in Barren Co., Kentucky.  This will places John Field in Barren County, Kentucky in 1832 along with his wife whose maiden name was Wood.

Robert Field was born in 1778 in Albamerle Co., Va. and died in Barren Co., Ky. in 1831.  He married Sarah Durrett who was born in Albamerle Co., Va and died about 1831 in Saline Co., Missouri.
