Thomas
Fields (c.1636-1679) was probably the Englishman of that name transported
to Virginia by Maj. Abraham Wood of Charles City County in 1653. By 1662
he was granted 400 acres along the James River and established a plantation
he called "Cham". This is at the fall line of the river, now in downtown
Richmond. His wife's name is not mentioned in any of his records or a will,
but because of subsequent court proceeedings for their children, she is
identified her as Mary Burton, the daughter
of John
Burton and his wife Rachel
Hutchins. Mary appears first as the widow of John Davis, her second
husband, who had been the guardian of Thomas Field's orphans in 1684. The
next year Mary married William Glover who, by 1691 "secretly left the
country owing many debts
" . A torn record of 1693 shows " ...[Ran]dolph
and Capt. Francis Eps " stepped in to protect the claims of the orphans.
These were now only a daughter, Mary Fields, and her sister.
Mary Fields married Edward Jones, a man of her father's age. Edward was Constable for a precinct north of the James for the year 1690 and owned 533 acres of land adjoining her father's property. By 1692 this land was mortgaged and they were living on her late father's property. Part of this land was also mortgaged in 1692. Edward Jones died before 1695.
