156. JONATHAN BEAN6 FIFIELD (1117) (Mehitable5 Bean, Shuah4 Fifield, John3, Benjamin2, William1) was born on 22 Aug 1779.

The census records for Salisbury NH from 1790 through 1820 indicate to me that Benjamin Fifield and Mehitable Bean did, contrary to Sheppard, have children. Jonathan's birth date is per several histories found by his descendant Barbara Stover.
Children of Jonathan Bean6 Fifield (1117) and Sarah (Sally) Pinkham (1118) were as follows:

i. MEHITABLE B.7 (3864) was born circa 1806. She married Walter W. Sellingham (3865) on 12 Feb 1824 in Thornton, Grafton, N.H (NHVR.).
I am assuming the Mehitable B. that married in Thornton in 1824 was a daughter of Jonathan. She could not have been the daughter of brother John, does not appear to have been his sister, and this leaves Jonathan as the prime suspect for a parent.

Federal Census Salisbury, Essex, Mass; page 019 1 June 1850.) (MAVR,: 129:181; born Salisbury, N.H; parents Benjamin & Mehitable; age 74 years 7 months.). He married Lois Lowell (2477), daughter of Simon Lowell (26961) and Anna Wadleigh (26962), on 5 Feb 1809 in Salisbury, Essex, Mass (Latter Day Saints, Vital Records Index, North America., CD-ROM (Salt Lake City, UT: Latter Day Saints, 1998), Vital Records of North America, FHL number 890245/6, recorded in Salisbury, Essex, MA. Hereinafter cited as LDS North America.). He married Lois Lowell (2477), daughter of Simon Lowell (26961) and Anna Wadleigh (26962), on 8 Feb 1809 in Salisbury, Essex, Mass (Topsfield Historical Society, Vital Records of Salisbury, Massachusetts to the end of the year 1849 (Topsfield, Mass: Topsfield Historical Society, 1915), Volume I page 351. Hereinafter cited as Salisbury Mass VR.). He died on 14 Sep 1859 in Salisbury, Essex, Mass (MAVR,: 129:181; born Salisbury, N.H; parents Benjamin & Mehitable; age 74 years 7 months.). He was buried in Salisbury Point Burying Ground, Amesbury, Essex, Mass (FAG, online unknown url, Memorial #115114725.).
He appeared on the census of 1850 in Salisbury, Essex, Mass (1850 U. S. Federal Census Salisbury, Essex, Mass; page 019 1 June 1850.); Nathaniel and Lois appear in the 1850 census in Salisbury, MA with Nathaniel Jr., age 14, in the house. This is most probably their grandson by Albert.
Children of Nathaniel6 Fifield (2476) and Lois Lowell (2477) both born in Salisbury, Essex, Mass, were as follows:
-
366. i. ALBERT LOWELL7 (2652) was born on 2 Mar 1810. He married Caroline Paul (2653), daughter of Stephen Paul (19555) and Temperance Ellerson (19556), on 26 Mar 1834 in Durham, Strafford, N.H.

158. JOHN6 FIFIELD (3593) (Mehitable5 Bean, Shuah4 Fifield, John3, Benjamin2, William1) was born circa Jul 1787 in Salisbury, Hillsborough, N.H. He married Sarah Carr (3594) on 2 Dec 1813 in Chelsea, Orange, Vermont (Vermont Vital Records,: John's residence given as Salisbury NH.). He died on 27 Nov 1865 (Peter Fifield Wells, P. O. Box 152, Rindge, Cheshire, N.H. 03461-0152, 603-899-5460, Woodstock NH by Route 3 - died age 78.); Died age 78 years 4 months (headstone). He was buried in Woodstock, Grafton, N.H.
John's death and age are from his headstone. The place of birth was given by his son Herod in his marriage record. According to Barbara Stover, a descendant of Jonathan Bean Fifield of Woodstock, John and Jonathan were brothers. Thus, John and Jonathan are likely two of the sons of Mehitable Bean and Benjamin Fifield that show in the early census records of Salisbury.
John apparently had numerous daughters. The 1840 census shows 4 females in addition to his wife. In the County Home section of the cemetery in North Haverhill is Charlotte Fifield, died 1n 1890 age 69, born Thornton. Since John was the only Fifield I know of in Thornton, I have assigned Charlotte to him. Similarly, the Sanborn genealogy gives the marriage of Caroline to Smith Fifield of Thornton NH.
John C. Fifield was in the NH Militia in the Thornton/Peeling area; commisioned Adjutant on 4/17/37, discharged 8/1/39. He was warned out of Washington, Orange, Vermont, 30 Jun 1814 (Rollins, Vermont Warnings, Page 264.); John and whole family. He witnessed the warned out of Benaiah B(ean?) Fifield (5921) on 30 Jun 1814 in Washington, Orange, Vermont (Ibid.). He was warned out of Chelsea, Orange, Vermont, 25 Dec 1815 (Ibid., Page 215.).
Children of John6 Fifield (3593) and Sarah Carr (3594) were as follows:
-
368. i. HEROD7 (3595) was born on 2 Jan 1814 in Washington, Orange, Vermont. He married Betsey Clark (3596) on 10 Oct 1839 in Campton, Grafton, N.H. He died on 4 Jul 1898 in Campton, Grafton, N.H., at age 84.
-
ii. SMITH (3996) was born circa 1819. He married Caroline A. Sanborn (5986), daughter of William Sanborn (5312) and Lois Woodman (4781), on 20 Dec 1838.
I assume that Smith was a son of John based on where he was from per the Sanborn genealogy.
-
iii. CHARLOTTE (3821) was born circa 1821 in Thornton, Grafton, N.H. She died on 25 Aug 1890 in Haverhill, Grafton, N.H (Peter Fifield Wells, P. O.

Children of Benaiah B(ean?)6 Fifield (5921) and Eleanor Gibbs (5922) were as follows:
-
i. ANN A. M.7 (5923) was born circa 1830 in Indiana. She married Byron F. Alsop (16295) on 18 Sep 1851 in McLean, Illinois (Illinois Vital Records, online http://www.cyberdriveillinois.com/cgi-bin/archives/marriage.s, Illinois marriage record index, State Genealogical Society, copy provided by Frances Barrow 7 Apr 2000. Hereinafter cited as ILVR.); I assume this is the Ann Maria who married Byron Alsop.
-

162. JEREMIAH6 FIFIELD (1427) (William5, Benjamin4, John3, Benjamin2, William1) was born on 20 Mar 1779 in Concord, Rockingham, N.H (NHVR,: Parents given as William and Dorothy Eastman.).

(Gardiner, Maine: Journal Reporter Press, 1915), Page 286. Hereinafter cited as Gardiner ME VR.).
Jeremiah removed West according to the History of Salisbury. However, the naming pattern of his children combined with his age and birthplace provide a decent match with the Jeremiah that ended up in Maine. While I have no proof that they were the same person, it is as logical an assignment as any based on current knowledge.
Children of Jeremiah6 Fifield (1427) and Lucy Longley (6516) were as follows:
-
377. i. LUCILLE7 (6518) was born on 10 Oct 1805 in Maine. She married Thomas Jefferson Lindsay (19833) circa 1829 in Maine. She died on 11 Feb 1887 in Oconto, Oconto, Wisconsin, at age 81.

-

-
ix. LEAH (21799) (Heads of Families at the Fifth Census of the United States taken in the year 1830 Ingersol, Penobscot, Maine 1 June 1830.) (Ibid.) was born say 1823 (Ibid.). She on 25 Jun 1847 in Lee, Penobscot, Maine (New England Ancestors, online www.nehgs.org, Vital Records of Lincoln, Maine.).
-
x. SARAH B. (6525) was born on 30 Aug 1825 in Lee, Penobscot, Maine (Vital Records of North America, LDS North America, FHL number 11531, Civil Records for Lee, Penobscot, ME.).

163. WILLIAM6 FIFIELD (1430) (William5, Benjamin4, John3, Benjamin2, William1) was born on 24 Oct 1784 in Concord, Rockingham, N.H (NHVR,: Parents given as William and Dorothy Eastman.). He married Elizabeth Webster (1431), daughter of Daniel Webster (24921) and Hannah Heath (24922), on 17 Nov 1808 in Plymouth, Grafton, N.H (Ibid., No further information in record.). He died on 1 Feb 1828 in New Hampton, Belknap, N.H., at age 43 (Peter Fifield Wells, P. O. Box 152, Rindge, Cheshire, N.H. 03461-0152, 603-899-5460, New Hampton Cemetery Records - died 2-14-1828 ae (42).). He was buried in New Hampton, Belknap, N.H.
He appeared on the census of 1820; William settled in New Hampton. The 1820 census shows two male children and one female under ten years of age in the family.
The Genealogy of New Hampton, a typescript document by J. C. Gowan, confuses the children of Enoch and William and assigns three of William's children to Enoch. That they belong to William is proved by the probate records of William's sons Daniel and Henry, both on file at Belknap County. Further, Gowan has the wrong William, as he says the William there is the brother of Enoch.
Children of William6 Fifield (1430) and Elizabeth Webster (1431) were as follows:
-
383. i. DANIEL EASTMAN7 (2403) was born on 30 Sep 1809 in New Hampton, Belknap, N.H. He married Hannah S. Carter (2404), daughter of Levi Carter (23671) and Polly Mason (23672), on 31 Mar 1836 in New Hampton, Strafford, N.H. He died on 3 May 1883 in New Hampton, Belknap, N.H., at age 73. He was buried in New Hampton, Belknap, N.H.
-
384. ii. ALBERT G. (3022) was born on 11 Dec 1811. He on 23 Dec 1833 in Lowell, Middlesex, Mass. He died on 16 Feb 1874 at age 62. He was buried in New Hampton, Belknap, N.H.
-
iii. HANNAH (2407) was born circa 1820. She died on 2 Jun 1841 (Peter Fifield Wells, P. O. Box 152, Rindge, Cheshire, N.H. 03461-0152, 603-899-5460, New Hampton Cemetery Records.). She was buried in New Hampton, Belknap, N.H.
-

He married Mary Sargent Knapp (2981), daughter of Oliver Knapp (4434) and Betsey (--?--) (26240), in 1852. He died on 4 May 1860 in Canal Zone, Panama, at age 38. He was buried on 5 May 1860 in Canal Zone, Panama.
-
v. HENRY S. (3028) was born circa 1826. He married Ann Willard (3029) on 6 Apr 1856 in New Hampton, Belknap, N.H (Genealogy,, New Hampshire Historical Society, New Hampshire Historical Society, Park Street, Concord, Merrimack, N.H. 03301-6384, Fifield pages.). He and Ann Willard (3029) were divorced in Mar 1877 (NHVR,: Henry divorced Annie for abandonment.). He died on 2 May 1881 (Probate File 3537 Belknap co. intestate - legal distribution to heirs.d.); Henry died intestate with sufficient assets to be distributed to his relatives. Brother Daniel E. of New Hampton was allocated 33.3%; Rensselaer J. of Bristol, Oliver J. of Fisherville and Ernest W. Flagg of New Hampton received 11.1% each, and William of North Brookfield MA, Moses of Natick MA, Albert G. of Franklin Falls NH, Jennie E. Hoyt of Lowell MA, Hannah Edgerly of New Hampton and Harriet Fifield of New Hampton received 5.56% each. He was buried in New Hampton, Belknap, N.H.
Henry is described in the Genealogy of the town of New Hampton as an 'odd genius', photographer, inventor. His age is given as 59 at death in that document (taken from his headstone), NH vital records say 50, and the census for 1850 gives his age as 24. I suspect that the 59 is incorrect.
Historical New Hampshire, the publication of the New Hampshire Historical Society, devoted a paragraph to Henry in Volume 54, Nos. 3 & 4 (Fall/Winter 1999) as follows:
"Another stereographer working in Franconia Notch, Henry S. Fifield, is remembered for his enterprising establishment located at the natural attraction known as the Flume. Each year, from the mid-1860's to th early-1880's, this New Hampton photographer set up shop just below the famous suspended boulder, where he photographed groups of tourists. He averaged more than one thousand negatives each season. By using such a noted landmark as the background for his portraits, Fifield ensured himself a market, as such mementos were certain to be in demand among the tourists. But the washing out of the boulder during a storm in 1883 resulted in the loss of Fifield's favorite backdrop".
164. MOSES6 FIFIELD (1432) (William5, Benjamin4, John3, Benjamin2, William1) was born on 20 Oct 1786 in Concord, Rockingham, N.H (NHVR,: Parents given as William and Dorothy Eastman.). He married Sylvia (Mary?) Warren (1433) before 1816. He died on 27 Nov 1871 in Northfield, Franklin, Mass., at age 85 (MAVR,: Vol 238 page 296.).
He appeared on the census of 1840 in Northfield, Franklin, Mass (Heads of Families at the Sixth Census of the United States taken in the year 1840 1 June 1840.); Moses settled in Northfield, and is in the 1840 census. No children show in the family. The female in the house was born ca. 1800-1810. In the same census there is a Philip in a nearby town, who then appears in Northfield in the 1850 census (Moses is now gone). I suspect that Philip (born about 1816) was a son of Moses, named after his brother who died young. I am assigning Philip to Moses and Sylvia accordingly.
The 1865 Massachusetts census (NH Genealogical Record July 1994/October 1995) says Moses age 78 born Concord and Mary W. age 63 born Lyme are in Northfield MA.

He married Prissy Barlow (949), daughter of Aaron Barlow Esquire (25141), on 21 Nov 1815 in Bethel, Windsor, Vermont (Vermont Vital Records,: No further information in the record.). He married Sarah H. Woodbury (948) on 3 Nov 1830 in Barre, Rutland, Mass (unknown compiler, compiler, Vital Records of Barre, Massachusetts to 1849 (Boston, Mass.: Stanhope Press, 1903), Marriages, 136. Hereinafter cited as Barre Vital Records.); James was of (Fort) Salona, N.Y. in the marriage record. He died in Apr 1874 in New York at age 80 (Probate Surrogate's Court, St. Lawrence Co., N.Y.).
James lived and died at Huvelton, NY and had no children, according to Henry Fifield of Montpelier. The 1850 census found him in Oswegatchie (not far from Huvelton). According to that census he was born in NH. His dates of birth and death are from The Genealogy of NH by Stearns, 1908. In 1860 he is still in Oswegatchie with wife Sarah plus Louisa P. Fifield, born in Canada. In 1870 he is there alone. He was warned out of Bethel, Windsor, Vermont, 2 Feb 1816 (Alden M.

183. ROBERT6 FIFIELD (952) (Moses5, Benjamin4, John3, Benjamin2, William1) was born on 22 Feb 1795 in Salisbury, Hillsborough, N.H ("Pension record", James R. Fifield, certificate 438945.); I consider it unlikely that Robert was born in Salisbury N.H. Most likely this belated entry in the family Bible of his son is an indication of the fact that grandfather Moses came from Salisbury. He was born on 23 Feb 1796. He married Susan Elizabeth Babbitt (4780), daughter of Abel Babbitt (10748) and Susan Winslow (10749), on 5 Nov 1818 in Barnard, Windsor, Vermont (Vermont Vital Records,: No further information in the record.).

Page 77. Hereinafter cited as 8,000 More NY records.); Betsey was "of Potsdam. He died in 1889 (Probate Robert's will was submitted for probate 16 August 1889 and proved 2 December 1889. In addition to executrix Martha J., sons C. R. Fifield of Manson, IA and J. R. Fifield of New Hartford, IA were mentioned as heirs at law.).
Robert lived at Huvelton, NY, and married, but had no children according to Henry Fifield of Montpelier. The 1850 census found him and his brother James in Oswegatchie, not far from Huvelton. However, it is obvious from all records that he did indeed have children. He indicated that he was born in NH.
The New York State census of 1865 says that he was married twice, his wife was married once, and she was the mother of two children. It also says his wife was born in Vermont. He was warned out of Barnard, Windsor, Vermont, 2 Sep 1817 (Rollins, Vermont Warnings II, Page 317.). He appeared on the census of 1860 in Oswegatchie, Saint Lawrence, New York (1860 U. S. Federal Census Oswegatchie, Saint Lawrence, N.Y 1 June 1860.). He left a will on 22 Feb 1877 in Oswegatchie, St Lawrence, New York; Robert left everything to daughter and executrix Martha Jane Fifield. No one else was mentioned in the will. Witnesses were John Mclaren and W. J. Allen of Oswegatchie.

He died on 9 Jan 1859 in Chelsea, Orange, Vermont, at age 60 (Ibid., Parents named, age 60, 4, 2; born Chelsea; Typhus.). He was buried in Chelsea, Orange, Vermont.
He appeared on the census of 1850 in Chelsea, Orange, Vermont; Ira and his family appear in the 1850 census in Chelsea, VT. His dates of birth and death are from Stearns 1908 Genealogy of NH. The marriage of Ira and 'Polly' Plummer is recorded in VT vital records.
The marriages of two female Fifields are recorded in Chelsea prior to 1850. These are probably additional daughters of Ira, and I have entered them as such, also indicated by the 1840 census.
Hiram is assigned based on his birthplace of Washington and the presence of Ira there in the 1830 census with a son of the proper age. Hiram Fifield "of East Wallingford, VT" is also mentioned in the probate record of uncle James Fifield.
Henry is assigned based on the probate record for uncle James Fifield of Oswegatchie, NY. That record lists heirs at law of brothers Adams, Silas and Robert, and then lists children of Ira along with "Henry Fifield of Greenfield, NH."
An early marriage of an Ira to Juna Bigelow is recorded in Middletown VT. Perhaps Ira had two wives? Appears unlikely, as he would have been but 15 years old at time of marriage!

He died in Nov 1840 in East Kingston, Rockingham, N.H., at age 70 (Probate Rockingham Co., the estate of Amos was declared insolvent.); Amos died intestate, a debtor.
Amos 'of Gilmanton NH' sold land in Unity on 3 December 1795 (Cheshire county book 31 page 4.) Hannah also signed the deed (: Cheshire county N.H. 31:4.).
Children of Amos6 Fifield (1213) and Hannah Fifield (1214) were as follows:

The 1850 Kingston census shows 'Annah Fiffield' age 88 and Shuah age 61 'paupers' living with John Stevens, who married Anna's sister Ruhama. However, since the age and surname do not match, this is probably a cousin of Anna.

199. DAVID6 FIFIELD (1509) (Peter5, Samuel4, Joseph3, Benjamin2, William1) was born circa 1775. He was christened on 6 Jul 1777 in Kingston, Rockingham, N.H. He on 15 Aug 1800 in Hallowell, Kennebec, Maine (MEVR,: Marriage intent filed 8/15/1800, he resides Fayette she Hallowell.). He died on 22 Feb 1836 in Fayette, Kennebec, Maine.
This is probably the David who married Hannah Stevens (intent 8/15/1800) in Maine. He gave his residence as Fayette, and she of Hallowell. The census figures of 1810-1820 for Fayette indicate a family of 2 males and 3 females born in the period 1805-1820, and confirm 1775 as a good estimate for his year of birth.
The History of Fayette shows that his oldest son was named Peter and his second daughter Sally, making the identification even more certain given the names of his parents.
Children of David6 Fifield (1509) and Hannah Stevens (3869) were as follows:
-
i. HARRIET7 (3870) was born on 25 Jul 1801. She married Abijah Crane (5406) in 1822. She died after 1890.
-

-
v. MEHITABLE STEVENS (3874) was born on 11 Jul 1814. She married James Underwood (5408).
200. RUHAMA6 FIFIELD (1512) (Peter5, Samuel4, Joseph3, Benjamin2, William1) was born circa 1778. She was christened on 28 Aug 1778 in Kingston, Rockingham, N.H. She married John Stevens (1513), son of Ebenezer Stevens (7033) and Mrs. Dolly Stevens (7034), on 13 Dec 1798 in Kingston, Rockingham, N.H (NHVR.).
Children of Ruhama6 Fifield (1512) and John Stevens (1513) were as follows:
-
450. i. SHERBURNE7 (7028) was born on 24 Sep 1799 in Kingston, Rockingham, N.H. He married Paula (--?--) (7029) on 27 Jan 1822.

201. MOSES FRENCH6 FIFIELD (1514) (Peter5, Samuel4, Joseph3, Benjamin2, William1) was born circa 1782. He was christened on 13 Oct 1782 in Kingston, Rockingham, N.H. He married Susanna Quimby (3919) on 26 Feb 1811 in Kingston, Rockingham, N.H. He died circa 1829 (Probate Rockingham co. probate records dated 1829, intestate.); Susanna submitted an accounting including expenses for the boarding of Ora P. from April 2 1829 to July 25 1835 'being the time he arrived to the age of seven years'. Accounts were also paid to Amos and 'Affa' Fifield. Guardianship papers over Ora P. plus Mary Jane and Abraham, minors over 14, may indicate the family. The 1820 census suggests one male and one female child.
I believe this is Moses whose wedding to Susanna Quimby was recorded in Kingston. Probate records for the estate of Moses in Kingston with widow Susanna administering plus the name Ora Pearson, also used elsewhere in the family, tend to confirm it.
Children of Moses French6 Fifield (1514) and Susanna Quimby (3919) were as follows:
-
i. DAVID7 (3920) d. young.
-
ii. MARY JANE (3921) was born circa 1812. She died on 20 Jul 1885 in Belmont, Belknap, N.H (NHVR,: No parents named, born Kingston, died age 75.).

-
451. iii. SANBORN (4779) was born on 29 Jan 1815 in Kingston, Rockingham, N.H. He married Lydia A Wilson (24584), daughter of David Wilson (24585) and Lydia (--?--) (24586), say 1849. He married Sarah E. Wilson (5587), daughter of David Wilson (11788) and Lydia Flowers (11789), on 21 Sep 1862 in Boston, Suffolk, Mass. He died on 14 Aug 1892 in Newton, Middlesex, Mass., at age 77.
-
iv. ORA PEARSON (3922) was born on 25 Jul 1828 in Kingston, Rockingham, N.H (MAVR,: death record, Boston, 131:76. The record confirms the month and year of birth.). He married Susan P. Rand (6647), daughter of Reuben Rand (25265) and Sophia (--?--) (25266), on 25 Jul 1852 in Boston, Suffolk, Mass (Ibid., Vol. 62 page 79.). He died on 23 Nov 1859 in Boston, Suffolk, Mass., at age 31 (MAVR,: 131:76.); Died age 31 year 4 months, consumption, born Kingston, NH.
The birth date for Ora P. is assumed from the statement of Susanna that he arrived at the age of seven on 25 July 1835. He appeared on the census of 1850 in Boston Ward 7, Suffolk, Mass (1850 U. S. Federal Census Boston Ward 7, Suffolk, Mass 1 June 1850.).
202. SALLY (SARAH)6 FIFIELD (1515) (Peter5, Samuel4, Joseph3, Benjamin2, William1) was christened on 18 Jun 1784 in Kingston, Rockingham, N.H. She was born on 14 Jul 1784 (Sanborn, Sanborn genealogy, Page 219.). She married Peter Sanborn (1516) on 15 Sep 1808.
Sarah was unmarried in 1802 when her father's will was written.
Children of Sally (Sarah)6 Fifield (1515) and Peter Sanborn (1516) were:
-
i. PETER FIFIELD7 (16182) (George Thomas Little, Descendants of George Little of Newbury, Mass. (Auburn, Maine: n.pub., 1882), page 442. Hereinafter cited as Little genealogy.) (Ibid.) was born on 22 Dec 1811 in Kingston, Rockingham, N.H (Ibid.). He married Sarah Little Pickard (16183) on 16 May 1867 (Ibid.).
203. JOSIAH B.6 FIFIELD (1517) (Peter5, Samuel4, Joseph3, Benjamin2, William1) was born circa 1789. He was christened on 2 Jul 1789 in Kingston, Rockingham, N.H. He married Apphia D. Smith (1518) in Kingston, Rockingham, N.H. He married Harriet M. Smith (3943), daughter of Reuben Smith (25277) and Betsey Wadleigh (25278), on 12 Sep 1855 in Exeter, Rockingham, N.H (Newspaper notice or article or equivalent., Exeter Newsletter 17 Sept 1855.). He died on 30 Sep 1864 in Exeter, Rockingham, N.H (NHVR,: Age given as 76.).
Josiah is a problem Fifield, whose family is not documented as such as far as I can tell. What I have has been pieced together, mostly from NH Vital records with the assumption that he represents the only Josiah Fifield family in Brentwood in the early 1800's. In most cases the records for his children mention his name as father somewhere. The one exception is John H., whose father is therefore assumed based on his otherwise close association with Josiah's family and his birthplace of Brentwood.
In the 1850 census Josiah appears in Gilmanton, NH (Belmont). In the house with him are Sarah, 20 and Charles, 18. Also in town are sons Stevens S., John H. and Josiah B. with their families. The 1820 census shows 4 males up to 10 years old. Later census records obviously miss some of his children.
In the 1860 census Josiah is in Exeter, age 70, with Harriet Fifield, age 53.
A family history written by an unknown great grandchild of ancestor Samuel gives Josiah's children as Peter S., Stephen S., Josiah, Betsey, John H., George S., Sarah, Charles K. and Thomas E.
Children of Josiah B.6 Fifield (1517) and Apphia D. Smith (1518) were as follows:
-
452. i. PETER S.7 (1519) was born in Mar 1814 in Brentwood, Rockingham, N.H. He married Catherine A. Webster (1520), daughter of Jacob Webster (25741) and Abigail Hubbard (25742), on 19 Aug 1845 in Exeter, Rockingham, N.H. He died on 18 May 1895 in Kingston, Rockingham, N.H., at age 81.
-
453. ii. THOMAS E. (4205) was born circa 1817 in Brentwood, Rockingham, N.H. He married Sarah Ann Langley (4207) in Aug 1841 in Kensington, Rockingham, N.H. He married Mary N. Hill (4206), daughter of Samuel Hill (24545) and Sally Prescott (24546), on 10 Apr 1862 in Lowell, Middlesex, Mass. He died on 1 Feb 1884 in Exeter, Rockingham, N.H.

-
455. iv. JOSIAH B. (2263) was born in Nov 1820 in Brentwood, Rockingham, N.H. He married Eliza S. Weymouth (2265), daughter of Joseph Weymouth (16088) and Lydia (--?--) (16089), before 1849. He married Mary Abbie Davis (2264), daughter of Lowell Davis (23480) and Olive J (--?--) (24572), on 21 Dec 1870 in Belmont, Belknap, N.H. He died on 3 Oct 1891 in Belmont, Belknap, N.H., at age 70.

He died on 24 Dec 1905 in Belmont, Belknap, N.H., at age 82. He was buried in Belmont, Belknap, N.H.
-
vi. BETSEY (5409) was born circa 1815? in Brentwood, Rockingham, N.H (Heads of Families at the Fourth Census of the United States taken in the year 1820 Brentwood, Rockingham, N.H 7 Aug. 1820.). She died on 9 Jan 1861 in Exeter, Rockingham, N.H (NHVR,: Age 44, no parents or birthplace or marital status.); Perhaps this Fifield, a guess! Elizabeth A on the record.
-
vii. GEORGE (5121) was born circa 1829 in Brentwood, Rockingham, N.H. He died on 3 Nov 1854 in Gilmanton, Strafford, N.H (Newspaper obituary, , Exeter Newsletter - George S., son of Josiah, age 25.).
The 1840 census for Gilmanton shows Josiah with a male in this age range, and George appears in Gilmanton age 24 in the 1850 census, so I assume that George is a son of Josiah.
-
457. viii. SARAH (2876) was born circa 1830 in Gilmanton, Strafford, N.H. She married Asa I. Smith (5642) on 5 Apr 1855 in Gilmanton, Strafford, N.H.

204. SANBORN6 FIFIELD (1145) (Joseph5, Samuel4, Joseph3, Benjamin2, William1) was born in Jan 1775. He married Hannah Eastman (1146) in 1799. He died on 15 Nov 1853 in Deerfield, Rockingham, N.H., at age 78 (Probate File 16494 Rockingham co. will of Sanborn.). He was buried in Deerfield, Rockingham, N.H.
He appeared on the census of 1850 in Deerfield, Rockingham, N.H; Sanborn, age 77. Along with him are Elisa S., age 43, and Mary A., age 27. He and his family have gravestones in Deerfield on South Road - Route 43, and a memorial erected in their memory by 'their daughter Mrs. Mary A. Conner, October AD 1891'. Sanborn died age 78 years 11 months. The Exeter Newsletter says he died in the 79th year of his age, and he was a professor of religion for a number of years.
Children of Sanborn6 Fifield (1145) and Hannah Eastman (1146) were as follows:
-
i. FREDERICK7 (3086) was born circa 1800. He died on 31 Oct 1824 in Deerfield, Rockingham, N.H (Peter Fifield Wells, P. O. Box 152, Rindge, Cheshire, N.H. 03461-0152, 603-899-5460.)

-

-

He was buried in Hill Cemetery, Manchester, Kennebec, Maine (FAG, online unknown url, Memorial #42512409.).
The town history of Manchester ME in the History of Kennebec County, plus gravestone information recorded by the Maine Old Cemetery Association plus 1850 census information make it abundantly clear that the Joseph buried in Manchester age 91 yrs 2 months 12 days is this Joseph.
According to the 1800 census Joseph came to Maine in 1798 (Henry D. and Deyo, Simeon L. Kingsbury, editor, Illustrated History of Kennebec County, Maine (New York: H. W. Blake and Company, 1892), Page 883. Hereinafter cited as Kennebec Maine history.). Records of the town of Manchester were lost in a fire in the 1950's. According to William Worthing, a Fifield descendant, there are no more people with the name of Fifield in Manchester (conversation on 7/16/91). He lives on the corner of Worthing and Fifield roads in Manchester, in a farmhouse which was passed down from Fifields.
Children of Joseph6 Fifield (1147) and Levina Lyon (1148) were as follows:
-
i. MARY7 (22832) (New England Ancestors, online www.nehgs.org, Cemetery Records on line, 2/22/2003.) (Ibid.) was born in 1800 (New England Ancestors, online www.nehgs.org, Cemetery Records on line, 2/22/2003.); The parents of Mary are an educated guess, nothing more. She married Jonathan C. Low (1179) say 1825 (Ibid.). She died on 14 Jul 1882 (Ibid.). She was buried in Fifield Private Burying Ground, Manchester, Kennebec, Maine (New England Ancestors, online www.nehgs.org, Cemetery Records on line, 2/22/2003.); wife of J. G. Low.

Information on Sanborn T. taken from History of Manchester ME as recorded in History of Kennebec County.
206. TRISTRAM6 FIFIELD (1155) (Joseph5, Samuel4, Joseph3, Benjamin2, William1) was born circa 1780 (Peter Fifield Wells, P. O. Box 152, Rindge, Cheshire, N.H. 03461-0152, 603-899-5460, Headstone say Tristram died age 36.). He died on 23 Jul 1816 (Ibid., Old cemetery (Oak Hill) per recording at NH Historical Society.). He was buried in East Kingston, Rockingham, N.H.
Tristam died unmarried, according to notes on him. However, the 1800 census for Joseph plus the 1810 census for 'Tristiam Fife' in East Kingston plus the 1820 and 1830 census for Jacob all indicate to me that the Joseph born in 1795 in East Kingston was part of this family. A likely possibility is that Joseph was an illegitimate child of Tristram. Research by descendants indicate that the mother was Eunice Bean French.
There is an entry for Tristram in the pension papers for the war of 1812 referring to a substitute, Samuel Caverly.
Children of Tristram6 Fifield (1155) and Eunice Bean French (11950) were:
-

207. JOHN6 FIFIELD (1149) (Joseph5, Samuel4, Joseph3, Benjamin2, William1) was born in Jul 1782 in Epping, Rockingham, N.H; Death records of two children give John's birthplace as Epping. He married Sarah Gilman (1150) circa 1806 (Kingsbury, Kennebec Maine history, Page 911.). He died on 29 Oct 1845 in Readfield, Kennebec, Maine, at age 63 (Maine Old Cemetery Association, MOCA, Kennebec Co. Manchester, Fifield Cemetery age 63 years 3 months.). He was buried in Fifield Cemetery, Readfield, Kennebec, Maine (New England Ancestors, online www.nehgs.org, Cemetery Records on line, 2/22/2003.) (FAG, online unknown url, Memorial #42527311.).
On April 9 1805 brother Tristram purchased John's share of the land left to him by their father for $1000, probably a good indication of the date of his trek toward Maine.
Children of John6 Fifield (1149) and Sarah Gilman (1150) were as follows:
-
i. RUFUS7 (1173) was born on 8 Aug 1807 in Readfield, Kennebec, Maine. He died on 5 Nov 1856 at age 49 (Maine Old Cemetery Association, MOCA, Kennebec Co. Manchester, Fifield Cemetery.).

John T. Fifield and Ellen Connor Fifield were signers at the formation of the Freewill Baptist Church in Andover?!?!?!

According to Dearborn's History of Salisbury, Ezra was twice married and lived on the Sherburne Fifield place. The early census breakdowns show that he was born about 1775.
Assignment of his children is unproven, and may not be correct ( January/April 2001, Vol. 18 #1-2, page 8. Discussion of Ezra and his descendants.).

In 1815 he removed to Vasselboro ME, had 6 children there, the youngest of which was Harriet born in 1828 according to Dearborn - but how could she have been the youngest if he returned to Salisbury in 1812 with a child?. The 1810 census for Hampden ME shows a household of apparent husband and wife plus a male born 1795-1800. By Mary, his second wife, he had 2 daughters. The youngest was Anna D., residing in Hampden, ME. Gravestones in Hampden ME for Pearson and his family have only the initials on them.

The 1810 (Plainfield NH) and 1820 (Hartford VT) censuses show 2 males (1795-1800, & 1805-1810) and 3 females (1795, 1805-1810 and 1810) on the assumption that the same people are in both tallies. VT vital records show the marriage of Josiah in 1816 to Betsey Bill, his second wife per the Bill genealogy. His death is recorded at Albany.
Plainfield town records show that he held minor town offices in 1814 and 1817 (2:188 & 2:209). In 1811 a road was surveyed by his house (2:514). He held land as a non-resident in Grantham and Haverhill.
While Andrew is present in 1840 in Orleans County, I assign him to Daniel based on the naming pattern of his children, especially Absolam.
Children of Josiah6 Fifield (1379) and Polly Spaulding (10445) were as follows:
-
i. ALTHEDA7 (6609) was born on 14 Apr 1801 in Plainfield, Cheshire, N.H (C. Burleigh, Genealogy and History of the Guild, Guile & Gile family (Portland, Maine: Brown Thurston & Company, 1887). Hereinafter cited as Guild Genealogy.). She married John Guild (6610). She died on 10 Feb 1856 in Irasburg, Orleans, Vermont, at age 54 (Vermont Vital Records,: Died age 54, husband's name John.).
The Guild genealogy says that John Guild married Altheda Fifield born 14 April 1801 at Plainfield NH; he was a farmer at Irasburg VT. Since Josiah had a family started at Plainfield and removed to Irasburg, I have assigned Altheda to him (Burleigh, Guild Genealogy.).
-

There were no children of Josiah6 Fifield (1379) and Betsey Bill (1380).
232. SUSAN6 FIFIELD (1381) (Edward5, John4, Joseph3, Benjamin2, William1) was born circa 1776 in Salisbury, Hillsborough, N.H. She married Everiston Jennings (1382) on 22 Mar 1798 in Plainfield, Cheshire, N.H (NHVR.). She died before 1850 (1850 U. S. Federal Census Hartford, Windsor, Vt. page 148 1 June 1850.); No longer in the census.
Susan and Everiston removed to Queechee, VT and reportedly had 7 children.

233. LYDIA6 FIFIELD (1383) (Edward5, John4, Joseph3, Benjamin2, William1) was born circa 1778 in Salisbury, Hillsborough, N.H. She married Oliver Taylor (1384) say 1803.
Lydia removed to New York with her husband Oliver. They had at least 1 son, Oliver, b. 1805. She was living in 1870 in Royalton, Niagara, New York ( Jamuary 2009 Volume 26 #1 page 6.).
Children of Lydia6 Fifield (1383) and Oliver Taylor (1384) both born in Vermont were as follows:

234. JESSE6 FIFIELD M.D. (1395) (Edward5, John4, Joseph3, Benjamin2, William1) was born circa 1784 in Salisbury, Hillsborough, N.H (1850 U. S. Federal Census Waterloo, Seneca, N.Y 1 June 1850.); age 66 in 1850. He married Susan Burnham (1396) (Dearborn, Dearborn's Salisbury, 571.). He died on 16 Jul 1851 in Home of M. M. Ellis, son-in-law, Utica, Oneida, New York (Mary S. & Edward F. Jackson, compiler, Marriage and Death Notices from Seneca County, New York Newspapers, 1817-1885 (Bowie, Md.: Heritage Books, 1997), page 92, age 66 years. Hereinafter cited as Seneca N.Y. Records.).
He lived circa 1815 in Waterloo, Seneca, New York (John E. Becker, A History of the Village of Waterloo New York and Thesaurus of Related Facts (Waterloo, NY: Waterloo Library and Historical Society, 1949), pp 68 & 70. Hereinafter cited as Waterloo NY.). He appeared on the census of between 1820 and 1850 in Waterloo, Seneca, New York; Jesse removed to Waterloo, NY and had 4 children. The youngest child married D. N. Burnham, Esq. and lived in Chicago. Jesse and Susan appear in the 1850 census in Waterloo. He was drugstore proprietor, Dr. Jesse Fifield in 1830 in Waterloo, Seneca, New York (Becker, Waterloo NY, page 121.).
Children of Jesse6 Fifield M.D. (1395) and Susan Burnham (1396) were as follows:
-
531. i. LUCINDA M.7 (5243) was born circa 1828 in New York. She married Mahlon Marvel Ellis (5244) on 6 Oct 1847 in Junius, Seneca, New York.
-
532. ii. ELIZABETH (6710) married Charles M. Bachman (6711).
-

He and John L. Townsend (10640) purchased Jesse Fifield & John L. Townsend of Seneca Co. purchased 160 acres in the NE quarter, Section 18, Township #1 South, Range 7 West, from the Bronson MI Land Office. The two also purchased additional tracts of 160, 154, and 160 acres at the same time. Since the elder Jesse appears in Waterloo through 1850, I assume that this is a son Jesse as there are subsequent transactions by Jesse Fifield in Michigan on 1 May 1839
-
iv. JOSIAH (26018) ( Jamuary 2009 Volume 26 #1 page 8.) (Ibid.) was born before 1819. He married Emma Giddins (21276) on 13 Feb 1839 in Lockport, Niagara, New York ("Otselic Inscriptions," Vol 12 #4 December 1972 page 204.); by Reverend Mr. Fisher.
235. EDWARD6 FIFIELD (1392) (Edward5, John4, Joseph3, Benjamin2, William1) was born circa Apr 1791 in Salisbury, Hillsborough, N.H (FAG, online unknown url, Memorial# 124040762.); Named after Ira in will. He married Martha D. (--?--) (15935) (Probate Springfield, Windsor VT. probate Volume 9 page 189.). He died on 26 Sep 1821 in Wethersfield, Windsor, Vermont (Probate Springfield, Windsor VT. probate Volume 9 page 189.) (FAG, online unknown url, Memorial# 124040762.); Will was probated 3 October 1821. The residue of the estate, $150.93, went to widow Martha. The 1820 census indicated a daughter, but another child might have been born later. He was buried in Ascutneyville Cemetery, Ascutney, Windsor, Vermont (Ibid.).
Edward was married at Wethersfield, VT. His father's will makes a bequest to the heirs of son Edward, late of Wethersfield VT.
There were no children of Edward6 Fifield (1392) and Martha D. (--?--) (15935).
Children of Edward6 Fifield (1392) include:
-
i. RUTH7 (27355) ([Strong Family Association of America], Strong Family History Update, VOlume II (Baltimore, Maryland: Gateway Press Inc., 1990), Page 521. Hereinafter cited as Strong genealogy.) was born on 5 Feb 1805 (Ibid.). She married Frederick Whiting Strong (27356) (Ibid.). She died on 13 Oct 1863 in Norwich, Windsor, Vermont, at age 58 (Ibid.) (FAG, online unknown url.).
In spite of what I feel are significant date problems, this Edward Fifield appears to be the most likely parent for Ruth. The locations make sense. The given name of Sarah for her mother in the Strong genealogy also does not match the known wife's name at Edward's death ([Strong Family Association of America], Strong genealogy, Page 521.).
236. PERLEY6 FIFIELD (1388) (Edward5, John4, Joseph3, Benjamin2, William1) was born circa 1793 in Salisbury, Hillsborough, N.H (1850 U. S. Federal Census Plainfield, Sullivan, N.H 1 June 1850.) (1860 U. S. Federal Census Plainfield, Sullivan, N.H 1 June 1860.); Averaged from age in 1850 and 1860 census records. He married Miriam Morgan (1389), daughter of Captain Nathaniel Morgan (25234), on 29 Jan 1820 in Cornish, Cheshire, N.H (NHVR,: No further information in record.). He died on 11 Jun 1863 (Probate File 304-a Sullivan co. intestate, debtors & children.); Perley died age 75 according to the History of Salisbury, which gives the date of death as June 11, 1863. However, the 1850 census gives his age as 56 which would make him about 69 in 1863. The 1860 census gives his age as 68. 9 children are assumed from those listed in the 1850 and 1860 census, there may be more. The given ages of the children make the census ages the more believable ones.
He died intestate. The petition for administration was signed by Charles P., Mary J., Sarah M. Morgan, Susan J. and Byron, a 'majority' of the surviving children. The estate was declared insolvent. Those claiming money owed included the above plus John Fifield, John Newton and Orrin Morgan. He died on 11 Jun 1864 in Raynesford Cemetery, Plainfield, Sullivan, N.H (Peter Fifield Wells, P. O. Box 152, Rindge, Cheshire, N.H. 03461-0152, 603-899-5460, As recorded at NH Historical Society.); Died age 74, but this is inconsistent with census records.
Children of Perley6 Fifield (1388) and Miriam Morgan (1389) were as follows:
-
i. JAMES7 (2176) was born circa 1822.
He appeared on the census of 1880 in San Joaquin, Calif (1880 U. S. Federal Census Census Place: San Joaquin, California
Source: FHL Film 1254080 National Archives Film T9-0080
Page 182A 1 June 1880.); Perhaps this is the right FIfield?
-
533. ii. EDWARD S. (2177) was born in 1824. He married Rosarah Spaulding (2178), daughter of Giles Spaulding (23740), on 2 Feb 1850 in Claremont, Sullivan, N.H. He died on 27 Apr 1864 in Plainfield, Sullivan, N.H. He was buried in Plainfield, Sullivan, N.H.

He died on 24 Jan 1871 at age 37 (Probate Files 4703-a and 4704-a Sullivan co. intestate - estate insolvent.) (Hood, Plainfield NH genealogy.); The Plainfield document says January 24, but admits it may have been 25. He died on 25 Jan 1871 in Raynesford Cemetery, Plainfield, Sullivan, N.H., at age 37 (Peter Fifield Wells, P. O. Box 152, Rindge, Cheshire, N.H. 03461-0152, 603-899-5460, As recorded at NH Historical Society.); Age 38. Probate records indicate his death in 1871, the same year as the death of his nephew Charles P. Only the death of the nephew is recorded in vital records! His estate was declared insolvent and widow Abby declined administration.
He appeared on the census of 1850 in Plainfield, Sullivan, N.H; The marriage record of Charles and Abby gives his age as 28 at that time; hers as 21. The 1850 census differs on his age by 3 years.

Harriet appears age 15 with her sister and mother in the 1850 census in Waterford, MI. The History of Van Buren county says she died soon after maturity (1850 U. S. Federal Census 1 June 1850.).
241. EDWARD6 FIFIELD (1203) (William5, Edward4, Edward3, Benjamin2, William1) was born on 29 Nov 1755 in East Kingston, provincial N.H (Eastman, Andover history, Page 157.). He was christened on 21 Dec 1755 in East Kingston, provincial N.H (Hosier, Kingston, N.H., Page 282, references Kingston church records.). He married Elizabeth Rowe (1204), daughter of Lieutenant John Rowe (23730) and Susan Scribner (23731), on 19 Nov 1787 in Andover, Hillsborough, N.H (Eastman, Andover history, Page 157, Genealogies.). He died on 21 Jun 1812 in Andover, Merrimack, N.H., at age 56 (Ibid.). He was buried in Old North Church Cemetery, Andover, Merrimack, N.H (Ancestry, online www.ancestry.com, Abstract of Graves of Revolutionary Patriots, Volume II; 4/30/98.) (Eastman, Andover history, page 343.).
Edward was reported to have been a Captain in the Revolutionary War at the age of 23. At age 20 he served in Captain Philip Tilton's co, Colonel Enoch Poor's Regiment. His pension record says that he was at the Battle of Bunker Hill between 1775 and 1776 ("Pension record", Revolutionary Pension records for Edward's former wife.). According to Hilton, History of Andover additions/corrections, Edward resided at Poultney, VT at one time and several of his children were born there (N.H. Corrections. History of Andover, Typescript manuscript.). He was warned out of Cornwall, Addison, Vermont, 24 Dec 1804 (Rollins, Vermont Warnings, Page 36.); While I have no proof, it seems most logical that this was the Edward warned out.
Children of Edward6 Fifield (1203) and Elizabeth Rowe (1204) were as follows:

BETTY6 FIFIELD (2105) (William5, Edward4, Edward3, Benjamin2, William1) was born in Oct 1758 ("Pension record", In the Revolutionary Pension records for her brother Edward, Betsey testified twice as to her age "last October."). She was christened on 22 Oct 1758 in East Kingston, provincial N.H. She married William Chase (6336) on 11 Feb 1783 in Hampton, Rockingham, N.H ( Vol 52 page 435, South Hampton church records.). She died in 1848.
According to the History of Salisbury, William Chase a native of Kingston married Betsey Fifield who died in 1848 aged 91. Betsey Chase testified on behalf of her brother's Revolutionary War pension application.
Children of Betty6 Fifield (2105) and William Chase (6336) were:

Perhaps this is the Anna Fifield in Kingston, pauper, with Shuah, in the 1850 census.Perhaps Shuah was an illegitimate daughter; she is otherwise unidentified (1850 U. S. Federal Census Kingston, Rockingham. N.H. page 135 1 June 1850.).
Children of Anna6 Fifield (2104) include:
-
i. SHUAH7 (24540) (NHVR,: Record gives her age as 79, birth in Kingston, single, no parents listed.) was born circa 1790 in Kingston, Rockingham, N.H (Ibid.). She died on 8 Nov 1869 in Brentwood, Rockingham, N.H (Ibid.).
244. SAMUEL6 FIFIELD (2879) (William5, Edward4, Edward3, Benjamin2, William1) was born on 14 Apr 1770 in Kingston, provincial N.H (Frisbie & Ruggles Joslin, History of Poultney VT (Poultney, VT: Poultney Journal Printing Office, 1875), Birthplace and date of Samuel given. Hereinafter cited as Poultney Vt.). He was christened on 15 Apr 1770 in East Kingston, provincial N.H.

The History of Poultney (VT), Joslin, Frisbie & Ruggles 1875, states that Samuel was born in Kingston NH April 14 1770 and came at age 21 or 22 to Poultney. Based on various Salisbury and Andover records and histories, plus the baptism record, I am confident that he was a son of William. Note also the son named William.
Samuel had 8 children, the first 2 died in infancy (History of Rutland County) ( Jamuary/April 2006, Vol. 23 #1-2 page 11.).
Children of Samuel6 Fifield (2879) and Charlotte Hamlin (2880) were as follows:

245. JOSIAH6 FIFIELD (841) (Samuel5, Edward4, Edward3, Benjamin2, William1) was born on 10 Oct 1763 in East Kingston, provincial N.H. He was christened on 22 Apr 1764 in East Kingston, provincial N.H (2nd Church of Christ, record at NH Historical, Church records.). He married Miriam (--?--) (4831) say 1785.

His estate was probated on 27 Jul 1807 in Fair Haven, Rutland, Vermont (Probate Fairhaven, Rutland, VT; book 6 pages 256ff. These records end with a further reference to book 7 page 124, but book 7 was one of several destroyed by fire.); Widow Mirriam and Samuel Fifield jointly posted bond of $10,000 for Mirriam to be administrator. The estate was appraised by John How, Esq; Major Asahel Pond & Calvin Tuttle. The inventory showed 119 1/2 acres of land, house, barn, cattle etc for a total value of $1608.01.
Much of the family of Josiah is assumed from entries in the Bible of Nancy Fifield of Poultney, VT which contains only five death records ( Jamuary/April 2006, Vol. 23 #1-2 page 11.). He appeared on the census of 1800 in Poultney, Rutland, Vermont (Heads of Families at the Second Census of the United States taken in the year 1800 Poultney, Rutland, Vt 4 Aug. 1800 The National Archives.); Poultney VT census records indicate several children for Josiah, both male and female. Three sons born 1790-1800 and two daughters, one born 1785-1790 and one born 1790-1800, appear likely.
Children of Josiah6 Fifield (841) and Miriam (--?--) (4831) were as follows:

(Newspaper obituary, , Vermont Gazette, 22 June 1824, in Orange 31st ult., Colonel Samuel Fifield.).
He lived in 1797 in Orange, Orange, Vermont; Samuel purchased land in Orange, VT on 10 March 1796 and moved there in 1797 as one of the first settlers immediately after marrying his second wife Sarah Davis. His first wife is unknown, apparently there were no children by her. Samuel stopped at New London, NH on his way home from Boston. Going through a door which he mistook for the office door he entered the cellar, falling down the stairs and breaking his leg. The leg set imperfectly, and he was forced to use crutches from that time on (Descendants of William Fifield, Typed manuscript, circa 1916 New England Historic Genealogical Society, Pages 48-49.).

-
vii. HARRIET NEWELL (865) was born on 1 Feb 1807 in Orange, Orange, Vermont (Ibid., Father Samuel named.).

Edward settled in Wheelock, VT in 1797 at about 21 years of age after purchasing land there. He moved to Ohio about 1815. Information on this part of the family comes from a genealogy done by descendant Henry Fifield of Montpelier VT. The 1850 census for Conneaut shows Sally 65, Luman 48, Sarah 32, James M. 28, Maria 23 (born NY, possibly wife of James) and Edward 7, Jane 5, Henry 6/12. Greenlief is also there with his family.
The Bean genealogy lists 12 children for Edward and Sally, by first name only and no dates, but apparently in correct order. James and Marcus are listed separately, but perhaps there was just James Marcus? It also says the first 7 children were born in Wheelock.
Edward was a Lieutenant Colonel in the War of 1812. In 1806 his father- in-law, Colonel John Bean of Wheelock, conveyed his Wheelock land to Edward who continued to run the home place as Fifield's Tavern.
Children of Colonel Edward6 Fifield (845) and Sally Bean (846) were as follows:

250. MOSES6 FIFIELD (1564) (David5, Benjamin4, Edward3, Benjamin2, William1) was born circa 1762 in Brentwood, Rockingham, N.H. He married Martha West (1565) before 1789. He died on 14 Jul 1821 in Bridgewater, Grafton, N.H (NHVR,: No further information on record.); His gravestone in OldHome Cemetery Bridgewater is not very readable, but appeared to indicate death at age 60 on July 14, 1822. NH vital records say 1821. He was buried in Old Home Cemetery, Bridgewater, Grafton, N.H.
He lived in 1814 in Bridgewater, Grafton, N.H; Moses came to Bridgewater about 1814, and had 3 sons and 6 daughters, according to available information. However, the early census data indicates a possible fourth son. Some information on his move and his family is found in the Grafton County Gazeteer 1709-1886, biographical sketches section.
Children of Moses6 Fifield (1564) and Martha West (1565) were as follows:
-
i. HANNAH7 (6307) was born on 6 Feb 1789. She married Timothy Sanborn (6308) on 10 Feb 1807 (William Edgar Wentworth, compiler, Vital Records 1790-1829 from Dover New Hampshire's First Newspaper (Camden, ME: Picton Press), Page 107, from Volume 12 #24 whole # 576, Saturday, 28 February 1807. In Brentwood, Mr. Timothy Sanborn of Kensington to Miss Hannah Fifield of Brentwood. Hereinafter cited as Dover Newspapers.).
-
571. ii. ELIZABETH (2485) was born on 18 Nov 1790. She married Amos Tucker (2486), son of Joseph Tucker (24919) and Alice Sanborn (24920), on 7 Sep 1814 in Exeter, Rockingham, N.H. She died on 7 Sep 1861 in Penacook, Merrimack, N.H., at age 70.

-
v. LYDIA (24830) (1860 U. S. Federal Census Bridgewater, Grafton, N.H. - Martha Fifield is living with Lydia and family next to other family members! 1 June 1860.) (Ibid.) was born circa 1799 (Ibid.). She married Martin Boardman (24831) (Ibid.).
-
vi. MARY (19564) was born circa 1801 in Brentwood, Rockingham, N.H; The marriage record says she was born in Bridgewater, but I deem this to be incorrect. She married Anagood E. Kitteridge (19565) on 4 Mar 1822 (NHVR.); Wallace Lock, Clergyman. I assume that Mary was one of the daughters of Moses based on the fact that her marriage record says she was born in Bridgewater.
Perhaps married 2nd Samuel Worthing ca. 1831 (1860 U. S. Federal Census Bridgewater, Grafton, N.H. - Samuel and Mary Worthing living near other Fifield family members; daughters named Sarah F. and Lydia 1 June 1860.).
-

He died on 14 Apr 1884 in Bridgewater, Grafton, N.H., at age 77. He was buried in Bridgewater, Grafton, N.H.
251. LYDIA6 FIFIELD (1562) (David5, Benjamin4, Edward3, Benjamin2, William1) was born on 1 Jan 1774 in Brentwood, Rockingham, N.H (Ibid., Parents given as David and Betty.). She married Ebenezer Sanborn (1563) on 30 Aug 1796 in Brentwood, Rockingham, N.H (NHVR.).
Children of Lydia6 Fifield (1562) and Ebenezer Sanborn (1563) were:
-
i. LYDIA7 (24825) (Ibid., Record names parents, birthplaces, died of old age at 79.) (Ibid.) was born circa 1803 in Brentwood, Rockingham, N.H (NHVR,: Record names parents, birthplaces, died of old age at 79.); died age 79. She married Samuel Morrill (24827) (1880 U. S. Federal Census Census Place: Brentwood, Rockingham, New Hampshire
Source: FHL Film 1254767 National Archives Film T9-0767 Page 21B 1 June 1880.). She died on 13 Oct 1882 in Brentwood, Rockingham, N.H (NHVR,: Record names parents, birthplaces, died of old age at 79.).
252. JOSEPH6 MERRILL (7581) (Sarah5 Fifield, Benjamin4, Edward3, Benjamin2, William1) was born on 9 Jul 1777 ("The Decendants of William Fifield."). He married Mary Neal (7582) circa 1805.
Children of Joseph6 Merrill (7581) and Mary Neal (7582) were as follows:
-
i. ALBERT NEAL7 (7591) was born in 1806 (Letter, to Peter F. Wells, Pedigree chart from Howard W. Merrill of Stillwater ME dated 20 Feb 1992.).
-
575. ii. JOSEPH HUBARTUS (7583) was born circa 1808. He married Mary T. Davis (7584).
-
iii. MARY ELIZABETH (7592) was born in 1810 (Ibid.).
-

-
v. MARY SMITH (7594) was born in 1817 (Ibid.).
-
vi. SARAH E. (7595) was born in 1821 (Ibid.).
253. RICHARD6 FIFIELD (3238) (Jonathan5, Jonathan4, Edward3, Benjamin2, William1) was born say 1769 (The New Hampshire Genealogical Record Volume 21 #1, January 2004.). He married Esther Lane (3239), daughter of Samuel Lane (25134), circa 1796. He died before 1840; Appears in 1830 census but not 1840.
He lived in 1796 in Hampton Falls, Rockingham, N.H (N.H. Town Records : Volume 2 page 283, Hampton Falls.); Elected Surveyor of Highways. He appeared on the census of 1810; Richard appears in Hampton in the 1810 census with his family, and the History of Hampton Falls says that he moved to Piermont in 1816 where his descendants still live. Data from the 1850 census plus gravestone information in Piermont shows that his oldest son was undoubtedly George Washington the next oldest David, and one of his younger sons was Jonathan. The similarity of names (George, Jonathan) tends to confirm that he was associated with George of Hampton Falls. However, I suspect he was the son of George's brother Jonathan, based on his apparent age (census and age of wife) plus the naming of second son David, perhaps after his brother, son of Jonathan. He would be very difficult to fit into the family of George logically.
The stones of Esther, Rhoda, Jonathan and Sophia are all together. In the 1850 census Rhoda and George are adjacent, David and Sophia are with Esther. Richard also appears in Piermont in the 1830 census.
While in Hampton Falls Richard served as Surveyor of Highways for several years starting as early as 1796, was juror in 1797, petit juror in 1811. He and son Washington were first taxed in Piermont in 1818. He lived in 1814 in Hampton Falls, Rockingham, N.H (N.H. Town Records : Volume 2 page 495.); Registered as a voter. He lived in 1818 in Piermont, Grafton, N.H (N.H. Town Records : Volume 2 page 470.); Taxed.
Children of Richard6 Fifield (3238) and Esther Lane (3239) were as follows:
-
576. i. GEORGE WASHINGTON7 (3240) was born circa 1797. He married Anna Tarbox (3241), daughter of William Tarbox (24573) and Lydia Irwin (24574), on 10 Apr 1823 in Piermont, Grafton, N.H. He died on 4 Apr 1856 in Piermont, Grafton, N.H. He was buried in Piermont, Grafton, N.H.
-
ii. DAVID (3243) was born on 25 Feb 1800 in Hampton, Rockingham, N.H. He died on 28 Feb 1884 in Wentworth, Grafton, N.H., at age 84 (NHVR,: Record names parents, places of birth & death, age as 84,-,3.).
David appears with Esther at age 51 in the 1850 census. His death recorded in NH vital records confirms his parents. There is no indication of any descendants.
-
iii. SOPHIA (3244) was born circa 1802. She died on 14 Jan 1870 (Peter Fifield Wells, P. O. Box 152, Rindge, Cheshire, N.H. 03461-0152, 603-899-5460, Piermont NH - died age 67, near Esther, wife of Richard.). She was buried in Piermont, Grafton, N.H.
Sophia appears with her mother in the 1850 census. Apparently she never married.
-
577. iv. HULDA (6357) was born say 1804. She married Thomas Wolcott Dana (6358) on 28 Dec 1826 in Piermont, Grafton, N.H. She died on 28 Aug 1850 in Wentworth, Grafton, N.H. She was buried on 24 Nov 1912 in East Side Cemetery, Wentworth, Grafton, N.H.
-
v. RHODA (3245) was born circa 1804. She died on 18 Feb 1856 (Ibid., Piermont NH, age 67, buried near Esther, wife of Richard.). She was buried in Piermont, Grafton, N.H.
Rhoda's headstone indicates that she died age 40. This conflicts with both the 1810 and 1850 census information; I believe age 50 would be accurate.
-
578. vi. ELIZABETH NASON (3650) was born on 25 May 1806 in Hampton Falls, Rockingham, N.H. She married John Minard Bixby (3651) on 24 Jan 1830 in Piermont, Grafton, N.H. She died on 13 Oct 1892 in Piermont, Grafton, N.H., at age 86.
-
vii. JONATHAN (3246) was born circa 1809. He died on 8 Jan 1872 (Probate Grafton co. intestate administration, named 2 brothers, 1 sister.). He was buried in Piermont, Grafton, N.H.
Jonathan is buried with the other relatives of Richard. I suspect he appears in the 1840 Piermont census and there is no indication of any family. Probate records show that he died intestate with no wife or children. His estate was administered by brothers David and Richard, and sister Elizabeth Bixby.
-
579. viii. RICHARD (3308) was born on 26 May 1809 in Hampton, Rockingham, N.H. He married Sally Ann Emery (3309) on 15 Apr 1834 in Beverly, Essex, Mass. He died on 30 Dec 1880 in Salem, Essex, Mass., at age 71.
254. BENJAMIN6 FIFIELD (5474) (Jonathan5, Jonathan4, Edward3, Benjamin2, William1) was born in 1774 (Alfred Noon, compiler, Ludlow : a century and a centennial, comprising a sketch of the history of the town of Ludlow, Hampden county, Massachusetts (Springfield, Mass: Clark W. Bryant Company, 1912), Page 392. Hereinafter cited as Ludlow, MA history.). He married Sally Bachelder (5496) on 26 Feb 1801 in Loudon, Rockingham, N.H (NHVR,: No additonal information given.). He died on 3 Jan 1820 in Gilmanton, Strafford, N.H (Probate Strafford co., intestate administration of will.).
This assignment to Jonathan is a reasonable assumption based on the 1790-1810 census figures for Northfield NH and the assumption that Jonathan ended up there. The death of his presumed son Benjamin in Belmont gave only the initials of his parents as B and S, and his birthplace as Northfield.
Strafford county probate records show that inventory was taken on June 2 1820 of the estate of Benjamin Fifield of Gilmanton, who died intestate. Sally Fifield was appointed administratrix on 24 March of that year. Accounting on September 5, 1822, included support for a daughter Huldah under 7 years of age.
The History of Ludlow, MA, compiled by Alfred Noon in 1912, also discussed the family of Benjamin although it gives the discrepant date of 1859 for his death and refers to Sally as Abigail.
Children of Benjamin6 Fifield (5474) and Sally Bachelder (5496) were as follows:
-
580. i. NASON7 (6493) was born in 1801. He married Eliza Damon (6495), daughter of Asa Damon (25173) and Catherine Wright (25174), in Apr 1829 in Ludlow, Hampden, Mass. He died in 1859.
-
581. ii. BENJAMIN (5467) was born in Feb 1803 in Northfield, Rockingham, N.H. He married Theodate B. Mudgett (5468), daughter of Edward Mudgett (24454) and Mary Clifford (24455), on 12 Sep 1829 in Gilmanton, Strafford, N.H. He died on 12 Aug 1879 in Belmont, Belknap, N.H., at age 76.
-
iii. SALLY (24710) (MAVR,: Lowell 383:136, born Belmont, N.H., age 82,9,_, heart disease.) (Ibid.) was born circa Oct 1804 in Gilmanton, Strafford, N.H (MAVR,: Lowell 383:136, born Belmont, N.H., age 82,9,_, heart disease.); The 1810 census for Benjamin in Northfield shows a daughter in this age range. She died on 7 Jul 1887 in Lowell, Middlesex, Mass (MAVR,: Lowell 383:136.); Heart disease, age 82 years 9 months, born Belmont, N.H.
-
582. iv. IRA (6494) was born on 24 May 1809 in Gilmanton, Belknap, N.H. He married Mary F Billings (6496) circa 1838. He died on 24 Dec 1884 in Leeds, Ontario, Canada, at age 75. He was buried in Old Presbyterian Cemetery, Newboro, Leeds and Grenville United, Ontario, Canada.
-
583. v. HULDAH (5597) was born circa 1814. She married James Hoit (2200) circa May 1822 in Gilmanton, Belknap, N.H.
255. ABRAHAM6 SANBORN (20813) (Miriam5 Fifield, Jonathan4, Edward3, Benjamin2, William1) ("The Decendants of William Fifield.") (Ibid.) was born on 1 Oct 1787 (Ibid.).
Children of Abraham6 Sanborn (20813) and Sarah (--?--) (26888) were:
-

256. DOROTHY6 SLEEPER (20661) (Martha5 Fifield, Jonathan4, Edward3, Benjamin2, William1) ("The Decendants of William Fifield.") (Ibid.) was born on 25 Nov 1769 (Ibid.). She married Benjamin Batchelor (20662) on 17 Apr 1787 (Ibid.). She died in Belmont, Waldo, Maine (E-mail message, e-mail to Peter Fifield Wells, Sherry Norton, [email protected], 6 June 1999.).

He married Sally Fogg (1601), daughter of David Fogg (25198) and Patience (--?--) (25199). He married Sarah Brown (1600), daughter of John Brown (25147), on 11 Mar 1801 in Seabrook, Rockingham, N.H (Ibid., No further information in record.). He died in 1818 (Probate Jonathan's will was processed in 1818.).
Children of Jonathan6 Fifield (1599) and Sally Fogg (1601) were as follows:
-
i. GEORGE7 (2481) was born after 1796. He died in Dec 1844.
George was unmarried. He was a minor when his father died in 1818.
In his will George left his estate to niece Mary Fifield, daughter of Clarissa, and Clarissa herself. Mary was under 18 years of age. There was a petition to re-examine probate of the will; under that re-examination it was determined that George was of legal age and competent when he wrote it. However, probate records also show Joshua Janvrin being appointed as guardian over him due to excessive drinking, idleness and other "vicious" habits.
-
585. ii. SOPHRONIA L. (2482) was born circa 1815 in Maine. She married Lemuel E. Caswell (27543) circa 1845.
-

260. SALLY6 FIFIELD (1608) (George5, Jonathan4, Edward3, Benjamin2, William1) was born on 16 Mar 1788 in Hampton Falls, Rockingham, N.H (NHVR,: Parents given as George and Mary Marston.). She married David Chase (6137) on 2 Feb 1807 in Seabrook, Rockingham, N.H (Ibid., No further information in the record.) (Brown, Hampton Falls History, Libby says a daughter married David Chase.) (J. C. & Chamberlain, G. W. Chase, Seven generations of the descendants of Aquila and Thomas Chase (Derry, N.H. [Haverhill, Mass.]: Record Publishing Company, 1928). Hereinafter cited as Chase genealogy.). She died on 14 Sep 1852 at age 64 (Ibid.).

-
i. CHARLES F7 (24307) (NHVR,: died age 74 years 8 months, blood poisoning, farmer, parents David Chase and Sarah Fifield.) (Ibid.) was born circa Jul 1813 in Kensington, Rockingham, N.H (Ibid.). He died on 16 Mar 1888 in Hampton, Rockingham, N.H (Ibid.).
261. EDWARD6 FIFIELD (1527) (Nathaniel5, John4, Edward3, Benjamin2, William1) was born on 6 Nov 1763 in Salisbury, Essex, Mass (Ibid., Parents recorded as Nathaniel 23 and Janet Cilley 18, 1st child.). He married Polly Moore (1528) circa 1784. He married Catherine Budge (4272), daughter of James Budge (23734) and Margaret Smart (23735), on 4 Jul 1811 (Ruth Gray, editor, Maine Families in 1790 (n.p.: n.pub.). Hereinafter cited as Maine Families in 1790.). He died on 7 Apr 1840 in Garland, Penobscot, Maine, at age 76.
According to the History of Weare Edward removed to Maine. NH vital records for the marriage of his son Robert S. in 1835 confirm this. The 1800 census for Weare indicates that he had 5 each sons and daughters as of that time.
The History of Garland, ME says that in 1804 Edward Fifield came from 'Ware' NH, started a homestead, then went back and brought his family. It also says that Mrs. Polly Fifield, his wife, died in 1809. Therefore it seems clear that this is the Edward that was the source of the Garland/Corinna/Dexter area Maine Fifields.
Penobscot Co. probate records show the appointment of a guardian for Sumner, a minor over 14 of Bradford and son and heir of Edward of Corinna. Isaac E. of Bradford was the guardian appointed in August of 1847, indicating the death of Edward at that time. This also confirms that Edward remarried, given the death date of his first wife, so the Charlotte, born 1801, wife of Edward buried in Dexter is likely his second wife and the father of the additional children indicated by various records and not the wife of a namesake son.
In 1827 there are land transfers in Weare for Samuel Stillman Fifield, a son of Edward (Hillsboro co. book 152 pages 60 & 203.).

Joseph removed to Bath NH and apprenticed himself to John Haddock at the age of 16 (Inhabitants of Bath - an address by Rev. David Sutherland, Bath NH history). He died age 85 (headstone & NH vital records).
It appears from probate records that he married second Lucinda, as she was named executor as his wife to Joseph who died 1872 in Bath, and James S., Daniel S., John and daughter Fanny R. Kaufman are named in the records. The 1830 census shows more children in the family than are recorded in the vital records, so I have added Daniel, John and Fanny.

Box 152, Rindge, Cheshire, N.H. 03461-0152, 603-899-5460, Bath NH - Mary Fifield, wife of Gould French 1810-1859.)

-
iv. JOSEPH (3252) was born on 12 Oct 1817 (Ibid., Father given as Joseph, 4th child.). He died on 7 Jun 1861 at age 43; Very questionable!
A Joseph Fifield age 33 appeared with a James S. age 35 in El Dorado CA in the 1850 census. Perhaps this is the Joseph along with his brother James Swan? Joseph must therefore have returned home later.
His date of death is per a letter from Mary Viola Fifield in the Sullivan probate records.

The Cowles genealogy speaks of Elbridge Gerry Fifield, son of Samuel, born in Gilmanton 1817, moved to Bolton VT 1820, and to Wisconsin in 1837.

Hereinafter cited as Coburn/Colburn genealogy.); The Colburn genealogy claims a marriage year of 1825, but this would appear to be inaccurate. He died before 1851.
Children of David6 Fifield (1376) and Lucy Colburn (6470) were as follows:
-
i. STEPHEN G.7 (6337) was born circa 1819 in Sheffield, Caledonia, Vermont; There are no Fifield vital records recorded in Sheffield, Caledonia, Vermont. He married Mehitable Hodgman (24619), daughter of Abraham Hodgman (24620), before 1850 (Newspaper obituary, , Farmer's Cabinet dated 22 feb 1860.) (1850 U. S. Federal Census Nashua, Hillsborough, N.H 1 June 1850.). He died on 1 Sep 1888 in Whitefield, Lincoln, Maine (Augustus D. Ayling, Revised Register of the Soldiers and Sailors of New Hampshire in the War of the Rebellion 1861-1866 (Concord, N.H.: Ira C. Evans, 1895), Page 422. Hereinafter cited as NH Civil War Register.). He was buried in Togus National Cemetery, Togus, Kennebec, Maine (FAG, online unknown url, Memorial #2867606.); 13TH URC CO E 8TH NH, Plot: C 678.
He began military service on 4 Nov 1861 in Nashua, Hillsborough, N.H (Ayling, NH Civil War Register, Page 422.); Enlisted in the 8th Regiment N.H. Volunteers, giving his age as 38 (Ayling incorrectly says 28, his military record says 38.) Description - 5 feet 5 inches tall, dark complexion, black eyes, dark hair, occupation farmer. He ended military service on 4 May 1863 in New Orleans, Orleans, Loisiana (Ayling, NH Civil War Register, Page 422.); discharged disabled; malaria and chronic rheumatism. Reenlisted, but name was not taken up on any roll; enlistment paper reports disability at date of enlistment due to chronic diarrhea on 9 Jul 1864 in Boston, Suffolk, Mass ("Pension record", National Archives pension record 233325, Stephen G. Fifield.). Received a rupture, both sides, while marching double time during drill when he fell attempting to jump over a ditch and applied for disability due to the ruptures. One document in his record is from David F. Moore M.D. who testified that he was the family physician in Loudon NH for more than 5 years prior to Stephen's enlistment, through the year 1861, and knew Stephen there.
The only family in Loudon in 1860 per the census was descendants of Willard. A David Fifield was in Sheffield VT in 1820. A possible conclusion is that Stephen Fifield, father of Willard, had more offspring than just Willard (confirmed by early census records); the David in Sheffield was a descendant of one of those, and Stephen G. Fifield was the son of that David as Stephen was born in Sheffield. Stephen applied for a disability pension on 14 Jan 1876 in Kennebec, Maine (Ibid.). He was described as 5 feet 6 1/2 inches tall, light complexion, weight 133 pounds, age 65 (report of examining surgeons) on 6 Aug 1879 in Augusta, Kennebec, Maine (Ibid.).

-
iii. LUTHERA (6480) was born circa 1831 in Vermont. She married John P. Perry (11001) on 10 Oct 1861 in Nashua, Hillsborough, N.H (NHVR.); I assume this to be the correct Luthera Fifield.

302. WILLIAM6 FIFIELD (3202) (Daniel5, Stephen4, Henry3, William2, William1) was born circa 1797 in N.H; The parents of William are unknown. One theory is that he was the son of Daniel and Mary. A family Bible says that his mother was named Mary, and because of that, Daniel appears to be a reasonable candidate for father. However, William did not appear with Daniel in the Vermont warnings out. He married Nancy Bedell (5198) in 1824. He died on 25 Mar 1842; William's date of death is from his headstone as supplied by Carol Nedeau, historian of Mooers, NY.

He lived in 1830 in Plattsburgh, Clinton, New York.

(findagrave, online www.findagrave.com, Memorial #46116698.). He married Sarah Elizabeth (Sally) Fisher (3315), daughter of Jeremiah Fisher (27482) and Jessie? (--?--) (27548). He died on 21 Jul 1865 in Oakland, Michigan, at age 66 (Ibid.). He was buried in Mount Pleasant Cemetery, Stratham, Oakland, Michigan (Ibid.).

"F. B. Fifiled [sic], who died Peru, Chautauqua county, this week, was 94 years
old and had lived in Kansas since 1874. Mr Fifield cast his first vote in New
York in 1831, and one year later voted for Henry Clay for President against
Andrew Jackson who was in that year elected for a second term. since then Mr.
Fifield has voted for the following Presidential candidates: Harrison in 1836
and 1840; Henry Clay, 1844; Zachary Taylor, 1848; . . .[the list goes on]
Uncle Fred Fifield located in Spring Creek township upon arriving here in 1874,
together with his wife and sons, Earl, Marvin and Elmer; and removed to
Westmoreland in the early '80s. The wife died here, and after awhile he, with
his son Elmer and family, removed to southern Kansas. He was born in November,
1810, which made him 94 years and 3 months old at the time of his death. He
was a peculiar man; for instance, he thought that the drinking of water was
simply a habit, and should be done away with for the good of the health. He
declared to us just a short while before leaving here that 'I do not think I
have drank a pint of water in eight years.' When asked as to how he got along
on so small amount of liquid matter, replied that he drank a cup of tea at each
meal and would not allow himself to drink between meals. Uncle Fred was a
genial, whole-souled old man, without an enemy so far as we have knowledge and
there are a lot of folks hereabouts who will learn of his death with profound
sorrow." on 3 Mar 1905 in Westmoreland Signal, Westmoreland, Pottawatomie, Kansas.

The story of Andrew is told in the History of Bradford, VT. He was the subject of a lost child hunt.
While I have some confidence that this Andrew removed to the Bolton area of P.Q. and had the indicated family there, I have not been able to find any proof. There is the slight possibility that the apparent Andrew who was there was the son of the Josiah who was in the Albany, Vt area and had a son in the appropriate age range. Josiah was the son of Edward and there is an Edward in Andrew's apparent family. However, note also the presence of Absolam, perhaps after the brother of the presumed Andrew, plus Daniel, perhaps after his father. Andrew served in the Vermont Militia, 2nd Regiment (Fifield's), in the War of 1812. He appeared on the census of 1830 in Topsham, Orange, Vermont.

The Register of NH Soldiers in the War of the Rebellion by Ayling says that George W., born Dorchester, age 18, residence Enfield, enlisted September 2, 1861 and died disabled November 9, 1861 at Bladensburg, MD.

(Ibid.) was born on 9 Mar 1803 in Grafton, N.H (Vermont Vital Records,: Daughter of Jonathan and Susannah (Quimby) Fifield.); Her death record claims birth in Hanover, N.H.; but this is unlikely.

Information on Eliphalet and his family is from Thetford VT headstones and the Thetford Historical Society, which has an extensive file on him and his descendants plus other Fifields. Their files say that he was born in Dorchester of Reuben and Mary Healey. However, Reuben and Mary did not marry until after the given date of Eliphalet's birth, and the 1820 census does not support the presence of Eliphalet (although the 1830 census does). Further, Reuben was consistently in Salisbury from 1820 through 1840. Reuben makes no mention of Eliphalet in his will.
Children of Eliphalet6 Fifield (1305) and Laura A. Carpenter (1302) were as follows:
