Notes

"Census records indicate that he was born prior to 1755. He was active in the Yadkin Grove Baptist Church, holding the office of clerk and later that of deacon. Jesse Boone, a brother of Daniel Boone took over the clerk duties from Thomas.

In 1790 Thomas Fields and one son are indicated that are over 16 years of age. This would indicate that Thomas' oldest son, William was born before 1774 (This son would be Reuben, who was older according to his own Census records for his household and according to Census Record for William in his household he was born between 1775-1874).

There was also one son under 16, which would be Reuben (William, not Reuben) and 5 females which would include wife Betty and four daughters.

The 1800 census indicates 2 free white males between 16 and 25 (only Reuben was known to be in this age group) years old and 1 free white male 25 to 44 years old. This would indicate that Thomas was born after 1756. It also showed 1 free white female 16 to 25 years of age, 1 free white female 26 to 44 years of age and one free white female over 45 years of age. If we assume that Betty was the free white female over 45 years of age she would have been born prior to 1755. This would leave Polly and Winne (one over 25 and one 25 or under) still at home.

Thomas left a will dated 10 January 1807 and probated February term 1807 which named his wife Betty and children, William Fields, Jane Compton, Reuben Fields, Betsy Pendley, Winnifred Humphrey, Polly Humphrey, and Sally Pendley.

Executors were wife Betty Fields, sons William Fields and Reuben Fields and trusty friend Eli Coffey. Witnesses were William Lenoir, Lewis Coffey, and Jonathan Boone.

The trusty friend Eli Coffey was Betty's nephew. Witness Lewis Coffey was also a relative of Betty. Jonathan Boone was a brother of Daniel Boone. He and another brother, Jesse Boone were members of the Yadkin Grove Baptist Church, as were several members of the Fields and Coffey families. Daniel Boone himself had lived in Wilkes County, North Carolina but had already moved away, moving first into Kentucky and later to Missouri."
