Notes:

One reason it's very difficult to find correct info on his wife and her parents is because so many records were destroyed in Ireland. Then you have children with the same or similar names - born to cousins with same or similar names, but in different locations.

Another reason is because people show her being born in Maryland, which is incorrect. That's the birthplace of her parents, but there's also other Nancy Noland's who were born in Maryland about 1751...which only added to the confusion.

From what i could gather (on Nancy Noland) is that her parents never lived in Virginia, and Nancy was not born there. She was born in South Carolina.

It took me awhile but i believe what i have is correct.

Fields History, Family Crest & Coats of Arms

The ancestors of the Fields surname lived among the ancient Anglo-Saxon culture. The name comes from when they lived in the area that was near a field. This surname is a topographic name and is derived from the Old English word feld, which literally means the pasture or open country.

In this case, the bearer of the surname Fields lived in an area of land that was cleared of forest.

Interestingly, "Field, or De la Felda embraces both English and Norman families. Richard de la Felda is mentioned in Normandy, temp John." [reign 1199-1216] This duality of origin is indeed rare.

Early Origins of the Fields Family

The surname Fields was first found in many shires and counties throughout Britain. Some of the earliest records show: Thomas atte Felde in the Writs of Parliament of 1301; William de la Felde in Gloucestershire during reign of King Edward I; and John de la Felde in Herefordshire at about the same time. The Hundredorum Rolls of 1273 list Linot ate [atte] Feld and William a la Feld in Oxfordshire.

Robert de Felde was listed as a Templar in Gloucestershire in 1185 and Hugo de la Felde was listed in the Pipe Rolls of Bedfordshire in 1188. John del Feld was listed in Suffolk in 1190 and James atte Felde was listed in the Subsidy Rolls of Sussex in 1296.

Fields Spelling Variations

Before English spelling was standardized a few hundred years ago, spelling variations of names were a common occurrence. Elements of Latin, French and other languages became incorporated into English through the Middle Ages, and name spellings changed even among the literate. The variations of the surname Fields include Field, Feild, Felde and others.
