T he Fields family can be traced from North Carolina from 1790 to Maury County, Tennessee where they settled before 1818. The most likey (but unproven) migration route was probably from Pennsylvania down the Great Wagon Road to the piedmont of Virginia then to North Carolina and then west through the Cumberland Gap to middle Tennessee. There is a Davie Fields listed in the tax rolls of Pittsylvania County, VA 1767 who may be related. They may have lived in Kentucky prior to Tennessee. Later, one branch resided in Missouri and then Arkansas. By 1870 two branchs of the Fields family were in Texas (Anderson County, Jack County, Navarro County). The Fields are of Celtic descent and most likely came to America prior to the Revolutionary War from the United Kingdom.
