> THOMAS FIELDS
>
> Thomas Fields,
> the elder son of Ebenezer and Sarah (Burden) Fields was born the
> 4th of May 1809, Bourbon County, Kentucky. Thomas’s Oregon Donation Claim say’s
> he was born in Ohio, but other records indicate that he was born in Bourbon
> County, Kentucky. His siblings were Betsy, Dorcas, Peggy, James, Lizey, Ebenezer
> Jr., Stephen and Eldridge. All the children except Stephen and Eldridge were
> born in Kentucky and they were born in Ray County, Missouri.
>
> Ebenezer and family removed to Missouri about 1815, which they may
> have came by the Tennessee River to the Ohio River, then the Mississippi River
> as that’s the route most of the pioneers from Kentucky came to
> Missouri.
>
> The family settled in Crooked River Township, Ray County, Missouri
> after a short stay in Howard County, Missouri where some of the Fields that had came to
> Missouri before they did.
>
> Thomas Fields
> married Rebecca Riggs, daughter of Thomas & Leah (Hunt) Riggs, January
> 1st 1829 in Ray County, Missouri. They had eight
> children, William, Harvey, John, Eliza, Reuben, Nancy Jane, Preston and Thomas
> Newton while in Ray County, Missouri.
>
> When the Heatherly War of 1836 started, Thomas Fields joined Mathew T
> Long’s outfit that commanded a Militia Company from Ray County, Missouri
> formally called Longs Independent Company, Missouri Mounted Militia, War of
> 1832.
>
> Shortly before or after Thomas Fields father, Ebenezer died in
> 1847, Thomas had decided to go west to the wild frontier and the promise of
> free land. His wife Rebecca’s parents
> had left for Oregon in 1846 where Rebecca’s father Thomas Riggs died on the way
> on Oregon Trail near the Iowa Point.
>
> According to records, each pioneer heading out west, loaded their
> wagon with a grub box with a lid, that each wagon had that sat in the front of
> the wagon. At the end of this box was a place for the Dutch oven, coffee pot and
> kettle that were packed in a sack. There was usually a outside box attached to
> the front of the wagon bed for halters, hobbles, rope, axe, shovel, hammer,
> chain, bell, a rack for the guns, a small keg with a lid in which was their
> drinking water. They put their frying
> pans, water bucket and a kettle at the rear of the wagon. They hung their tar
> buckets for greasing the wheels beneath the wagon. Their food they bought was
> flour, beans, sugar, coffee, lard, ham and bacon that had been cured, corn meal,
> dried fruit, molasses, butter, vegetables, homemade soap, salt and medicine.
> Each wagon. Each wagon team had at least four oxen’s, a couple horses and a
> couple milk cows.
>
> After getting their wagon ready for the trip out west, Thomas Fields and family joined the
> Nathaniel Bowman Company at Caples Landing, twelve miles above St. Joseph,
> Missouri May 2, 1847. They crossed the Big Blue on May
> 8th and came into the Independence road the next day,
> arriving on the evening of May 16, at the head of the Little Blue River. Before
> reaching Fort Laramie, Wyoming, the company split up into three
> divisions.

>
> In

> In

> up.
>
> In
> the evening time they’d play their guitars, fiddles, singing, and dancing.
> They’d have a lit campfire that they’d gather around and visit.

> On
