Fields family link confirmed!!

February 12, 2014
There has been many years of dispute of whether John Fields ( born 1763 / died in Perry County Kentucky ) was related to the Davis / David Fields line. Well, this has now been confirmed with DNA, as i match 2 of David / Davis Fields descendants. I have had a theory on this for a few years, but people disputed it every step of the way. John mentions his brother Stephen in his revolutionary war pension, and Stephens father was David, so it appears with DNA that this is also the same family, with David being Johns father. I just hope this information gets out to other descendants of John, as he has been a mystery to so many people over the years.
