FIELD, KELLY, SLAUGHTER -
Trying to tie my Jane Field born about 1785 in VA, married George Kelly 2/17/1803 in Culpeper by Fredrick Kabler. Jane and George Kelly moved to Ohio and Daviess County Kentucky by 1805, and alway lived near other Field families, mostly Captain Benjamin Field and his children by Mildred Slaughter. Would love to prove a relationship between Jane Field and Captain Benjamin Field. She would have been about 5 years old when he married Mildred Slaughter. Jane named her children: Benjamin, Mildred, Jemima, Ruth,Harriett, Elizabeth, Agnes, Mary "Polly", Barnett, Thomas and George W.. Some of these are definitely Field names. Thanks for any help!
