Dear Madam: 

You are advised that it appears from the Revoluntionary War records of
this bureau that William Fields served five or six months as a private
in Captain Knox's company, Colonel Moore's North Carolina regiment and
was in the battle of Stone where he received a gunshot wound of the right
arm just below the elbow, the bone being broken. This wound rendered him
unfit for military service.

On account of disability resulting from said wound, he was pensioned by
the United States from March 4, 1809. It is stated that he was previously
pensioned by the State of North Carolina.

In 1832 he was living in Scott County, Virginia, having moved from North
Carolina, possibly Cumberland County.

He died February 8, 1854 in Scott County, Virginia. His age is not given.

Soldier married in August, 1808 (marriage bond dated August 8, 1808) in
Russell County, Virginia, Miss Elizabeth (or Betsey) Elliott. One Michael
Elliott signed the marriage bond (by mark), but no relationship is stated.

Said Elizabeth Fields was living in Scott County, Virginia in 1855, aged
eighty-four years.

They reared a family of children, several of whom were living in 1856,
but no names are stated.
