Brother of Sally and son of Richard Fields and Elizabeth Murrell. Elizabeth and 
Thomas moved to Wilkes Co., N.C. Thomas was active in the Yadkin Baptist 
Church, holding the office of clerk and later that of deacon. His will in 1807 
listed wife Betty and the following children: James Crumpton, William Fields, 
Reuben Fields, Betsy Penley, Winifred Humphrey, Polly Humphrey, and Sally 
Penley. Presumably the first "child" is a son-in-law, and all children were by 
Elizabeth Coffey. (Source-Graves Genealogy)
