No, I have not, but it does make good sense that it would have been Fielding, if not Frederick his brother.
But whomever it was, I feel sure it was someone closely related. I just wish it gave an age then we could figure it out.
Andrew Fielding his son, would have been getting up some age by then but he was always Andy I think.
Frederick is listed as a Lt. with Sterling Price in the 1889 Goodspeeds I believe it is called. I never checked on him through a Civil War site.
But I know Frederick was supposed to have brought Sterling Price by Fielding's house when they came back from their ride up north.
Fielding died in prison listed as Lt. with the 1st Arkansas. I do realize that in such times, it could have been one and the same, and I actually lean toward it having been Fielding with the group.
I feel sure there was a family Bible and all of that kind of stuff, but one of the own children of Polly Guthrie Price surely got that-perhaps Andy.
Andy's family did fairly well when Andy was sane and things were going pretty well as I think his wife was a stable sort who managed well. I got that from one of their descendents. According to what I was told, Andy could really go off the deep end. I think he was what we call manic depressive. The Dr. Hoyt Price, who commissioned the family history that the White County Historical Society has, was one of Andy's descendents. Andy's aunt had been that way with some mental problems and I think perhaps one of Andy's children was too.
My great grandmother Mary Ann was only her grandchild, not a child, and she and her family were over in Lonoke County by the time that Polly Price died. I know that because Polly got the one payment a widow's pension of $25 in 1897 and Mary Ann Harper's family entered Lonoke County in 1894 when my grandfather was 6. By having listened to lots of old stories, I could figure out a lot of things.
Thanks a bunch for thanking of me. Anytime you find something like that and share it, I always greatly appreciate it.
