My Gt. Gt. Gt. Grandfather Was William Jason Fields, who recruited and commanded Fields Partisan Rangers until he was wounded and captured in 1863. I know nothing about the circumstances of his capture but it may have been at Mt. Sterling KY in July 1863. I say this because I recently discovered (on Ancestry) of one of his men who was wounded and captured at that time and, like Fields, was taken to Louisville, Columbus, and finally the Deleware Gap Prison Camp. Fields later died there of a typhoid epidemic. The family knew nothing of this until his Grandson, also named William Jason Fields, used the federal records to discover his burial place. Its's actually a Federal Park in New Jersey across the bay from the camp which was on an Island. The park is very small. The Daughters of the Confederacy built a massive monument there to the confederate dead (I think about 2500) which dominates the little park. All the names and ranks are recorded including Fields. The Grandson, William Jason, was elected Governor of Kentucky in the 1920s and I was introduced to him as a child. His sister was my Gt. Gt. Grandmother. I know that Preston Fields served as a private in the unit and relocated to Northwest Missouri after the war. I know nothing about Preston and don't know if he was related. I would appreciate any feedback.
