Obviously something is incorrect here. Either her birthdate is wrong or else the mother of Henry Field is the first wife of Thomas Field. We will leave this for now just to prompt more research to clarify this relationship. She is shown on DAR application to be his second wife of Thomas Field. Actually Martha Winfield Harper would have been a niece to his first wife, Martha Scott.
